That depends on where you draw the line on the "past". Should today's church be held to account for the inquisitions, no. Should today's church be held to account for the recent decades of paedophilia, yes.
No let me ask you another thing.
KambahOne is going to come back and say but Telstra boss' didn't harbor them or protect the criminals but other bishops inside the Catholic Church did. It's an old chest nut argument that's stupid because it makes it sound like all the Bishops protected the priests that were at fault, but there are/were many many more Bishops who fought for justice inside the church to root out evil. Evil is everywhere, it's even in our own families champ. Problem is many do not recognize evil.
Best post mate... sums it up perfectly.
If Telstra are aware of the illegal activities and rather than report it to the police, transfer that employee to another branch where they again perform those illegal activities and that cycle is repeated for not just one, but multiple Telstra employees, than yes, Telstra has to be held to account for allowing those illegal activities to continue. Even the shareholders would be affected even though they had no stake or say in the matter, they would be affected by lower returns and share prices.
How is this possible that "The Church always and eventually roots out the evil within" when there's still evil within the Church? What world are you living in?
I’m glad you agree in your own non agreeing way lol
Live and let live is why we have trannies reading Tranny stories to our children tbh.
There are times when slapping can be justified.
bro you said it perfectly. It’s what really got to me this point of abandoning what’s good and what’s “happy” in the eyes of society and why I’m at times miserable or whatever. If our own God was treated like a subhuman, spat on, bashed, crucified, outcast from society, we should not expect any greater treatment then that. However, we still gotta strive to do good without reward on earth and to protect the church with our lives.
Are you insinuating the church was evil forming the crusaders after 400 years of brutal Islamic take over in Christian lands? Are you insinuating we should disregard all context to demonise an organisation we don’t like? Coz once context is applied 90% of. Leftist narratives fall apart. Hence why for example msm never showed the full footage of the George Floyd over dose death until way after the fact. Or how msm failed to mention how it wasn’t evil white Catholics being racist to blacks it was blacks being racist to white catholic school kids. See once evidence, context is applied the left falls apart
Although the church has every right to deny people the body of Christ if they’re proud in their sin and unwilling to seek forgiveness for said sins. Perfect example was Biden being denied by a priest due to his trance on abortion which was justified. And gays walking in with pride flags. And then cry victims. They know the rights and wrongs of the church but can’t help themselves in the endeavour of becoming victims by creating their own victimhood.
And the problem is .... ?
Your answer is the problem.... to normal people. We just can’t keep up with the tolerance to you progressive iq qweens.
Mate there are pedos everywhere unfortunately. Workplaces, footy stadiums, shopping centers, airports, they are everywhere! The only reason the Catholic Church is put under the microscope is because people have been trying to bring down the church for thousands of years way before this pedo business started. I support the church, the good bishops, priests and nuns who serve the community with genuine charity. I hope the disgusting clergy men who have tainted the church in a very bad way rot in hell for what they do to children and because I’m a believer and believe in the afterlife they will surely pay the price upon their death.
OK. But again ... "The Church always and eventually roots out the evil within"
yes normal. I don’t get the confusion? A mental illness being glorified and being made “normal” isn’t normal. Do you not see that? Or you do but it goes against your “tolerant” morals?
Oh, fuck off with your shit. Really. VEry Christian of you
Yes, over a period of 2000 years the Church has always corrected itself. And it will again correct itself. These pedos infiltrated the church in the 60’s and 70’s, not because they wanted to become priests, but saw an opportunity to join the church to hide behind the collar. Lately we have seen so many young men joining the priesthood with good intentions and zeal. Young men and women with genuine love for God.
Oh that’s right jesus accepted sin aye? You atheists aren’t very intelligent when it comes to known the difference between accepting the sinner but never the sin. Christ always accepted everyone...... whoooooo reverted from their sins. Not people who continued being prideful in their sin.
