Vatican fires high ranking priest for coming out

Vatican fires high ranking priest for coming out
Krzysztof Charamsa planned his coming out as a signal to the Roman Catholic Church. He was fired, of course.


Quote:Charamsa, 43, initially planned a press conference in front of the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith's office, but moved it to central Rome after the Vatican action. He was joined by his companion, identified only as Eduard.

Charamsa told reporters that the timing of his disclosure was not related to the bishops meeting on the family, but said he hoped it might add "a Christian voice" to the synod that is expected to address how the Church can better minister to the homosexual faithful.

Quote:"The decision to make such a pointed statement on the eve of the opening of the synod appears very serious and irresponsible, since it aims to subject the synod assembly to undue media pressure," the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said in a statement.

I think I see a fault in this plan.

If you're gay, you get fired. if you're a pedophile, you just get moved. I see.

Edit: I meant to just edit this. Not double post.

And that is why one needs religion for "morality."  You don't get that perspective any other way.

Judgmental assholes.

Yeah, you're right Chad, as long as they're not adults, then it's not considered homosexuality.. or rape apparently.

After reading the bible, I didn't find a decent reason to believe that that book of shit strongly disagreed with rape. In fact, I remember one instance where it seemed to reward the rapist and punish the victim. How moral.. Hail the merciful god!

I am too lazy right now to search for an article for you, but I remember reading about a psychological study of child molesters (before everyone had the internet).  It turns out that men who identify as heterosexual are the ones most likely to molest children.  Even male children.

The takeaway from the study seemed to me to be this:  If you had to leave your child in the care of a stranger (which you should not do if at all possible), a woman is a better choice than a man.  And a gay man is a better choice than a heterosexual man.

Only in most cases it's not the strangers you should be a afraid of. The molesters usually are very close.

I don't doubt it. It makes sense to me, of course, they are mentally disturbed.

I agree with you, and I'm sure you know I was just pointing out the evil hypocrisy of the catholic church, but anyways.. They seem to have a 'being gay is wrong' mentality. They fire someone for admitting he's gay, but when he rapes a boy they move him, so he gets to do it again. WTF!? It's almost like Deut 22:28-29. The man gets rewarded for the rape, besides the 50 sheckels part. The priest gets off the hook even easier. It's as if, he's rewarded for his actions. If the idiotic primitive catholic mentality would change slightly, they'd allow women priests, and they wouldn't have to move pedophiles around, they could just get rid of them, but who knows if that would help? or if they would even care enough to do so.. They just want to protect their image. They don't actually give a shit whose lives they destroy.
