your religion is better than hers. His is better than yours. Its a stupid cycle.The thing is, Protestants have different churches for white people, black people, Korean people, Chinese people, Mexican people, but in the Catholic Church there is one Mass for all races, and we sit together in the pews like we're all brothers and sisters in Christ, because we are.
I wanted to talk about how Protestants separate people by race and ethnicity, while us Catholics do not. Let's talk about that, since it is the topic of the thread.

I'm not saying the Catholic God is better than the Protestant God, we worship the same God.your religion is better than hers. His is better than yours.

woman, who she despised because she could see her bare feet through her thongs.
She joined a church that has crackers and grape juice at services, not bread wafers and wine.
I was thinking she was a racist, and also, she left the true celebration of the Eucharist to engage in a mockery involving the kind of food children are given at snack time in pre-school.

Protestants as a group are most likely no more 'racist' than Catholics, but that's just anecdotal and no more serious, provable or true than your assertion.
But you must be aware that there are "black" Protestant churches and "white" Protestant churches and "Mexican" Protestant churches.Fine.I wanted to talk about how Protestants separate people by race and ethnicity, while us Catholics do not.

What I'm saying is that the Protestants separate themselves based on race and ethnicity, worshipping at different churches, while in the Catholic Church, we all worship in the same church.
That's the topic of this thread, so let's talk about that and stop changing the subject to something else.
I like Hinduism because it is about responsibility and liberty. I also like Buddhism because it is about intelligence.Which religion is the best, in your opinion?I was pointing out your religion isnt the best, like you like to play it.Any way, it seems like I can't start a Catholic thread without someone diverting it to a thread about the sex scandal. Maybe you should start your own thread if you want to talk about that, instead of hijacking mine.

You must be aware of that, it's hardly a secret.
And if that doesn't make Protestants more racist than Catholics, what does it mean?
There are Masses in foreign languages, but if you attended English language Masses you would see that all races and ethnicities are in attendance.But you must be aware that there are "black" Protestant churches and "white" Protestant churches and "Mexican" Protestant churches.Fine.I wanted to talk about how Protestants separate people by race and ethnicity, while us Catholics do not.

There are Filipino services where only Filipinos goto in the Catholic Church. Tell me I am lying because I have been too it.
Also Hispanic Catholics do not usually worship with your kind either.
So gay pedophiles are drawn to priesthood because of alter boys? Is that why a lot of them do it their entire lives?Actually, we had a protestant minister here commit suicide not too long ago after he was publicly accused of several incidents of pedophilia. Apparently they were true.Yes, its a personality disorder created from unnatural laws like not touching the opposite sex.Heterosexual priests have plenty of access to women, and I'm sure some of them give in to temptation.When are they alone with women? You think they are going to grab them by the pussy during Mass?So you're saying pedophiles are men with normal sexual attraction to women, but somehow, they become pedophiles because they have no access to women?"my religion is better than yours. Even though the stupid and unnatural rules for priests cause them to molest little boys"
That's probably one of the stupidest statements I've ever seen on this forum, and that's saying a lot.
Its not about homosexuality, its about availability.
Dont get me wrong, i dont have a bone to pick with catholicism any more than any other religion. But to sit there and act like you are the shit? Give me a break.
But attraction to children is a sexual deviation, it is not caused by Church rules, it is caused by a personality disorder and it may be because that person was sexually molested himself as a child.
A heterosexual priest is not going to start molesting children. You are stupid if you think that's the way sexual deviancy works.
Sexis is the most natural thing on the planet. For every species.
Its uncanny to think restricting someone from natural cravings such as that isnt going to hurt them mentally.
Why is there such an abundance of priests molesting children and not baptist preachers? Why does the church hide it?
Blackrook is right that pedophiles will chose situations with access to children, as normal men will gravitate to places where they can meet women.
It is not in any way caused by forced celibacy. What turns us on sexually is not within our control. It is not something we choose. All people can do is choose how/whether to act upon it.
I wasn't implying most priests are pedophiles or even homosexual.
I've never heard of them. Nothing like that at any church I've been to, for sure.But you must be aware that there are "black" Protestant churches and "white" Protestant churches and "Mexican" Protestant churches.Fine.I wanted to talk about how Protestants separate people by race and ethnicity, while us Catholics do not.

A normal man with normal sexual attraction to women isn't going to transform into a pedophile. That's not how it works.So gay pedophiles are drawn to priesthood because of alter boys?

Them having to swallow natural thoughts and cravings their entire life doesn't effect sexuality?
I wonder what brain chemistry would say to that?
I wonder what pedophiles who were driven to liking children because of social loneliness would say to that?
