It isn't a "reality".
They have held back civilization for several centuries
They suppressed knowlege and science for more than 1000 years
They are directly responsible for millions of murdered humans

And the *current* catholic church is responsible for t6housands of mutilated 
and raped childs. Raped by their priests and bishops, and directly brushed 
under the rug by the catholic church.

In short: The current catholic church in not interested at all at doing 
activly something against their criminal priests. They rather try to silence 
the victims

What exactly is different for a islamic nutjob from a catholic nutjob?
Right. Nothing
Both are reprehensible, mindless scum. A disgrace to humankind

With respect to the murders, historically, yes... as have other groups you could name, religious, or not (i.e. Islamic invasion of India)

Reprehensible acts, to be sure, but even these acts pale in comparison to the current practices of Sharia law by any reasonable yardstick.

The nutjobs aren't the issue.

That's the Vatican for you and it is the result of their decision to
force a vow of celibacy onto monks like I said in a previous post.

The Vatican is at fault and I don't disagree here.

Let me know when a Catholic nutjob starts beheading people who disagree
with him or gang rape people of another religion.

Bullshit. Without the Catholic Church, we wouldn't have modern European 
Society. The Catholic Church preserved and increased science and 
industry. Only an idiot would deny the obvious.

No excuse for either the priests or bishops who protect them. It is 
definitely a "scandal" in the full sense of the word. But Protestant and 
Jewish religious leaders do the same and are also protected by their 
congregations or synagogues. This is a result of the fallen nature of man.

Most of these priests weren't fit for the job in the first place -- but 
you're right, the Church MUST do more to root out pedophiles. Completely 
agree with you here.

The level of your hatred and bigotry is incredible. I gave you a lot more 
credit for level headed sanity than I should have in the past, it 
appears. The difference -- of course -- between an Islamic nutjob and a 
Catholic (among many, many things) is that the Catholic is not beheading 
anyone in the name of his religion. If you can't tell the difference, 
than you're an absolute idiot. (Sorry, just calling as it is.)

Enter the Idiöt himself.

Agreed. It shouldn't be protected but it should also not influence the
credibility of the institution either. Unfortunately, the Vatican
routinely protects these people and insist on holding onto the vow of
celibacy which encourages such behaviour. As a result, it is very
difficult for me at least to defend them.

Kill the vow of celibacy, problem solved.

Maybe. But what if he's not so much an idiot as he is a victim of one of these 'priests'?

I was an altar boy as a kid, went to a summer camp for a week with these
people, had two priests performing my wedding and spent significant
amounts of time with them at my parent's home and elsewhere. Never once
did their behaviour suggest that they were pedophiles or molesters...
and I was a pretty cute kid so I'm sure they would have tried if they were.

The people I talk to the most at work are Muslims. I like them because
their culture and values are close to mine. However, they also don't
apply their religion at work and we are therefore in an environment that
is set up for us to get along.

That doesn't mean that they behave as well outside of the school. For
all I know, they might be advocating terrorism and contributing to
terrorist organizations. If they are, it's a matter of time before they
are arrested and jailed. However, this doesn't change the fact that they
are, indeed, nice people when I communicate with them.

That's why I believe that laws should come in and make it illegal for
government establishments to take on ANY religion but also make it
illegal for religion to EVER influence decision-making of any kind. If
they are told very directly that Sharia law and their customs will never
be a part of our society, they are likely to behave and they have shown
that they can. If they truly come in peace and intend to live amongst us
peacefully, they should have no trouble abiding by a law which destroys
any possibility of their values ever interfering with ours though what
they do in their own home is none of our business. If they feel like
fucking goats in the name of Allah, it's all good with me.

No, I had a "reado."  Color-coding of quoted conversations in my newsreader
is screwy with the window manager theme I'm using.  But that was funny while

Hmmm... "symbols or clothing or the like", yes, I can see how that would be such a huge issue for you <eyeroll>. It's "interesting", then, that you're not more vocal regarding the sanctioned criminal punishment (and killing) of apostates, isn't it?

But that's only when it comes to "symbols or clothing or the like", right? Oh wait, he's a Christian... never mind.

I actually agree with you here.

That's the thing, Christians don't exist anymore. Most people might
claim to be Christians but the faith doesn't influence their lives at
all. At best, they're atheists and only hold onto the Christian label
out of habit. *I* am the sole Christian in my workplace.

I was also an alter and my experiences weren't bad, either. Doesn't change the facts we all know happened. I'm not saying PK is a victim, just that he might be. If he is, I doubt he'd directly speak out on it and I don't blame him... especially if he's near my age, we were taught that 'men don't cry' bullcrap and it doesn't go away.

In Poland, the Catholic church allowed the numerous tribes to unite and
gave their a common culture and a common goal. It also ensured that
people had a common language. In every imaginable way, it was a good
thing. Even when the Soviets controlled the country and attempted to
take rights away from the people, their strong faith is what allowed
them to push back and prevent the Communists from taking away the very
thing that held them together. That's one of the reasons I consider my
faith quite important.

   I still can't get over that nonsense about hospitals.

Christianity also held it back for centuries
This came slowly to an end in the 16th century
But even then the church did would it could to hold back knowledge.

Astronomers were in constant danger to be ending in flames as "heretics" for 
simply telling the truth
The catholic church is responsible for hundreds of thousands if not millions 
death humans. The "Inquisition" (which exists to thius day, unde different 
names) was one of the most murderous institutions ever made my the church

This is patiently wrong. Of those only the celts are known to have made
