    Roman Catholic priests across Pennsylvania used religious rituals, symbols of the faith and the threat of eternity in hell to groom, molest and rape children, grand jury finds. https://abcn.ws/2PaBonb

        Allow this to be a lesson- Religion can be used by good people for great things, and religion can be used by wicked people for evil things. The problem is, most people can never tell the difference... until it is too late.

        Change “most people” to “unquestioning believers,” & you’re spot on.

        Sadly though, I think all too often they are one and the same. I think questioning believers are, by far, the minority?

        The next time a Catholic tries to tell you you’re going to hell for supporting womens’ reproductive rights, please remember their hypocrisy and smirk....it’s like being scolded by a hoarder for not taking out the trash.

        This is why I have grown to mistrust religion. So many times it seems like it is just used to control your mind.

        Mistrust Roman Catholicism. Look up Ante-Nicene vs Nicene. “Before Roman Catholicism = Ante Nicene// Roman Catholicism = Nicene Councils Roman Catholicism is NOT Christianity.

        They believe in Jesus Christ therefore it is Christianity. Don't try to separate it. It's simple.

        I don’t remember the letter/tweet; nonetheless, to you: no. Educate yourself to the Ante-Nicene Fathers vs Council of Nicaea A big NO.

        Celibacy needs to be elective. Women and married priests need to be allowed. The church needs to come into the future now.

        Explain the link between celibacy and molestation of young children, will you?

        The Catholic Church has been a refuge for pedophiles and rapists for centuries. This is only shocking to the sheep that refuse to understand how evil operates. Most Catholic Priests aren't evil,but the church has gone to great lengths to protect those that are.

        They did the same here in Australia & NZ , perfect phrasing. It just wasn't described like that by Royal commissioners, police, media but really should be, also the Anglicans

        ...they have been doing this forever. The question is are they going to do something about the behaviour all over or just in Pennsylvania? Normally the priests are just relocated with little to no punishment at all.

        HORRIBLE! Boston, Baltimore around the world. This happens too often. Religious teachings in school and at home should NOW include open frank conversations about consent and speaking up. Especially in the era of metoo children as early as 3 can be taught to say NO!

        These unspeakably evil priests forgot the last half of the Golden Rule. I wonder what Pope Francis thinks.
