Pope Francis seeks forgiveness in church sex abuse scandal

You will be Judged how you have judged.

Francis is forgiven as is the church and no harm will come to those who confess their sins, that it may be assured that they are not placed in a position of temptation again. May the Spirit of the God of Love and Peace come into them to release them from their desires.

God bless you Francis and God bless the Church.

Don't know why, be this word came to mind afterwards.


hypocrisy
[hi-pok-ruh-see]
noun, plural hypocrisies.
1.
a pretense of having a virtuous character, moral or religious beliefs or principles, etc., that one does not really possess.
2.
a pretense of having some desirable or publicly approved attitude.
3.
an act or instance of hypocrisy.

Hypocrisy?

Name ONE person who Francis did not offer forgiveness to after a confession.

Fair enough.

I welcome judgement.

I doubt these pedos do.

People have been using this church so that they could scapegoat their horrendous behavior for centuries.

Fuck that.

These pedophiles are a scourge against humanity, as are all those who justify or forgive them.

If you believe that there is a god, a better place upon death, then shooting them between the eyes will be a reward, not a punishment.

If you DON"T believe there is a god, a better place upon death, then you are a lying fucking enabler who thinks it's okay to prey on children, and you should be lined up with the pedos.

their tradition is turned on it's head
now the leader
is asking the laymen to forgive him

you can't absolve guilt by "forgiving"
the person will still have to undergo the punishment
God forgives
but justice will still be served

What kind of punishment would you like?

You do not know me.

You, are correct.:)

Oh, to be standing on that Great Judgement Day of our God and Savior.

See if the Lord will forgive these evil scum. "Whosoever harms a hair on one of these little ones heads may as well tie a millstone around their neck and jump into the sea...".

a priest who abuses children
should have the same sentence
as any other person who abuses children
instead of being moved to avoid the punishment

in order to be forgiven
they must admit they did wrong
i think the problem is:
they don't think they did wrong

And I will take that into account when I review the Nations and each of it's citizens who supported those nations.

I will take into account the affects of war and poverty.

I will take into account the racism, classism, and absolute mind fuckery that goes on in the dark.

I will take into account every harsh word spoken on these forums, printed in paper, and shouted from the streets.

I will look into YOUR inner most being.

And ALL will be judged accordingly.

Watch.

Now who the fuck is spotless enough to stand in Judgement you pit of Vipers!

And whosoever shall cause to stumble one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all."

so, playing god
you think forums are worse than the MSM?

the abusers thought they were spotless
and giving a "gift" to the children

You ask "who is spotless enough....." and I answer You. The Bible states that "we are righteous unto God..." once we are saved by Christ Jesus. You can believe that or not, who cares what You believe.

if the priests had been washed from their sin
they would not have sinned against children
they must not believe the gospel

why now? Because everyone knows.

this is infantile
like being caught with your hand in the cookie jar

Matthew 25: 45 He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ 46 Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.

Do criminal laws apply equally ? jail em all, then we will know who they are and can monitor them in the future.

I am fearful to introduce my children to the church.

I, personally, would like to see them anally raped by giants or 5 times their size in a public square and then shot between the eyes to be judged and forgiven by their creator who allowed their monstrous selves to exist in the first place.

We have been warning you idiots for how many hundreds of years? And you still joined the legion.

If you advocate the forgiveness of child predators, I know enough.

Catholicism has nothing to do with Christianity. Only a gr 10 scholar will tell you so

"Francis became Pope in March 2013. While critics have said he should have met with victims earlier, Francis has said he believes the Church has been unfairly attacked."

Well ... I believe that every priest who harmed a child should be in jail. To say the least. Once that happens I will work on my feelings of forgiveness.
My forgiveness does not help the children who suffered. Actually I do not want to forgive them. I pity them because my judgement of them is nothing compared to God's.

How long has this gone on and it's just now being addressed? Why now?

Matthew 18
6 If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
