.. when they are often having to apologise for its atrocities? Surely it's time to disenfranchise the state from religion?

"The evil acts were carried out by evil people & had nothing to do with Catholicism or Christianity in fact they were the antithesis of it." Khandro on the previous page to this. Khandro - the vile abuses were carried out by people in Holy Orders and wearing habits and dog-collars - they were then stoutly denied for many years by a church which knew exactly what...

I’m sure all those less fortunate will be delighted to read that, Tambo.
What on earth is the point of posting that? Are you saying that thousands of others are wrong or mistaken?
Nothing you can post is going to change what the Catholic Church did to destroy the lives of thousands of women and babies. They are still trying to find the bodies of infants. Try to imagine a woman waiting to hear if the bones of her baby have been found in a cess pit in Tuam instead of your pathetic attempts to defend what can’t be defended.

Oh dear. Yes it was the church that stopped them. Have you no idea why folk were so scared to admit to an illegitimate child in a family? Have you really no idea what happened when the parish priest found out that an unmarried woman was pregnant?
Do you not know what nuns did if the married mother of a young Catholic family died?
Tambo. You must educate yourself about what went on in my country at the hands of the Catholic Church instead of trying to defend it. Do that.
Of course families should have looked after their own but you must look at why they didn’t and try to understand why they didn’t wrong though they were.

Perhaps it all says something about the mentality of the Irish, - things like this didn't happen in other catholic communities, for example the Italian Catholics, either in Italy or in the USA.

Untitled, There are 1.2 billion Catholics in this world, if a microscopically few of them are evil bad apples, it doesn't mean you have to eschew an entire 2,000 year old religion because of it as some are saying on here, using it as an excuse for their loss of faith.
Claiming that it is sufficient reason to leave the Church, is as feeble as saying, "I have discovered my baker beats his wife, so I'm giving up eating bread!" :0)

I completely agree it is not a sufficient basis to condemn the whole religion and that is important. I do think there is more than enough to condemn the church as an organisation though and plenty of catholics agree. Lots of catholics in my family don't want anything to do with the church/priesthood but still consider themselves to be catholics.
Things like this happened only in Ireland, Khandro?
