The Vatican is about to release new guidelines to address the ever growing priestly child abuse scandal. This is something that should have happened a long time ago and even now, according to some Vatican critics, it does not go far enough since Bishops that tolerated and hid the abuse, do not get punished. It is a shame that these representatives of Christ on earth had to be bullied by mere mortals to do the right thing BUT…
In the new “penalties for priests” or the new “norms” policy, the Vatican lists the sexual abuse of children as a most serious crime and includes the sexual abuse of mentally disabled adults in the same category BUT TO INCLUDE THE ORDINATION OF FEMALE PRIESTS as somehow a most serious crime on the same level as sexual abuse of children is IMBECILIC to the highest degree; I cannot think of a higher form of absurdity.
I hope this will show Catholics just how senile and out of touch with reality their leadership is but also this should be reason enough to challenge the very basis of their divine authority?
The Vatican (Church) presents itself as “divinely guided” and therefore all Church pronouncements MUST BE OBEYED.
“We cannot trust our own ideas and our own thinking because they are not inspired and can become corrupt by suggestions from the evil one” reads one Catholic web site, “so we MUST obey even if we DO NOT AGREE.”
Officially, the Church states that it does not have any authority to ordain female priests but it does have authority to ordain male priests because Jesus ordained males as his followers (Apostles) but not female followers – bullshit!
Number one, Jesus did not write or record a single word so there is NO evidence what Jesus really did or even what he thought; we have only the words of people that invented Christianity and therefore had Jesus say and do whatever fit their agenda.
Even if you believe some of the Gospel stories may have a modicum of historical truth; Jesus looked to Mary Magdalene as his first follower (Apostle) – who did he reveal himself first to after he resurrected and told her to tell the “rest”?
But I am getting too deep so let me just say that if the pope was divinely inspired to equate the sexual molestation of children by priests to the ordination of women by priests then the divine inspirer they take their cue from is incompetent at being God, should be deposed and a new God invented in His/Her place.
