I still think it is a requirement. Wether priests are part of the old old boys network looking out for their own or failing in their responsibilities because to do anything else would bring the church in to a bad light is another issue. Also your step did not confess. To be absolved of his crime he would have needed to turn himself in. Priests are human too and you stand as good as chance as on the street to run into an incompetent a$$hole who can't be bothered.
No, it is not, in and of itself, necessarily a sin. Having said that, understand that all other denominations are deficient in the faith since they have renounced doctrines of the faith. The fullness of the Christian faith, the whole deal if you will, is expressed only in the true Church
Latin is the language of the Church. However, the traditional Latin Mass which I think you are describing, is no longer the normative liturgy in usage through most of the Latin Rite. It is making a comeback, as it were, and more and more priests, with permission from their bishops, are again saying the lovely Tridentine Mass. I use it myself twice a month.
Because Mary, our Blessed Mother, bore the Christ and was bound to Him in a way no other human ever was. She plays a significant role in our salvation and is the vehicle through which we come to Jesus. At the Cross, our Lord indicated she was the Mother of the Church. She is also not tainted with sin, and is the most powerful intercessor in prayer and supplications.
Protestants reject allot of the faith, because in their attempts to self-interpret Scripture, they make erroneous errors in interpretation.
thanks sanctus. im kinda interested in stuff about mary. fr some reason i feel really attracted to her.did the early church think of her as special or was that something that came out later on in history?
thaks aj. i think yo do better keeping to the point instead of posting ten page long sermons full of bible quotes. for me, id rather read what you think, not what the bible says. i have a bible and i can read it for myself.sometimes i lose your point because the posts are sooooooooooooooooooo looooooooooooooooooooooooong that you answer people with.
so we are sinless or not? you said before we were never going to be sinless until we die and now you say we are sinless if we believe in godwhich is it?
what does the rc church teach about being freed from sin or born-again?

is it that simple for catholics? seems like there shold be more than doing the same sh*t over and over and still getting off the hook for it.sanctus???whatcha say?
Quote from sanctus in response to question, Did you say it is a sin not to be Catholic?....
"No, it is not, in and of itself, necessarily a sin. Having said that, understand that all other denominations are deficient in the faith since they have renounced doctrines of the faith. The fullness of the Christian faith, the whole deal if you will, is expressed only in the true Church."
Not nessesarily a sin? But it must be one of those optional sins the "church" can impose on you if it suits there monetary needs.
Yes, two faced policies and doctraines, that and any church I've visited is riddled with gay organ players, I mean United, Catholic, whatever. I have 'experienced ' such.
I rid myself of my sinfuless by becoming a practicing good person. Sans the bindings of someone telling me how to 'love god'. I found god in life.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ: A rock is a hard stone Thus: the saying" Solid as a rock".
Not that the reference is to the rock, but as solid and hard "as" a rock.
The church is built upon this principle, "Solid as a rock", which is in reference to faith, being solid as a rock.
Peter as you know denied Jesus 3 times. Why? Because Peter was thinking and acting in the flesh, which everybody should know, that the flesh is weak.
But after the Holy Spirit had come upon Peter, and the others, there faith was as solid as a rock and un-movable.
Upon this type of faith (Rock) Jesus said, I will build my church. Not the rock (Building, or organization) but upon faith. Unshakable, faith, that regardless of what the flesh made desire, faith is what sustains us in hope of glory.
Tell, me folks, upon what rock is your faith trusting in? The physical rock (An earthly institution) or a heavenly institution not made with human hands?
Num 20:10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?
We all know that water does not come out of a rock, but what does, if reference is made to ____?
If you read that account, you will see that even Moses struggled with it, because he had to strike the rock twice before it water came out.
Faith is the Key, and if faith is had, then God will see to it that it will be as Christ, "Solid as a Rock".

God understands us better than we understand or selves. And His advice by way of Paul said:1Co 7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
1Co 7:7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
1Co 7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
1Co 7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
"To burn", is in reference to a lustful desire, which causes us to sin.
Therefore, if a priest has those desires, and cannot contain himself, then follow God's advice by Paul, and get married.
