Hello,
My name is Terry, from Northern California.
I am:
* Catholic (Latin Rite)
* Conservative/Republican
* Single
* Male
* Star Trek Fan
* Classic Movie Fan
Thanks for letting me join.
You are a member of a faith who protects its priests from exposure S they expose themselves to children.
You are a vile and repugnant individual for backing the Catholics. There is a special place in hell for people like you.
You are not welcome here.
Please post your inappropriate religious persecution of other posters someplace else.
For your information, the Roman Catholic Church has paid a terrible price in lawsuits for a small fraction of 1% of priests who were accused of hurting children. I'm not a Catholic, but I happen to know they do a world of good wherever they are, and their members are good citizens in every community I've ever lived in. Catholics are generous, loving souls who build hospitals, then let everyone use them; homes for the elderly, same deal; structured schools for children who need love and discipline; free housing and food for the poor on church grounds better than state and federal standards. Their members serve diligently in the communities they live in, serving as committee persons, elected officials, plus they care for family and friends. They often love others as Christ did in their Personal Quests to walk in His footsteps with acceptance and love for other people.
Their church grounds in many communities contain gardens, fountains, and lovely flowers cared for by loving members, sisters, brothers, and priests who care that people in the community have a calm place to visit when they need to pray in some fresh air.
I hope you truly rethink your behavior in the Introductory Thread area, Retread '37, toward your fellow human beings who happen to be Roman Catholics. They have honor and love all around them. Yes, they are human, and they are working on themselves always in humility and with forgiveness more than 70 times 7.
Please consider taking a live and let live preference to newcomers to our board, particularly on introduction threads.
Regards,
