LordReed: The only word that comes to mind is, sickening.
Sickening is an understatement. What I find worse than sickening is the Pope who has been defending his minions found culpable in this abuse of children. All he is concerned about is defending the name of the church to the detriment of the victims. These victims have been deliberately silenced by endless litigation and cunning sheilding of priests by transfering them to other continents where they conveniently resume abuse of fresh victims. The church has not been allergic to buying silence of victims through the deep pockets of the papal banks.
Ubenedictus: the Vatican archives are not custodian of atrocities, they are the place the church documents for over centuries are kept, the archives are sometimes opened for academic research, be informed.
the same pope puis who was lauded by the Jews in Rome for saving them and coordinated the church efforts to save millions of Jews including hiding them in the Vatican, or do you mean the pope who released the encyclical mite brenda sorge against Nazism.
you have your history backwards.
Fist off,I want you to know that I know more about the Catholic church than you can ever know. You might carry yourself like the Voltron of Catholics on this forum but I assure you that where your knowledge of the catholic church ends is where my knowledge begins. In response,I sincerely advise you to read widely concerning your church because there are a lot of books concerning Pope Pius xii and the general concencus of scholars is that while he mouthed inanities about the fate of the gassed Jews,overall he pretended to be unaware of the arocities of Hitler and Musolini becausr he generally felt Hitler and Musolini were a lesser evil than the communist Josef Stalin. End result six million Jews gassed to death by the Nazis and thus creating the precursor of the Arab-Israeli coflicts that last till today.
If the Vatican is truthful and honest they should stop releasing snippets of the documents in the secret archives that favours the church. The pope should in particular release documents in the archives of the atrocities committed by the Catholic church from 1939-1945. Those are the documents historians want to see.
Ubenedictus: this is a thread for Catholics to chat with each other, it is like a rest room for Catholics on nairaland, we don't banter here, as you may have noticed the issue of abuse was talked about even before u arrived.
filling the thread with abuse videos just won't do it especially as you already have a thread on abuse cases.
this is the aim of this thread
This Thread is for Catholics Nairaland and all interested to enjoy a chat with one another. It is simply a place where Catholics can meet with each other daily, leave Bible verses of encouragement, motivational talks, leave prayer requests,offer prayers, provide a listening ear to each other, provide comfort, care for one another, talk about issues of concern and interest, share knowledge, provide love, spiritual and moral support and Also Post some Interesting Things About The Catholic church. U can also Ask Any Question you have.
we are hardly ignorant of this cases, put them in the right thread.
So the Catholic thread is allergic to truth about abuse and rape of children by Catholic priests? I did not know that disclosing the truth has a time limit? I did not know that once abuse has been discussed once on a thread,it can not be discussed again? What are you afraid of? You are more interested in defending the rot in the Catholic church than seeking justice for decades of abuse perpetrated by Priests hiding under religion? Sickening. Oh,I get it now,this is a thread where Catholics hide their heads in the sand like ostriches,so the stench of the carcass of abuse perpetrated by their priests and Nuns does not get to their nostrils. The hypocrisy on this thread makes me sick to my stomach. What about the victims
Ubenedictus: the Vatican does not twist or hide scriptures, that is untrue, neither the Vatican nor the pope supported the Nazi in their crimes in fact the Vatican was among the earliest authority to condemn Nazi crimes and issued an encyclical to that effect, the Vatican also saved countless Jews from the Holocaust, Joseph ratzinger was forceful conscripted into the army and he deserted when the war came. so your idea of support is untrue.
I stand by my comments, you can't purport to know someone's motives and reasons better than the person.
I hope you are conversant with the term "Vatican secret archives?" Archives hidden in the Vatican that contain volumes of files of atrocities committed by the Catholics against humanity and I hope you are aware that any serving Pope is the sole custodian of access to these archives? Let the Catholics open up the secret archives especially from 1939-1945. I hope you are educated on the term "Hitler's Pope" which refers to Pope Pius XII and his conduct of not once condemning Hitler's persecution of the gassing of millions of Jews. Pope Pius tacit support of the Nazis and Mussolini in Italy is a well known fact.
Ubenedictus: dantedasz, this is a thread for Catholics, not your abuse thread.
if you have an issue you think Catholics can help you with say it, if your aim is to simply paste abuse videos then do that on your thread about abuse....
there are rules on nairaland against posting off topic, put the abuse videos in the abuse thread, this thread isn't for that.
How is abuse against victims by Catholic priests off topic? Why are Catholics scared of the truth? If you feel these truthful videos about conduct of Catholic priests is off point,I believe the report button is available to all Catholics who are offended by these honest videos which appear to be touching you close to your heart .
Ubenedictus: this your guy suddenly knows the reason for pope Benedict resignation better than Benedict himself abi?
The fact is that the Vatican has a history of suppression of religious documents running for decades. They are known to have twisted and hidden scriptures that are not favourable to the Catholic creed. The Catholic church and the pope even have a history of supporting Hitler and the Nazis Only a brainwashed minion will believe the official reason for Benedict's resignation from the papacy. There is more than meets the eye in that resignation.
Ubenedictus: you are just throwing tantrums like a kid.
I asked you a question, would you like a similar treatment if you were accused of a crime, is it right that an accused person is presumed guilty even before trial, would you love such treatment.
there are no such thing as Catholics trying to tie up this case in endless litigation, in fact the church has done no such thing in this case, the accused was immediately reported to law enforcement and prevented from ministry, there was no foot dragging or time wasting or aimless litigation.
or are you one of those people who believe an accused person should not have his day in court, or you only throw away the presumption of innocence because you are biased against Catholics?
the Church handled the issue well and it shows your bias when you seem to accuse Catholics for doing the right thing in this case.
