CB, Yes, there are pedophiles in every denomination, religion, and way of life, but only the priests consider themselves qualified to lord over their flock, and presume to decide what is a sin, and then think that they are closer to God than any other Christian, which allows them to forgive a sin, or order penitence, while they are protected from the law by other mere humans.
I have had to listen to many Catholics, all my life, as they say that the Catholic denomination is the only church of God, and that all others are beneath them. The Vatican is nothing but a political citadel where mere human men live in absolute opulence while a significant number of their parishioners starve to death.
Murder is a sin. Who says it is a mortal sin? BTW, new translations done in 1996 have revealed that the correct commandment says "You will not murder", instead of just any kind of killing. The Bible proves that to some extent when in Exodus, God gave the commandments to Moses, but in Leviticus, gives Moses a list of people to kill on the way to the land of milk and honey. Would God contradict Himself? Not likely!! |
