Resign? But how can he resign from a sacrament? Isn't that for life?

And marriage is not for life for Catholics?

Quote:As a Cardinal in Argentina Pope Francis was told that priests were raping deaf children but did nothing to stop the sexual abuse and punish the abusers.

These scandals never stop. As I've said many times in many of these discussions, the Catholic Church is clearly the most morally and politically corrupt organization on the planet. Dodgy

Catholic Dickhead Pharmacist refuses to fulfill woman's prescription to help her finish her miscarriage and avoid serious infection.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

Quote:"Our practice is based upon our overwhelming concern for patient safety and care, balanced with the need to accommodate the religious beliefs of our employees."

Read: Religious beliefs of our employees are more important than someone getting an infection and dying.

Quote:"If no other pharmacist is available, the pharmacist must consult with the patient to arrange for the transfer of the prescription to another pharmacy that is convenient to them," Fecher said.

Except the pharmacist refusing the medication was also refusing to transfer the prescription.

Quote:“All women should be able to go to a Meijer pharmacy to obtain the medicine they need without fear of discrimination,” said Kovach. “She was refused this medication simply because she is a woman ... clearly (she) was a victim of sex discrimination. Had the customer been a man prescribed the same medication, that is also commonly used to treat ulcers, we have no doubt the pharmacist would have filled it.”

Clearly this is true because the pharmacist told the patient that he was refusing the medication because he believed she would use it to end a pregnancy.

Quote:"I just don’t want anyone to be denied their medication for religious beliefs," said Peterson. "Pharmacists should fulfill their duties to provide medications and establish that clear policy moving forward."

Yes. Full stop.

A Catholic exorcist said he plans to hold a mass for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh next weekend after a group of witches announced their plans to gather in Brooklyn to publicly hex him.

"Conjuring up personified evil does not fall under free speech," Father Gary Thomas, who serves as an exorcist for the Diocese of San Jose, Calif., told The National Catholic Register.

A wider group of Catholics and exorcists also plan to pray and fast for "the protection" of Kavanaugh, who is Catholic.

They should pray for Kavanaugh's liver.... that is what seems to be in the most danger!

Meanwhile, elsewhere, it seems that the dumb fucks can't find anyone who isn't implicated to even do an investigation.  Maybe they should hire Bob Mueller when he gets finished with the WLB?

Quote:Catholic Bishops Promising to Fix Sex Abuse Problem Face Cover-Up Accusations

Quote:As Catholic bishops try to reassure the flock that the church is finally confronting the scourge of sexual abuse by priests, it has fallen to Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo, the president of the American bishops conference, to lead the effort.
“I have no illusions about the degree to which trust in the bishops has been damaged by these past sins and failures,” said Cardinal DiNardo, in one of the many statements he has issued on sexual abuse in recent weeks. “It will take work to rebuild that trust.”
Yet Cardinal DiNardo himself has recently been criticized for allowing a priest accused of abuse to serve in a parish in his archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, disregarding the warnings by a young woman who said she told the cardinal in person seven years ago that this priest had molested her when she was 16.

Hey, that's why they're sucking up to Kavanaugh. They have a lot of legal nightmares on them and much more pedophile cases to come so it is urgent that they get some powerful judges on their side. You think that criminal organization like Catholic Church would last this long if they didn't have ties to governing bodies? I mean you have over 2000 signatures by law professors attesting that Kavanaugh is not capable of being a supreme judge that don't even take into account the allegations against him and yet Catholic Church will all make it look like a Catholic boy is being persecuted by the devil possessed heathens - oh, so Christ-like.

Only baptism is for life.

"There are three sacraments that leave indelible marks on the soul: Baptism. Confirmation, and Holy Orders. This means that in heaven we are metaphysically changed. One’s very being undergoes a change for having received these sacraments. So our souls and glorified bodies will reflect this in heaven for all eternity.
This does not mean that our personal histories on earth will be forgotten or not acknowledged. Just because sacramental marriages are until death and are therefore fulfilled in heaven, the spouses will remember their marriage and appreciate it and each other, more than ever. My parents will always be my parents and I will always be their son. This goes for spiritual parents as well. I will always be a spiritual son of St. Dominic and you and Fr. Joe will always be the spiritual children of St. Francis. Heaven does not destroy what God willed on earth; it simply perfects it by completing it."
Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
