Catholic reguard the personal life's and the Church live of parishoners and the clergy as mutually exclusive. He may be a good Bishop in his teaching of the doctrine of the faith but his personal life is something else to be considered.

Do not judge. Just because he's a bishop does not gaurantee entry to heaven, he will be judged by his creator like all off us.

Holding him accountable and evicting him from the church will not stop his bad doings, maybe only encourage him.

It is sad and probably should be addressed in another way, but what way would be the right way religiously, would be the question.

Just remember he will be judged by a higer power than the pope in the Vatican or the value calls of individuals, and or communities in society.




I just wish that something could be done about this. I understand that outcasting him from his practice won't help, but I also think that keeping him there is even worse. If he is kept in the church than his actions need to be critized and they need to be publicly addressed.

Basically the only way to solve this dispute is for the Pope to speak about it. Which we can't possibly expect him to ever do. I don't know about solutions. I wish I did.

Unfortonately, I don't think that you can make crimes of this nature justified or accepted in any way in any form.

This type of corruption will never be forgiven by the untrusting soul. Those that are victims of this crime are often lacking trust. Just see for yourself. This is not something that can be solved over night, or even over time. This is a matter for God, as you clearly stated.

Saint hood started way back in the Old Testament.....
Saints are men who lead good lives and did everything for God.They perfected their lives through prayers and fasting....they became Saints because of 'martyredom' or because of their loveof God.....They are called for in Prayer to intercede for us.......although we do and can pray to God........we ask for their prayers for they are alive with God.....there is no death in the second death....bodily death..

Judge not and you shall not be judged....
Yes there are many priests out there that do what they want .......but it is not for us to judge....For they will be judged more harshly for being in the place they're at....
There have been many changes made within the Roman Catholic church......The reformation is one .......western Europe went through the reformation ........and the Roman Cathoilc church went along...

Being a Christian does not make one a true Christian in God's eyes.......maybe we can fool the people but we cannot fool God.....

Being Gay is considered a sin........If one cannot see this as a sin.....then one cannot be helped..
All sin is bad in God's eyes........Whether one has one or many sins it is for us to acknowledge one's fault and ask for forgiveness.
eg.......When we do wrong to anther person,we want their forgiveness......if one is feeling guilty,then one asks another friend to put a good word in for us........we go through a mediator.....we then feel it proper to face that person we wronged.......
If one cannot admit their sin, then how can one be helped?
Many people do not know they sin because it is 'sin' that has taken over ......they feel it is of no conseqeunce and therefore do not seek help.....
The vatican.....i really do not know much about .....i have read bits and pieces ,but i do know that the Roman Catholic church has ''modernized'' their church for living in the world today......
The Bible has been changed so much as to not offend certain people today.......
Why change something that is History?
God has not changed!
Therefore the words of the Bible should not be changed!
