Combine Christmas and All Saints Day you end up with Halloween. So what's to belly ache about?Tristan Vickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348780254008374268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006647217634230985.post-68342412629458143012009-11-01T08:31:56.025-08:002009-11-01T08:31:56.025-08:00I am not saying that "incidents" occur w...I am not saying that "incidents" occur with everyone in that church. However, I also know that when they do, that institution has zero accountability. They have, time and time again, protected, and enabled the abusers within their system. They further victimize the victims. An occasional public statement by the "figureheads" does not make them accountable. When they start actually dealing with their problems, maybe my opinion will change. But, I know many lapsed Catholics who will not even consider going to mass because of the sicknesses in the system.<br /><br />Its really sad. Faith is not enough to get past all of the evil.tinkbell13https://www.blogger.com/profile/03322413631736929191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006647217634230985.post-76849178121640157982009-11-01T08:21:01.768-08:002009-11-01T08:21:01.768-08:00Here is a hypothetical experiment.

Who would have higher attendance, and why?<br /><br />I know where I would send my kids if given the choice.tinkbell13https://www.blogger.com/profile/03322413631736929191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006647217634230985.post-76147948901903580722009-11-01T08:11:45.244-08:002009-11-01T08:11:45.244-08:00This is not an argument... I posted this because, ...This is not an argument... I posted this because, I personally, find it disgusting that they deflect their evils by discussing how we ought to view a "holiday". They have much to amend for. In my world, a real house of "horrors" is (one of the many examples that I can give) is any of the schools that they established on a Native reservation circa 1950's, or Nova Scotia right about now. And, for me to "refute evidence" in this article would be to acknowledge that the devil existed. Another fairytale in a long list.<br /><br />People are getting more fed up with them now. People are leaving their churches in masses. Their time will come.tinkbell13https://www.blogger.com/profile/03322413631736929191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006647217634230985.post-9082206106925102902009-10-31T11:50:09.418-07:002009-10-31T11:50:09.418-07:00And your evidence to refute what this article said...And your evidence to refute what this article said would be?Thesauroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305052511095551483noreply@blogger.com
