SAN ANGELO, Texas - Children removed from a polygamous sect's Texas ranch will remain in facilities here until a scheduled April 17 hearing on their status, officials said Friday.

(Salt Lake Tribune 4.11.08)



Amazing public relations at a very behind the scenes level, using that bottomless briefcase of cash.

Meanwhile Take Back The Churches

Onward and more to come. . .

I live in the heart of America, and am haunted by the saying:
"Evil succeeds because good men do nothing." by Edmund Burke.

Albert Einstein had another way of saying it:
"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing."

So I do what I can.

Understanding the Pope

I'm about halfway through a recently released book called A Most Holy War: The Albigensian Crusade and the Battle for Christendom, published 2008 by Mark Gregory Pegg.

Two particular characters might even sound familiar:

"Innocent III (Lotario di Segni - 1160/61-1216) Elected pope in 1198 and exhorted Christain knights to expunge the Provenal heretics from the lands of the count of Toulouse in a mighty crusade in 1208. He envisioned himself 'below God but above man, less than God but greater than man, who judges all things but who no one judges.' "

"Amaury de Monfont (died 1228) Incompetent and uninspiring eldest son of Simon de Monfort. He succeeded his father in 1218 and conducted the holy war in a determinedly woeful manner. Easily manipulated by the pope, the count of Toulouse, and the king of France."

50% of current priests are gay.

The Pope has NOT dealt with the fact that approximately half of the priesthood in American and much of the world is gay. When you have such a high percentage of priests who are gay, you will have trouble. That may not be politically correct to say, but it is the truth. Not that all gay men, by any means, are interested in underage children, but most of the "pedophile" acts involved young males between 12 and 18, and that is behavior that a higher percentage of gay males engage in than straight males engage in with underage females.

There is NO dogma that requires priests to be unmarried. In the Eastern Rite of the Catholic Church, most priests are married. In the Orthodox Church (whose priesthood the Catholic Church recognizes as valid) most priests are married. For the first thousand years of the Catholic Church most priests were married and for the first few hundred years most bishops and many popes were married.

With the great shortage of priests and the high rate of gays in the priesthood all Catholics should be demanding that the rules preventing married men from being priests and bishops be ended at once. There is NO legitimate reason to continue with the Dark Ages policy of allowing only unmarried men in the Western Rite of the Catholic Church.

After my wife died of cancer, I entered the deaconate program of the Catholic Church. What I saw was sad. The priest in charge of our program had served time in a Federal prison for child porn possession (boys as young as eight years old being raped by adult men were some of the "topics" of the porn found in his rectory). Many of the professors in the program were gay. I found that the gay priests were usually the ones who had a theology that was simply so far out that sometimes it could not even be called Christian in the broad sense of the word, much less Catholic in the specific sense of the word.

If the Pope truly wants to clean up the pedophile mess in the Catholic Church he needs to allow married priests and bishops. That is not a absolute cure, but having a much larger number of straight men in religious life, including men with families with young children, will go a long way to forcing the pedophiles out of the priestly ministry and in keeping future pedophiles out.

Author's response

 The point is the Catholic CHurch aided and abetted thousands of pedophiles.  4500 is the number identified in a database at http://bishopaccountability.org you can start from A to Z, 4500 identified with enough credible evidence to be included. 

 For each of the 14,000 plaintiffs who've gone through civil court and gotten settlements there are likely 10 for each one, as less than one in ten come forward.  To save the family embarrassment, because family are still Catholic, because they don't want to be FOUGHT by church attorneys. 

The part of the story yet to come out is how vicious the attorneys defending archdioceses were to the plaintiffs in every city, without exception.

So much still has not come out about these crimes.
