At Long Last the Catholic Church Must Be Destroyed

[Joanne98]

For OpEdNews: Gregory Paul - Writer

As the Nathan character said in The Searchers, that tears it. The last shred of the Catholic claim to being an ethical institution has been eliminated by the cruel perfidy of its clerics. It is time for all decent people to demand that the institution no longer exist as an organized entity, and for all upright people who belong to the body to leave in disgust. It is not just the pedophile scandal. It is because core Catholic doctrine is outright evil. Here's why.

Although he may no linger be sheltered from secular prosecution, a Catholic man who makes his living as a priest can bugger all the boys he wants and he will not receive the worst retribution the church can deliver, excommunication. Same for bishops have who engaged in racketeering by covering for pedophile clerics. Sister Margaret McBride is a law abiding Catholic woman who works at the Catholic St. Joseph's Hospital in Arizona. A patient with a heart condition too grave for her to be moved was informed that her early term pregnancy was going to be 100% fatal for her and the fetus. McBride exhibited sufficient decency and basic ethics to assist the woman in saving her life via an abortion. The caring nun who did her duty as a medical caretaker has been excommunicated by the man organization for saving the life of a fellow human being ( click here).

The medical ethics director of the Diocese of Phoenix stated that McBride "consented in the murder of an unborn child. There are some situations where the mother may in fact die along with her child. But -- and this is the Catholic perspective you can't do evil to do good. The end does not justify the means" -- we'll get back to that particular example of shallow cynical hypocrisy later.

The Catholic clergy that protects its own men is abusing the women. It is the long-term aim of the Papacy to increase the abuse by making it ever more difficult to obtain an abortion until it is impossible (info here). Until the mid 1800s early term abortion was tolerated. In the USA a current directive supposedly allows abortion to save the life of the mother, but the action of the Arizona bishop indicates this is merely a transitory phase. What the Vatican really wants is already in force in El Salvador, where the church backed a total ban on abortion with absolutely no exceptions. There women are being prosecuted and jailed for performing abortions on themselves after they show up for emergency medical care following their desperate acts (click here). The need for this hard-line policy is logical Catholic theology wise the mother has been baptized and will arrive in heaven, because fetus has not been so graced it must have priority. Catholic doctrine is so execrable that it demands that once a woman is pregnant she is along for the ride even it means her death (http://www.catholic.com/library/Abortion.asp). If she got that way by being raped, that's just too bad. It is in no way an exaggeration to state that that is the barbaric, pitiless world these man brutes want to bring to us here and abroad.

To force a person to undergo death when a medical procedure that does not increase the probability of the death of another can cure the problem is outright murder. To prevent a women who needs an abortion to save her life when failing to perform the abortion will not save the life of the unborn is premeditated homicide. Ergo, the Catholic Church is not consistently prolife as it boasts, it is as antilife as is possible under a particular circumstance. Specifically for sexually mature women. There is no situation that a modern man or child can get into that demands his death (the divine organization no longer being involved in exterminating atheists, heretics, witches, Jews and Muslims). The ongoing war on women is sheer evil.

1. they clearly have the right to think the left persecutes them it appears

[BrklynLiberal]

2. good luck with that campaign. Too much vested interest....

But I sure as hell would not mind if it happened.

[JuniperLea]

3. Why stop with the Catholics?

I can't think of one religion that hasn't caused harm.

[Scuba]

6. +1

4. If Catholics want to uphold the notion that abortion is wrong, then they need to

Look into the very highly polluted places where most pregnant women work.

Copy toner, fax machine toner, dangerous levels of chems from perfumes, and in the case of places like paper mills and computer chip "clean rooms" chemicals that cause such record numbers of spontaneous abortions (ie miscarriage) that it is not unusual for a fertility specialist to explain to women patients who work in such places that they should leave their employment in the semiconductor industry so the pregnancies they can have will come to fruition instead of being flushed out within the first five to six weeks by their toxic work environment.

I have no idea why there is no penalty to the many "Fine Christian" business owners who own these polluted places, in terms of all the miscarriages, that is, spontaneous abortions that are caused, but the poor sixteen year old who doesn't want to ruin her life is castigated with visions of life in Hell for ever on account of her chosing abortion.

On the one hand, you have thousands of miscarriages caused by greed, and on the other you have one isolated case of abortion. Seems strange that the latter is such a serious moral offense, while the business-caused miscarriages by the tens of thousands is A-okay.

5. Abortion is only wrong if the woman decides it's her best option

Men who terminate pregnancies by putting pregnant women into toxic situations are only doing god's work.

However, if that woman decides she doesn't want to risk her life having a child she doesn't want to raise, that's pure evil.

Honestly, any woman who still goes to that church and contributes to it needs her screws tightened. Honestly, with the option of the Anglican church, nearly the same thing but without all the woman hating Roman baggage, why stay?

[JuniperLea]

8. Baggage...

It's why they stay. The loading of baggage begins very early in the life of a Catholic.

I've known deeply rooted families to up and leave a community they've been in for generations because a youngster got pregnant out of wedlock... I've known severely Catholic families to disown a beautiful son because he married someone they felt he shouldn't marry... I've known whole, very large families to come unglued because one son left the seminary. These are otherwise intelligent, honest, hard working, loving families. The baggage wins every time.

[Warpy]

9. My parents had all that baggage and more

but shed it by the time they died. I was shocked, but it does happen.

[JuniperLea]

10. The ex-seminarian is a good friend of mine...

He claims to now be Atheist... but I see him struggle daily to rid himself of the bondage of the baggage. I hope to see him free of it once and for all! Thanks for the info... I'll not give up hope.

[Oldtimeralso]

14. Does that mean that the young teen driver...

that hit my neighbors van and caused it to roll on side and the neighbor's miscarriage 4 hours later should be charged with murder or negligent homicide?

[truedelphi]

15. The young teen driver had an accident.

That it why these events are called an accident.

I believe the law doesn't treat a developing fetus as a person. Though every so often, in some jurisdictions, during events like armed robbery or assault, someone may be charged with murder.

The Church is not concerned with law. The Church is quite willing to tell you that if as a woman you are gang banged by a group of crazed gansta's, and you get pregnant, better that you drop out of college and raise this baby on welfare, rather than consider taking the morning after pill and destroying several small particles of flesh.

So I was/am discussing the Church's view of morality. Whether you are able to remain a Catholic and receive Communion or face being "excommunicated." Some politicians have been "excommunicated" just for being Pro choice.

And my condolences to your neighbor. What an awful and sorry thing to have happen to her.

7. Exterminationist hate speech. Uncle Joe would be proud.

:puke:

[Tutankhamun]

11. Catholic much?

[Jim Sagle]

12. Actually, no.

Too much polarization can be a bad thing.

[Tutankhamun]

13. Glad to hear it actually.
