Glass Cathedrals

Let’s see how members of his Roman Catholic hierarchy behave themselves.

Thousands of priests sexually abused children, youth, and adults, heterosexual priests abused thousands of women, and bishops and cardinals protected the abusive priests. He must know of the organizations which care for the children of priests who abandoned the mothers of these children and the priests who have AIDS..(St. Petersburg Times 3/10/02, 5/12/02, 6/9/02,7/17/02; U.S.News and World Report 2/14/00)

In Newsweek, May 6, 2002, Jon Meacham states, “traditionalists are arguing the sexual predation of children and teens by priests is largely a homosexual issue.” In Time, May 20, 2002, Amanda Ripley reports, “Estimates of the percentage of gay priests range to more than 50%.. an institution that denounces homosexuality is kept afloat by a disproportionately gay work force. And like straight priests, many have broken their vows of celibacy with adults..”

In the St. Petersburg Times, Rev. Lee Breyer, an ex-priest says, “IF PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT ALL THE TYPES OF HETEROSEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS THAT WENT ON WITH PRIESTS, THEY’D BE BLOWN AWAY. Gary Schoener, who counseled more than 2,000 women abused by priests, said “At least half of heterosexual priests had some sort of sexual relationship with an adult woman...sex with an adult woman is ‘the most common violation of celibacy after masturbation.’” On and on with review boards, etc..

The priest said our nation violates God’s law, “Thou shalt not kill.” Elsewhere in that bible there are many orders by God to murder entire communities, including women, children, and sucklings; for example, “...their infants shall be dashed to pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.” (Hosea 13-16).. We don’t honor those laws.
