    In the suffering that ecclesial wounds cause us, we embrace the Cross of Christ, because evil can only be opposed with love.

        But the Church itself has caused untold suffering on the world, from the "doctrine of discovery" that led to colonization and genocide of native peoples to the present day rapes. This can only be opposed by disbanding this Church.

        And “love”. is not changing the Church. Negative publicity and billion dollar settlements are. And those are only for the first world. It callously appoints priests convicted as child rapists in US to India.https://twitter.com/sankrant/status/970877799320858626?s=21 …

        The Catholic Church appointed a *convicted* child rapist as a Priest in India. No outrage from media, "liberals." Because of power of the Church in India, it's become the worldwide home for Church's pedophile priests, can get away with anything. https://twitter.com/sankrant/status/723739642923614208 …

        Do not be decieved by the devil who uses the word “love” in a most corrupt fashion. The Love of God is all good. I’m sorry for what the church is doing to your children. Seek the truth of Godly lI’ve through the Holy Spirit and know at least Jesus/our Father in heaven hears you!

        ecclesial: adjective pertaining to a church or its functions, teachings, or organization. Correct me if I am wrong: So Church causes harm and you go back to the cross for relief?

        Yes. I go before the cross. Don’t be confused by what corrupt men do and the divine Sacrifice of Jesus. The Christ did not abandon the cross he bore for us. Corrupt men have abandoned HIM! Jesus weeps at the abuse of his children. There is Mercy in Christ!🙏🏻😢

        Actually EVIL can be ROOTED OUT when it is NOT SYSTEMICALLY PROTECTED AND COVERED UP!!!!! EVIL CAN BE STOPPED when CIVIL LAWS ARE ENFORCED and PEDOPHILE PRIESTS ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND SENT TO PRISON!!!!! 👿👿👿👿👿

        Amazing you question my relationship w God because I damn His supposed representative on Earth for systematically endangering CHILDREN/adults (my fellow human beings!) trying to silence them while protecting their abusers! Never is energy displaced in speaking for the vulnerable!

        Have u ever prayed for the priests? Priests do millions of good things, have u appreciated any of them? Even those who enforce civil law are greater evil.

        Don't be mad at the pope. He can't send them to jail. He can only suspend priests from the priesthood, which he does.

        That you willingly defend his actions/inactions is tragic. @Pontifex WILLINGLY ENABLED THE SEXUAL & PHYSICAL ABUSE OF INNOCENT CHILDREN! I am LIVID with him. This is NO man of God. At best, he is an enabler;at worst, he is also a pedophile. Either way, he will answer to God.
