[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anybody want to defend this post from 7:59?

[quote=Anonymous]
I grew up Catholic and now I am an anti-Catholic household. Maybe OP would ban her DH from working or being friends with me. Really, the Catholic Church was built on lies, scandal, stealing, whore houses, and so on. If you are going to scandalize the Masons you need to be fair and look at the history of the Catholic Church. Inquisition? Crusades? Gays? Abortion? 
Seriously. Glass houses, people.[/quote]

I actually agree that the catholic church is wrong on gay rights and abortion. Where she turns into a bigot is where she starts in on the lies, scandal, stealing and whore houses.  Unless somebody here thinks it's OK to say, I don't know, that all Republicans are whores because you disagree on tax policy. [/quote]
Where did anyone say all catholics were whores or thieves? No one said that.

And just to clue you in, people were posting ridiculous links to Masonic Lucifer worshiping videos and crazy websites. That was okay with you, but posting a link to an anti-Catholic website it not okay with you? No freedom of speech for people if they have nothing nice to say about your Church, only against organizations you do not agree with.

I really do think you are talking to and calling multiple people "bigots". There are several people posting.

But again, please tell me what you know about the Protestant Reformation and the corruption of the Catholic Church at that time.

[i]The years leading up to the Protestant Reformation were also plagued by moral corruption and abuse of position in the Roman Catholic Church. The priesthood was guilty of several abuses of privilege and responsibility, including simony (using one’s wealth or influence to purchase an ecclesiastical office), pluralism (holding multiple offices simultaneously) and absenteeism (the failure to reside in the parish where they were supposed to minister). The practice of celibacy which was imposed by the church on  the priesthood was often abused or ignored, leading to immoral conduct on the part of the clergy. Secular-minded, ignorant priests corrupted their position by neglect or abuse of power.[/i]

But I guess siting things that are taught in most high school history classes or an intense college course makes me a bigot. This is common knowledge, not a random person spewing untruths. [/quote]
