Everything you posted Boomer.Which point of my OP do you disagree with?
So in other words, you got nothing.Everything you posted Boomer.
So exactly which teaching of Jesus Christ did you disagree with?
Infallibility is applicable only in matters of faith and morals. Francis talks about climate change. That's his personal opinion. As a Catholic, I don't have to believe it.
12 alleged years of Catholic School, and you didn't know this? I am getting highly skeptical of your claim. You seem to even know the basics of Catholic belief.
Wow. So you know more than nearly all historians who say Jesus existed?None.
I don't think he was God
I don't think his mom was a virgin
I kind of doubt he existed as a real person.
But yet you absolve yourself from following these teachings? Isn't that rather hypocritical?But the teachings attributed to him, I don't have much of a problem with. Too bad more Christians don't do that.
I find it comical how atheists believe in the biggest sky fairy of all; they mythical unsubstantiated global warming predictions.So you accept magic fairies in the sky with no question, but disbelieve a phenomenon with truckloads of supporting data?
Antarctic ice caps reached record ice levels for three straight years betweein 2012-15. Odd. lol.If the melting icecaps and glaciers, dying coral reefs, and changes in habitat weren't enough, I can just tell how weather has changed in my lifetime in Chicago.
If your stories are not exaggerated, that has to be the case. All of the nuns I had knew how to field the questions you say you asked with both knowledge and humor. Heard our class clowns asking similar "gotcha" type questions and none of our teachers missed a beat while answering with a smile or a wink. Never once was anyone whacked. Our nuns carried "clickers". The worst trouble we ever got in was having a nun "click" at us.Now maybe my school got the really stupid nuns..
Might have been harder if you accessed information that covered Biblical cultures, languages, histories, and Old Testament commentaries by knowledgeable Rabbis.More access to information?
Heck, I wish I had the access to critical thinking websites in the 1980's that we have now! Then kicking Catholicism to the Curb wouldn't have been NEARLY as hard for me as it was.
When your position is fantastical and without evidence, I need not rebut it. Its flaws are prima facie evident.So in other words, you got nothing.
Namecalling is rather inappropriate for someone in your position, isn't it?
Then the priests take their pick, confident that the hierarchy will protect them all the way up to the Pope.If your stories are not exaggerated, that has to be the case.

Sister walks into a class of 52 students and with a single click the room grows quiet and everyone is paying attention.
If there are more atheists, could it be that children were not educated as well as they might have been in the philosophies of religion?When your position is fantastical and without evidence, I need not rebut it. Its flaws are prima facie evident.
Not so. It is not a great habit to look at the behavior of a small minority and then broad-brush an entire group by the behavior of the minority.Then the priests take their pick, confident that the hierarchy will protect them all the way up to the Pope.
It's not the minority. The Catholic hierarchy world wide protected pedophile predator priests, and still protect them.Not so. It is not a great habit to look at the behavior of a small minority and then broad-brush an entire group by the behavior of the minority.
I've done the research. Many times. Minority.It's not the minority. The Catholic hierarchy world wide protected pedophile predator priests, and still protect them.
Research would show the huge majority of pedophiles are irreligious.I've done the research. Many times. Minority.
m-m-m-m-maybe MM"Recovering Catholic" generally means someone who couldn't follow the rules, which can be rather tough for those who aren't committed. It's all a matter of deciding you're going to do the right thing. Many aren't up to that. They want to sleep around or fornicate or masturbate or marry a divorcee, or get drunk or high, or sleep in on Sunday mornings instead of going to Mass.
by who? the pope?Research would show the huge majority of pedophiles are irreligious.
Very few in the RCC are like that. That's another reason it's the greatest organization in the history of the world.m-m-m-m-maybe MM
or, it could mean the epiphany that things celestial are merely prostituted by sorts terrestrial toward their own gains

I was a journalist at the time. The first thing I learned was that public school teachers/administrations were doing the exact same thing with much higher numbers. Further, all faiths/denominations were in the same boat, along with a number of pediatricians and psychiatrist/psychologist. It was certainly time for society to face this problem.Research would show the huge majority of pedophiles are irreligious.
