4% of Catholic Clergy were involved in sexual abuse. What is the rate of sexual abuse in Protestant churches? 44% of U.S. Protestants who attend church have been victims of sexual misconduct, though not always directly tied to the church (Earls, 2019). With some exceptions, most research has focused on sexual abuse within the Roman Catholic Church.Jan 2, 2023. [I cut & pasted this data from 2 different sources.]

Whose a*********n matters most? You seem to want to cast all your angst and attention on the Roman Church but this crap is everywhere and it's everywhere today because Democrats have sanctioned, encouraged, abetted & promoted, aberrant sexual behavior.

Vietnam drove many homosexuals into Roman Seminaries because they believed, wrongly, that being a priest would curb their unnatural desires and also provide a legitimate school deferment. I expect the same happned in Protestant seminaries & Bible colleges.

You're absolutely 110% correct. Jesus will not punish anyone because they sin but because they do not repent and confess. To sin and seek forgiveness is to be human. To sin and not confess is to be of the demons. Because we sin everyday, we need to confess everyday. We include those sins we don't know we committed and those we cannot remember yet acknowledge they exist.

Jesus said nothing of the sort.

He didn't need to, it was always understood. Still is, just not amongst those, like you, striving to justify the outrageous, unnatural and prohibited act of sodomy.

Take heed. If you die an unrepentant homosexual you have no chance for heaven. If I die an unrepentant sinner, neither do I. You engage in wilful ignorance and denial of sin, also you're in a state of supine ignorance and your arrogance in justifying your perversion don't mean squat..

No, but Jesus addressed homosexuality and t*********rism in two sentences:

And [Jesus] answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh… Matthew 19:4-6

IOW, God created ONLY two sexes… male and female. And "at the beginning 'made them male and female', and for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh" – not a man and a man or a woman and a woman but A MAN AND A WOMAN!

Romans 1:24-32
24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25Who changed the t***h of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30Backbiters, h**ers of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Uh-huh. Paul also said people shouldn’t get married unless they were super horny because Jesus was due back any moment. He also said women should keep their mouths shut in church.

Being sorry for how I was born, and looking at a life of solitary loneliness on the outside chance that’s what God wants is stupid and masochistic. Would it make God happier if I starved myself or committed suicide?

kemmer

Being sorry for how I was born is stupid. You make God sound like a crotchety old woman.

German Cardinal Gregory Mueller told an Italian newspaper that German bishops authorizing a rite for blessing monogamous gay coulples is a blasphemy and it’s impossible God would bless such couples.
He demanded the pope punish the German bishops. Like that would ever happen!
A man after your own black heart.

Doesn’t matter what you think!
God said…
Deal with it!

What a pity that you were born on a different planet.
We earthlings are not born twisted! But we do learn to be, some of us anyway.

The pope won’t be the one punishing the perverted bishops, but they will suffer for their actions!

It's always some fabricated phony excuse you give yourself every damn time. You would never die as a result of never having sex. You certainly will experience the very worst kind of death caused by your intentional sexual perversion, death of soul. That you were born a homosexual is not true. It's another excuse. Starve yourself, commit suicide if you can't insert your penis in another man's anus. Do you believe that nonsense? You and your sex partner do not love one another. You've confused mutual masturbation with an act of love. Sincere, genuine Godly love does not engage in sin and then call it love. Sincere, genuine Godly love cares for and protects the soul of a beloved. You have affection based on perverted sex but it can never be called love.
