Its Good To Know I Am Part Of The Democratic Party

Or as it has been recently called. The Party Of Death as us Democrats are now being called. I guess I feel better in that i am not part of the conservative right wing.

some things about Catholics that people need to know


• The Catholic Church led The Crusades, which were some of the bloodiest wars fought in the name of God.

• The Catholic Church engaged in the Spanish Inquisition, which led to the oppression of Jews, non-Catholic Christians and Muslims. Many were tortured, killed and forced to convert to Catholicism.

• The Catholic Church's cowardice acting against Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. Hitler, who himself was raised as a Catholic, killed millions of Jews and non-desirables. While historians debate how bad the church was, it can clearly be criticized for not leading a movement against Hitler and not being sympathetic to the Jewish religion and its treatment in Nazi Germany.

• Most notably, the church's cover-up of countless child molestation cases involving cardinals and Catholic priests. I cannot imagine how these incidents will affect the futures of the children involved.


This is from veraserum.com

Within the paradigm of the Catholic Church there ARE things that people should be punished for. While pedophilia isn’t one of those things, apparently stealing is.

The Archdiocese of Nebraska is suing Sister Barbara Markey and some of her family members in order to recover nearly $900,000 the archdiocese says she stole as director of the archdiocese’s Catholic Family Life Office.

I agree that if Sister Barbara is guilty of stealing (and based on the information that has been released, there isn’t much doubt), she should be punished.

But if the Catholic Church is upset enough about a nun stealing money that they will take her to both criminal and civil court, why don’t they take steps to have their priests punished in criminal court for destroying the lives of THOUSANDS of young boys and men across the country?

Maybe it’s just me, but that seems inconsistent.

What Sister Barbara Markey should have done is taken part of that money she stole and used it to pay for hotel rooms to molest young children. Then the Catholic Church would have given her all the cover and forgiveness she needed.

Shut Up Burke, we all dont see your super conservative views.

So my question to you is. how can us Democrats still be part of the Catholic Church?
