I can understand how some people who went to Catholic schools no longer believe in the Church
I myself went to public school and no longer believe in the state
It’s UNREAL that these slides are from an actual FBI report.
Traditional Latin Mass. Conservative family values. Opposition to abortion. “Rejection of modernity.”
As a Catholic who attends the TLM, it’s disturbing to see ordinary Catholic beliefs and practices presented in this context by the FBI.
I’m grateful to the Trump administration for bringing this detailed report to the public and taking steps to ensure this never happens again.
St. Jerome on relics:
“We do not worship, we do not adore, for fear that we should bow down to the creature rather than to the creator, but we venerate the relics of the martyrs in order the better to adore him whose martyrs they are” (Ad Riparium, i, P.L., XXII, 907).
“Christianity can’t be as cool as Solomon invoking the shekinah glory, Elisha’a bones raising the dead, the exotic temple worship of the levites, or the wild visions of St. John.
“It must be bourgeois and boring.”
No wonder you prots killed western civilization.
@HoliestSaoirse@flid1na It literally is what happened. The police were informed and a varican investigation launched. Police decided not to continue.
There are real issues we can be discussing instead of fabrications
@HoliestSaoirse@flid1na 1. I don’t believe you. What catholics don’t see this as an issue?
2. This has been used by many to advance an anti-catholic agenda, including you, based on your other comments
3. Yes some bishops are still around. This is a known scandal

This scrutiny, while deserved, never seems to be directed towards other religious groups, even those who offend at MUCH higher rates. This makes catholics question the motives of those who bring this topic up, especially situated within contentious issues like homosexuality

We are worried about it. It is nothing short of a tragedy and those responsible will have to answer for what they’ve done or failed to do before God.
But this has become nothing but a punching bag. The Church has implemented incredibly strong child protection policies.
