What you posted are deeds of some of the people within the Church.  Their deeds cannot be misconstrued with the teachings of the Church.

The Pope himself (Benedict) apologized to the victims when he visited the US this past summer (2008).  What are you talking about?  Do you want him to get on his knees and give every single victim an personal apology.  Ok, since you are much much holier than us, how should the Pope deliver his apology (which he has already done)?

"The greatest genocide during World War II, in proportion to a nation's population, took place, not in Nazi Germany but in the Nazi-created puppet state of Croatia."

"Genocide in Satellite Croatia, 1941-1945"
Professor Edmond Paris,
Chicago, 1961, Introduction to the book.

"Nonpartisan sources agree that mass genocide was authorized by the state of Croatia. They concur that the state instigated, planned, and executed massacres against the Serbian Orthodox minority,  and that the Catholic clergy approved, led, or failed to denounce these massacres."

"Accounting for Genocide"
Professor Helen Fein,
The Free Press, New York 1979, page 102.

"THE VATICAN'S HOLOCAUST is not a misnomer, an accusation, and even less a speculation. It is an historical fact. Rabid nationalism and religious dogmatism were its two main ingredients. During the existence of Croatia as an independent Catholic State, over 700,000 men, women and children perished. Many were executed, tortured, died of starvation, buried alive, or were burned to death. Hundreds were forced to become Catholic. Catholic padres ran concentration camps; Catholic priests were officers of the military corps which committed such atrocities."

"The Vatican's Holocaust"
Baron Avro Manhattan,
Ozark Books, Springfield MO, 1986
Preface to the American Editions

Compelling Jews to wear yellow badges came from an invention of the Catholic Church. The Fourth Lateran Council of 1215 set up the Inquisition along with enforcement of Jews wearing a yellow spot on their clothes and a horned cap (pileum cornutum) to mark them as the murderers of Christ and to remind them of their descent from the devil. During the Black Death plague which ravaged Europe in the 14th century, the Catholic clergy aimed its blame at the Jews claiming they worked for the Devil and had poisoned the wells and springs. Their extermination compares with the pogroms that took place in the 20th century under Hitler. During the Spanish Inquisition, the Catholic Church directed its actions against the baptized Jews, the marranos. They forbade them to hold any office in the Church or the state; many suffered torture or death.

Popes have traditionally supported anti-Jewish acts and beliefs. Pope Paul IV in the sixteenth century established the Roman ghetto (another Catholic invention). For more than two centuries afterward, Catholics humiliated the Roman Jews and degraded them at the annual carnival. In the same century, Pope Gregory XIII instituted enforced Christian sermons insulting Judaism. [Cornwell, p. 299]. In a Papal custom Popes performed an anti-Jewish ceremony on their way to the basilica of St. John Lateran. Here the Pontiff would receive a copy of the Pentateuch from the hand of Rome's rabbi. The Pope then returned the text upside down with twenty pieces of gold, proclaiming that, while he respected the Law of Moses, he disapproved of the hard hearts of the Jewish race. [Cornwell, p. 27]

Please leave carmelily alone to her opinion she is bitter with the catholics, who knows may be she was dating "them" I mean the missed road priests of USA.

Psychologically somebody needs a Doctor here

Did Jesus say that we should approach people with hatred or cynicsm? No he did not.
If you don't understand, then ask, and when questions are asked of you, then please respond.

I am stil waiting for non-Catholics [/b]who know the Bible to actually answer one question about the Bible and about GOD. Nope [b]they run and hide.

It really is sickening, if you can't be mature about discussins then simply don't respond.
If you cannot help but be hypocritical then please don't respond.
If you cannot defend your own beliefs with logic and the Bible, then please don't respond.

1) The earliest record of the Church being called Catholic was in 100 A.D.

2) Before you start speaking idolatry, why don't you first go learn what idolatry means, then you will see that it is not found anywhere in the Catholic Church.

3) Show me the pedophilic doctrine

4) Show me the wars and racism.

Incase you don't know the Catholic church was the Church that fought against racism and slavery. If you don't know well now you know

5) Show me the politics in Catholicism

6) ANd Christ said there are those who are unable to marry because they were born so, those unable to marry because they were made so by man, those who choose to be unmarried for the sake of the Kingdom of heaven, let those who understand do so.
So please simply state that you do not understand Jesus, thank you.

Paul himself was unmarried. The apostles moved around too much to be at home with their families, well for those who were married. They remained celibate until their death. Unless you would say that they didn't travel to spread the gospel.

Look if you don't know anything about the Church, then kindly keep your comments to yourself. If you are sincere and want to learn then do so. You don't have to agree but you have to respect.
If it is burning your body that we have it together and we are not answerable to any man, sorry but that's your own palava.

Remember Jesus was persecuted as the Church is persecuted for spreading the gospel, the Church will always be persecuted and much more than He was.

SO hate it or love it, we have been here for 2000 years and we will continue to be here. There is a reason why the Church has not fallen, did you ever ask yourself that?

Anyway, peace. I would love to have a convo with you, but only after you come correct and with respect.

Angelheart:
Oh really??Now I see why you are this stupid!

bawomolo:

toksdam:

nwakaibe:
If some of them start granting press conferences, it would be tagged a show off.

darefestus:
Nigeria has never had good universities
The likes of OAU,UI and ABU are all living in past glories
Thats not to say that it cannot get better
But something as to be done real quick!

Big B1:
No need to beef, sorry about that!

Digiman:
New World Order ?, What new World order, it's been around for a while:

blackspade:
Is this your catchphrase or something? I mean seriously, it seems like 80% of your responses consist of "ROTFLMAO!!!"

honeywood:
marriage is not for boys but for matured men and women who can tolerate themselves.

bintab:

Big B1:
My 4th assignment will be to introduce the selection of Most Valuable Contributor, every 6 months.
This elected MVC will also win a gift for his or her wisdom and dedication.

The gift will be any one of these 5 items:
1. A Rolex watch
2. A 5day trip to United States Virgin Island
3. A plane ticket to Nigeria
4. An Apple labtop
5. A plane ticket to Mecca.

I think this implementation would encourage Nairaland members to be more serious and sensible at the same time.
Nairaland makes money every minute; this implementation is another way to share part of this income with the members.
Give and Take: an incredible strategy to keep business alive and more profitable for many years (a lesson from one of the greatest businessmen Nigeria has ever produced).

Nairaland needs an entity that knows 1 or 2 things about business and not just an ordinary bubble-head moderator.

I've posted my proposal on page 1; I look forward to hearing when to start these duties.

jay bee:
On another note, everyone keeps bashing naij on it's inability to produce uni's that is among the elite, how come naij students consistently rank among the best students in this uni's?

He pioneered monetization of faith with virtually everything faith related becoming saleable from cleverly packaged messages in the form of mp3, video and audio cassettes, vcd and dvd etc. to paying partnership programmes not forgetting daily devotionals, books, requests for donations, seat bookings, even miracle crusades, the list is endless. Hardly anything faith related which comes out of his stables goes uncharged.

Sholeyb:
By the way I hour walk is not a big deal to me, it is good exercise. But I get the part that it is because of lack of finances. You have to learn to think positively, if your friends for instance thinks 'thank God that I still have legs to walk and I can exercise and keep in shape, she will start to feel less upset about the whole situation'.

jennykadri:
