Which is more offensive? Which is more deserving of a Christian’s disgust and damnation?

An artist puts a penis on a poster of Jesus and on a symbol of the Christian cross. A priest puts a penis inside the mouth and vagina of a 17-year-old girl.


In the first case, the "conservative Catholics...were furious. They wanted heads to roll — at least Mideo’s [the artist] — and heads to resign — whoever was in charge of displaying Mideo’s blasphemy."

For the second case, what the priest [Fr. Raul Cabonce of St. Anne Parish in Tubay, Agusan del Norte.] "got was a transfer to a different diocese, far away from his former servant and sexual object, safe and comfy in a Bishop’s palace." SO THAT HE CAN CONTINUE TO RAPE OTHERS...

Which is more offensive? Which is more deserving of a Christian’s disgust and damnation?

What next?

"Many psychologists, many psychiatrists, have demonstrated that there is no relationship between celibacy and pedophilia but many others have demonstrated, I was told recently, that there is a relationship between homosexuality and pedophilia. That is true. That is the problem. - Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone" [source]

What a load of sh*t! Can it be more wrong than this?

1. It is morally corrupted to deny justice to the victims. It is morally corrupted to cover up the horrible deeds that have been done to children. It is morally corrupted to abuse the trust placed up these priests who have committed crime against children. Oops, they do it all the time, indoctrinating young minds. Molesting is another small step!

2. It is factually wrong. Salon's news offers this link. I think there are certainly more research on that.

Kalumburu’s struggle for a better future

This is the example of bad thing done by a church.

Kalumburu is a small aboriginal town, of about 500 people, formerly a Catholic mission.
the Benedictine order which settled there more than a century ago ruled like colonial administrators until the Federal Government finally forced them to relinquish control in the early 1980s. The mission is now a parish under the auspices of the Bishop of Broome.


Recently as the community grows, it went out of land for housing.
most of the land beyond the town boundaries is flood prone for many months of the year.

Except that is for a huge tract of high ground just across the road from the community, over which the Catholic Church has freehold and leasehold title.

The Church secured those titles when the mission finally surrendered management of the community in the early 1980s.

...

That land, one, belongs to the Indigenous people and should be handed back to them freehold.

But number two, the biggest argument and the strongest argument was the fact that during the wet season, Kalumburu is waterlogged or water locked, if you like, and the only land that is available for Kalumburu to expand is that land that the Catholic mission, Catholic Church, believes is theirs.


The community tried to contact the Bishop of Broome, but he refused to respond nor talk to the community.

More bad things done by the church in the transcript of the show.
