The Catholic Church is determined to kill more people. I guess it isn't enough that their priests are raping little kids, and that a gay prostitution ring was discovered operating in the Vatican servicing bishops.
No, that's not enough for The Church, so now they've decided to give AIDS to a bunch of young people in the Philippines by blocking the distribution of condoms.
This is beyond immoral. It borders on genocide.
It's a simple fact that if the Church succeeds in this endeavor, literally thousands, possibly tens of thousands of people will die of AIDS. It's black and white. We know that healthy, happy people have sex. We know that young people can be irresponsible and impulsive and that some of them will get AIDS. And we also know that if condoms are not readily available, more people will die.
PEOPLE. WILL. DIE.
How can a church be so out of touch with reality that it will do something that it knows will result in thousands of deaths???
You might try to claim that the Catholic Church isn't responsible for these deaths since each person makes his or her own decision to have unprotected sex. How can the Church be blamed when a couple deliberately makes a dumb decision? But the exact same argument can be made for drug dealers – drug addicts make the choice to use drugs, so why should we revile the drug dealer? But we do revile the dealer because he knows that his actions will cause misery and death. And just so, we should revile the Catholic Church, its bishops, and the Pope for this insane, immoral policy.
Dear readers, if any of you are Catholics (maybe you secretly enjoy sneaking a peek into this forbidden territory), why isn't there an outcry against this? Why aren't Catholics all around the world standing up to protest this hideous policy by those old, celibate men who run your church?

ReplyDeleteEr how about we think that Jesus is God. He started the Catholic Church some 2000+ years ago. I could go on but you get the idea. I know and love my faith. Just my 2cents but you most likely never knew Gods love for you. that is something we 1st learn by the love our moms and dads have for us.
Michael Mcgreevy: So you support a decision that will spread a deadly virus and cause harm to thousands of people? If your god claims that he loves people, why would that god direct you to hurt so many others? Is it that much worse to allow others to commit a sin (sex with contraception) than to doom people to a horrible, painful death? Not to mention the stress on world health care to support all these people that will have AIDS in the future?
ReplyDeleteAnd that doesn't even get into the issue of you forcing your morality on people that probably don't believe the same things as you. It's disgusting that you can use the excuse of religion to justify causing so much harm.

ReplyDeleteThat's ignoring the issue. I'm a former Catholic, which is really the teachings of Paul, NOT JESUS!
Anyways, this is disgusting, the church really needs to get over its hangup with sex as this is endangering many people.
Michael's defense is that "Jesus is God" and that "He started the Catholic Church."
ReplyDeleteAre you saying that because the Catholic church does something it must be ok???? Cause if that is what you are saying then you claim that everything a sitting pope has ever done was a moral action in the eyes of God or Jesus (honestly I think you are confusing the two.)
Catholics who think their church isn't perfect nonetheless have some 'splaining to do. How could God's own Church get so many things, both in its long history and today, wrong? How could any of the world's One True churches get so many things wrong?
ReplyDeleteAnon - You're simply wrong. In fact while condoms aren't perfect, they are BY FAR the best protection against AIDS you can find. If you use a condom correctly, the chances of getting AIDS are very low. Telling people to not have sex is the only better way, and it's been shown to be completely ineffective, because people simply ignore the advice.
ReplyDeleteJust came by this blog whilst trying to get a more accurate figure of how many millions of innocent Christians have been tortured and murdered by the satanic, unbiblical and anti-christian catholic church. Good on you for speaking the truth, my friend. I also try to spread the truth through my blogs. Catholics are indeed very hard nuts to crack, but we must try.
ReplyDeleteActs4:12 "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
The catholic church is man-made and began formally in 321 AD. It is not and never has been Christian.
ReplyDeleteThey have been a murderous bunch since day one. The papacy is the Antichrist and mystery Babylon. Their transubstantiation of crucifying Christ daily is outrageous.
They changed the 10 commandments and worship idols. Satan claims to be the god of this earth; so does the pope - what about that. He claims who he is.
Anon – Your criticism of the Roman Catholic Church is an example of why we'll all be better off when religion is gone. To anyone who is neither "Christian" (by your definition) nor Catholic, the two are virtually indistinguishable. Most branches of Christianity have been guilty of hideous atrocities. Anyone who believes, as you do, that his brand of Christianity is somehow better than the Roman Catholic Church's brand needs to go back to school.
ReplyDeleteQuit with the old religion causes atrocities crap. You have only to watch humans loot and destroy during a riot, or steal when they think no one is looking, or turn each other in if fearful, or kill each other if they have something to gain, to know it's individual people that go along with and perform atrocities. It's also individuals that perform countless good works under the influence of religion, which you conveniently ignore. As to the world being better off without it, religion, with all its imperfect potential, offers a framework of good principles as opposed to the situational ethics of progressives and atheists who want no accountability except to themselves.
DeleteAllan - Your comment is way off base. If you read more of my writing or my book, you'll find that I'm not making the claims that you are trying to refute. On the other hand, you've ignored the main point of the article. In this SPECIFIC case, it's a virtual certainty that thousands will die or have died because of the Roman Catholic Church's political interference with condom distribution in the Philippines.
DeleteYou're also making a rather damning implication: that religious people's morals would be absent without religion. Truly moral people do good and avoid evil because it's the right thing to do.
The Catholic Church murdered tens of millions of Christians who refused to accept the Pope as god on earth.
ReplyDeleteIt's irresponsible to lump all Christians into the same category as they were victims of this brutality as well.
That beings said, the entire Ecumenical movement is sickening and any Christian that supports Catholicism is brainwashed.
If you crack open a Bible and read the NEW Testament, you will find that Jesus never endorsed this kind of behavior, rather taught to love your enemy and pray for those who persecute you. Now, I know that you'll run to the Old Testament and try to use that against Christians, but the bottom line is that Christ taught different and anyone who acts or speaks with hate is not a Christian regardless of what they claim.
George Carlin......period
ReplyDeletethe catholic church is a joke and soon it will be over for them, and it will be by the hand of god. and that will be the funniest shit that will ever happen. i hope im alive for that.
ReplyDeleteBefore I anything is stated to all catholics dont get angry with me, you can be catholic if you want I cant change that but I am Christian and the things the catholic church does is disgusting and against God's word. The church has rewritten some parts of the Bible, killed, tortured, lied, hold conspiracies, and remove documents and hide them from the world. To me that is completelt against God because God gave them no right to do so. Also the people worship the pope when he is just a man even Peter told people not to worship him because he is man. All I am saying is the church is a mockery to all the things Christ told us and God will share no mercy on them for their wrongdoings.
ReplyDeleteAre there any individual examples of murder due to catholic beliefs/ an individuals beliefs? For example someone murdered someone else because they thought it was what god wanted etc?
