Female Priests are as bad as Child rapists

Category : Religion

That, at least, is the now official stance of the Catholic church

The Vatican today made the "attempted ordination" of women one of the gravest crimes under church law, putting it in the same category as clerical sex abuse of minors, heresy and schism.

Yes it seems that The Vatican has made another step towards its vision of a world time-locked somewhere in the mid 14th century by making women in the priesthood a notion that should be greeted with the same disgust as the rape of children. It's also worth pointing out that, considering the RCC's recent conduct, the RCC likely finds the ordination of women a much more heinous crime of that of child rape.

After all, a priest now caught trying to ordain a woman will now be excommunicated, whereas priests caught sexually abusing a child are just sent to a new parish! And what about in cases where it's not a priest? Well THEN there are excommunications...of the victims family.

But the most disheartening part of this whole story? That the introduction of this rule means that there are women, catholic women, who want to be an official part of this unashamedly misogynistic organisation. I can't grasp how any sentient person could be so taken in, so enveloped by their indoctrination, that they would not see this for what it is; It is like a Jew wanting to join the KKK, it's like a Vegan running a Slaughterhouse.

But that's not the only thing.

The pope's spokesman, Father Federico Lombardi, stressed that the changes applied solely to canon, or church, law. They had no bearing on whether suspected offenders should be reported to the civil authorities.

To translate that from PR-code into regular spoken English, The Church has no opinion on whether crimes, or people suspected of committing crimes (like child rape) should be reported to the police/civil law/Secular law. An organisation which prides itself on morals (lol) and justice, does not care either way if child rapists ought to be reported to the police.

Charming eh?

This is just another Item on a long list of reasons why I am amazed that there are regular people who are catholic. If I was catholic, and had a sense of morality, I would be deeply ashamed of my church and vocal in opposition to its hateful stances. Sadly, Catholics are seemingly neither.