Kid? I can bet my bottom dollar,I am older than you, however that is besides the point. On this thread I have posted uncountable videos of victims of sick,cruel and inhuman abuse. This abuse was carried out by Catholic priests and nuns on school children placed in their care. There is even a video of s grown man who went to visit his abuser in a hospital where the priest was living out the last years of his life ravaged by sickness. The grown man tells the camera that he can enter that hospital and take the life of his abuser but he is not going to do it. I bring up this story to make you understand that some of the abused children may forgive but some will not forgive. The Catholic church has sheild so many priests accused of abuse through intmidation,endless litigation and outright bribery of victims,but I assure you that there is a limit and sooner than later some of the victims of priests abuse will fight and strike back with vengeance and rage by taking the law into their own hands. Mark my words.
The victims will start striking back sooner or later. You can't hide under the cloak of religion and keep on abusing children in your care and then when you are accused you tie up the case in endless court litigation. Sooner than later the victims will take the law onto their own hands.
Ubenedictus: the alleged victim has had her say, the court will determine the truthfulness of her allegation and punish accordingly.
the accused on the other hand has already been judged even before he is found guilty, he has already lost everything even before the trial began. justice demands that the accused is presumed innocent until proven otherwise by a court of competent jurisdiction.
the guy has lost his job, he has been evicted from his residence by the church, all priestly faculties has been withdrawn and he is banned from parish property. that is unjust, he has been profiled guilty until proven innocent.
if you were accused of a crime and hasn't been found guilty do you think it is just that you should be sacked(instead of suspension), driven from your home etc?
that is objectively unjust.
and if you can't see that maybe it is you who is sick.
If you Catholics think you can continue abusing little children in your care and when accused try to tie up the cases in endless court litigation till they kingdom come,you guys are in for a rude awakening when the victims start taking the law into their own hands. Sick fvcks!
chiommy123: Your atheism can NEVER stop God from existing and being worshipped by legion and multitude of angels and even human beings and the 24 elders in heaven who are always bowing before God and saying Worthy worthy is our lord God
Ubenedictus: I go day care run by Catholic clergy, my brothers too and my sister, also my mum, my sister worked in a nursery school ran by Catholic clergy, and I in particular spent much of my childhood with Catholic priests, none abused me, none abused us, or anyone I know. I have no problem sending my kids to a day care run by Catholic priests. In fact that is the place they are least likely to be abused.
In fact statistics show that if 1000 people are abused in a year, 300 of them was by family members, father, mother or relations, 600 of them were abused by close associate liked teachers, nanny, family friends and acquittance, 100 by stranger. Among those abused by associate, teachers abused at least 100.
Clergy of whatever religion will statistically abuse 2% which is about 20 with the current strict policy In the Catholic church the likelihood goes very small.
So the least likely place for a child to be abused is a Catholic clergy, My kid is much safer with a priest than with a teacher or even a relative.
Even at that I am committed to helping my church be even more safer and abuse totally eradicated, abusers prosecuted.
Eminem beefed/destroyed a lot of musicians careers in the course of his musical history. Benzino,Ja Rule,Insane Clan posse,Mariah Carey, Jermaine Dupri, his mother Debbie Mathers,his ex wife Kim,Michael Jackson,Christina Aguilera,Will Smith,NSYNC,and even Bill Clinton,George Bush and Donald Trump. Most of these people have clearly choosen to ignore him maybe because of his clever word play on the Mike. However in 2018 it appears this Machine Gun Kelly has got his number because he had hit at every forbidden subject on Eminem's life. While it is clear Eminem is a better rapper,it is obvious that Kelly is a hungrier rapper and I am quite sure he has got more ammunition loaded in his Glock waiting for Eminem's response. Should be interesting.
This headline is false and misleading. The teargas occured after Sowore and his group had prostrated to the Ooni, prostrated to the chiefs and elders, prostrated to the Ife people. In fact they prostrated to all the elders in the hall. So where is this falsehood coming from? Watch the complete video here
westcole: Yes they came in waiting for the King for almost an hour plus because the King was attending to some important issues. Eventually the King and his people came out to receive them you need to see how they were received at the palace but he spoil it with ego. as mighty as Obj his postrate to greet the Ooni but Sola refuse to do that instead question the King why they will have to delay them for 1hr before the King can see them. he was corrected to first bow and greet the King sturbon head no go gree and that was not too okay with the palace aid's so he was teargas when they were making noise even when the King was addressing them. they come dey make noise that if they born the King he should enter OAU. can you imagine that? can they try such noises with Sultan of Sokoto?
Did you watch the video at all. Stop spreading falsehood. Here is the full video.
The level of corruption in this APC government will only be exposed by a change of party in the government. I bet that this Abba Kyari case is just a tip of the iceberg of the monumental corruption going on under Mr Buhari,while he hypocritically pretends to fight corruption.
If we follow the teachings of the Bible there is no way any woman should be a Christian not to talk of mounting a pulpit. Spare time and watch this video to the end. These are things most Christians know or don't know are written in the holy books. Happy viewing.
luvmijeje: There are billions of ways to access God. And my next thread will unveiled those ways.
This is going to be enlightening. Billions of ways! But why do you need a new thread? Can't you tell us the Billions of ways to access God on this thread? Any way I am very much interested in knowing some of these ways.
iammo: bible isn't a scam, laziness on the part of the readers and lack of research causes smart guys to use it as a tool to scam people. each chapter was written by different people with almost different knowledge of life and philosophy. like books written by mosses reflects his background as someone who grewup in an Egyptian household, and understand magic very well, books written by Mathew reflects his personality has a government tax collector and a runs guy. the first few chapters/books written in the bible was written 1000 years plus to when authors like peter wrote theirs
