From Fark:



When you think of rogue human sexuality, do you think of nuns? The Vatican does. Giggitus

The Vatican denies there's a connection, but its reprimand of an influential American nun, at a moment when the Holy See is already engaged in an intense fight with most American nuns, sends a clear message: The Catholic Church’s leaders think America’s nuns have gone rogue and must be reined in. The Vatican on Monday censured Sister Margaret A. Farley, who teaches at Yale Divinity School, over a 2006 book she wrote that the church said is out of step with official church teaching on human sexuality.

Just weeks before, the Vatican issued a major report condemning the groups that represent most American nuns, saying those organizations had promoted “radical feminism” while neglecting teachings against homosexuality and abortion.

“The Vatican believes that there is a climate of dissent in some quarters of the women’s religious life in America,” said John Allen, CNN’s Vatican analyst. “They are trying to deal with that, and both these developments speak to that.”

Probably priests is disguise since the 'junk' is still hidden, they doing the Jerry Springer show at some time? I even checked to see if this was in the joke section. lol I'm beginning to think the Bible should be a separate religion from 'Christianity', a class title 'above non-fiction' of something appropriate for an author who picked a short name and is still referred to as 'that guy' because it is deeds in raelity that makes him somebody that is even remembered at all, let alone by name. Too bad false Christians being replaced by more false Christians isn't a sign of anything of real importance as far as the Bible goes. Zero importance as far as end-time prophecy goes. Do they even have an end-time doctrine or do they offer a different sort of 'lip service' in exchange for cash left on a plate and a tax receipt at years end?

Shouldn't the Nuns really be running the Christian bank that forks out interest free loans to the flock and collect usury off the 3% of the world that have the richest pay all usury fees.(not a crime if growth is legal and no faster than 5% per year)

Which point exactly did you red me for Ger? Knowing you as I do it is mandatory that I clarify that you do not thinks priests are above the laws of the Nation they are in, is that true or false?

Ultimately, the church is the people who create it. It will change, like it or not. It always has, it always will. Be it by monetary support of its parishes, or the voices of its clergy (and they have voices, I've heard them). It's inevitable.

How many Gentiles (member of the RCC or not) know that their Bible inspired bank would mean any gentile would get that cheap personal loan, the Churches way of helping get rid of poverty. Bankers (Nuns) and Priests (Clergy who publish the Bible and take questions from the flock. In the evening those two groups can hammer out who has the tougher job and the next the same things happens with a different client.

I would bet the first one to takes a few bucks off the collection plate (by being that poor) is going to get more than his fingers slapped.
When was the last time any Church had a member of the flock challenge what was being preached about? Nor would be allowed then or after, at least not with any grace and the truth is no respecter of niceties. (by choice most of the time unfortunately)

I'm not sure the Church is even supposed to be fixable before the common due date. It's most likely not a fluke that the rest of mankind comes under the very same judgment at the very same time and under the very same qualities. I have it referenced on some page that the words we say almosrt leave e residue on out teeth when we talk/think about God and since each person has that skin God has to examine each and wearing a cross isn't going to be of any value at all. That isn't that hard to show but having it accepted is more than some people can do. Having the 'lost' gathered before a certain date we call important loses it's false importance if what is trying to be avoided is avoided in a way that makes our 'efforts' being useless when 100% is the desired amount of this earth saved for a start-up in the new earth.

Here is some stuff the Vatican should have. Based on a theory new Jerusalem is scaled to the size of this earth and Ezekiel's temple. The basic idea is reprinted below but I would suggest that God would not have that huge city sit on an earth this size, instrae the size scale is given a certain factor, if that is applied to the current circumference of the earth would be multiplied by that same factor so that New Jerusalem (a cube measuring 1500 miles on any side) is the same proportion that Ezekiel's temple is to this earth. 200 time the current 25,000 miles would be the new distance. That way all life from day 1 will be restored there when all of mankind lands in that big city and the gates open and Adam and Eve exit onto a world that looks like it did in Ge:2 and it will become even greater than the land that starts as Eze:47 and ends up as another Eden and New Jerusalem is the garden part. If everybody is who this verse is for the cares of this place diminish in false importance. Especially as a 'sin-tax'.

Isa:60:22:
A little one shall become a thousand,
and a small one a strong nation:
I the LORD will hasten it in his time.

Your hatred of Catholics is only surpassed by your hatred of Jews.
