How could anyone associate themselves with the Catholic Church after knowing about the amount of sexual abuse that has been going on for decades?

parental/cultural influence
>>66062914
This.
Their great great great great grandparents were tortured into believing
>>66062872
Because it's 100x less than what occurrs in public schools.
How can people still send children to school knowing how much children are raped there at 100x the rate?
And noone talks about it in the same way.

Learned something important about Australia today
>>66063169
That doesn't justify anything
>>66062872
Name one children's organization or thing you could associate yourself and your family that could not be tied to child abuse scandals.
>>66063169
How often are children in Australia raped?
>>66063169
Obviously a lot more people in the public school system than religious schools, Might be a higher percent who get raped in religious school when compared to the amount in state, But i don't know the facts and im not going to look them up.
>>66062872
>I read and believe the media
Hilarious. Are you American with a proxy or just extraordinarily stupid?
>>66063861
I don't get it. Are you saying it didn't happen?
>>66063615
Indeed. You are a horrible parent if you knowngly send kids to a place more dangerous than a catholic church. Stop sending your kids to school right away.
>>66063913
It's media shit
I could say my old principal raped me,
The cunts probably dead, just make some shit up and free money
This reeks of leftist athiest beat up shit
>>66062872
Implying it wasn't centuries, Milennia even.
Decades?
Get your fucking head out of the sand.
"My daughter is not obeying me!"
Church takes her to rid her of her demons.
Aka 100 man pound town ridding her of her demons.
Church has very clearly and very obviously been a haven for pedophilia.
>>66062872
>How can you support the human race with all the murder and violence in its past
This is fags like you.
>>66064153
Don't you have to go write an essay about the church claiming the earth was flat or something?
>>66064080
>Go to catholic school in Sydney
>Headmaster tries to say I'm crazy for writing a rape story in English (I'll admit, I was just trying to piss off the lefty, female teachers)
Turns out him and the deputy used to spit roast kids back in the good ole days.
I'm comfortable believing he's a gay, pedo cunt
>>66062872
That issue has been overblown by the media. I'm far more worried about how most pedophiles, catholic or not, are homosexuals.
>>66062872
Austrigger thinks the Akropolis has anything to do with the theophagy cult?

>How could anyone associate themselves with a family after knowing about the amount of sexual abuse that has been going on forever?
>>66062872
I mostly left cause of all the weird human glorification (in a sense). I am still a Christian, and disciple... BUT dividing ourselves about what rite is better or whats the best way to prayer is retarded
I like the Catholic Church because it is the most historically and traditionally linked to the roots of Christianity (as seen in singing, rituals, and even dress). But it starts to get weird when we say the hail mary like 50 times and keep pictures of mary, follow the Pope blindly and shit.
It's the exact OPPOSITE of what Jesus said - Christianity is meant to be personal. With that said though, Christians still need to stick together obviously like any community - but not the way its become now with Catholic Church.
Also - the fucking Catholic youth piss me off. All those festivals and world youth days and singing and christian rock bands and shit. Fuck. God (which I know people don't think exists - but if you are reading this just assume he does for a second), who is all powerful, all knowing, couldn't give two fucks if you sang and danced and shit.
He cares firstly about how you treat others and make the world less shit for your neighbour. Even if they hate you and don't believe in what you do.

The grace administered during the sacraments and the authority of the doctrinal teaching does not come from the moral excellence of man, but from God.
As for the sex itself, I'll repost another anon's post to explain my point:
When considering implicating the office of the priesthood or the Catholic Church as some sort of outlier in sexual abuse, I think it's worth recognizing that those abuses happen in lower numbers than in Protestant churches, Muslim mosques, synagogues, and various secular institutions. This includes public schools, in which teachers (most of whom are female and obviously non-celibate) are 100 times more likely to abuse children than Catholic priests. Cover-ups abound as well. The idea that there is any Catholic exceptionalism in the case of sexual abuse is premised solely on media coverage and not on population level parametric data:

And lastly, the cover up themselves were a thing some decades ago.
I'm out.
>>66062872
There are 1.7 billion Muslims who worship a pedophile. It's not even covered up.
>>66067105
I really fucking do not know why these /pol/ niggers believe on what the leftist media propagate about the Catholic church when in fact they claim that they dont believe the media.
>/pol/tards claiming themselves redpilled
>>66066687
It's kind of like my problem with the cunts who try to forcefully convert people, it ends up becoming hypocritical. The entire point is to be so welcoming that they themselves decide to change (e.g. how the Catholic church helped save Jews in WW2, and indirectly converted many of them).
>>66066687
I fully agree with your point that relationship with God is a personal one and that big part if things in Catholicism in that regard is not needed.
But the thing is by admiting that only would give Protestants extra points.
------
I would be called a Serblover or crazy by saying it aloud but the Orthodox Christianity and those old native Middle East denominations are the real deal.
Everything is tacky and filled with ornaments, symbolism and ceremonies have an aura of regality, churches are 20x better looking than any others.
You have to have a visual component in religious worships. People are suckers for that.
>>66062872
Try living here where it's actually considered a disgrace to NOT be a catholic

"How could anyone associate themselves with XXX after knowing about the amount of CRIME/CORRUPTION that has been going on for decades?"
