90,000 cases of sexual abuse in 2003 in America's public schools.  Acknowledgement that a lot of school districts cover up or discourage complaints.  And yet, here we are, 12 years later, and neither George Bush or Barack Obama has shut down the nation's public school system.  And I bet you voted for one of them, you sick evil person.

You could have left the United States and moved to another country.  But you stayed here, knowing this abuse occurs year in and year out.  You are a sick, hypocritical onlooker.  [/quote]

I acknowledged the abuse in the public system - at least twice now if you bothered to read.  I mentioned the school in Mo Co that covered up a scandal.

There are pedophiles everywhere - from businesses to schools.

However, if your brain functioned you'd understand my point - that churches represent some higher entity, some benevolent being that protects its adherents.  What protection were these children given?  Did you read the other article I posted - about sending these pedophiles to poor villages?  just pass them along in the name of God

FWIW, I'm no onlooker, honey bunny.  ex-Catholic here who stopped years ago 
Catholic school product, too . . .

I'm not the goddamn hypocrite.[/quote]

NP here. Oh gawd, the rabid ex-Catholic poster again. She's nuts and violently belligerent. [b]I'm not even Carholic [/b][b]and I'm sick of having to watch her. Wish she'd get a life and move on. [/quote]

If you're not a Catholic (or ex), what credible experiences can you share with the OP?

I'd say you're the one who needs to get a life and move on.[/quote]

As outsiders we have better perspective on this wackadoodle. She derails every thread on Catholicism with her own obsessions and pathological hatreds. She's a public nuisance, so she's everybody's problem.[/quote]

a public nuisance?  lol

How is sharing an opinion supported by evidence a "problem?"  Furthermore, as a former Catholic, who attended Catholic school and who received all of the sacraments, I think I have THE RIGHT to chime in b/c I understand the church.  Someone who's NOT Catholic can't speak to these rituals designed my man to brainwash the masses.

And who are these "outsiders" chiming in?  more non-Catholics?  What kind of perspective can you have if you don't understand the church? You can't recite a damn prayer from memory. You haven't been around nuns and priests - or had any in your family, right?  (I have.)

As an "outsider," you should stay OUT of the discussion b/c you have nothing to offer.

And finally, OP is a non-believer, and her kids don't believe.  Why go through the odd rituals of becoming a "member" of the church if you don't believe in God?  What's the goddamn point?

This poster is just as conflicted as OP - perhaps feeling even more guilt, which is method #1 in brainwashing.  love the fact s/he recognizes hypocrisy, finds that these stories insult his/her intelligence, and says religion is a business!   yet STILL attends church on a regular basis

enough to make any person's head spin

But I'm the nutty one.

[quote]I struggle with the Catholic thing too. I have reached the conclusion that the bible is a book of inaccuracies and that the thought of a heaven and hell simply insults my intelligence. That being said, I do not criticize those that believe, it's just not something I can believe accept. However, I do attend church regularly and give generously, especially since we are raising our kids in the church, but I recognize the hypocrisy. It's a giant struggle…I really and truly believe that religion is just a business. They even ask for 10%, or as much as you'll part with.[/quote][/quote]
