Some Catholic scholars speaking on the resignation on KQED (including one of my thesis advisers by-the-way). No brilliant breakthroughs in thought, but gives one a bit more insight to how committed Catholics look at the issue IMHO.

She won't believe you.
Molesters look to Catholic employers because hiring is less stringent than at public schools. My college track coach (I went to a Catholic college) was molesting our top runner since she was thirteen. He went from Catholic school to Catholic school coaching girls teams. I testified against the bastard who was found guilty in a civil case. Last year he was coaching kids in Indiana. Because of a google search by some parent that turned up the court case from so many years ago, the guy was fired.

Of course she'll believe it. She knows ALL the charges are true. Doesn't change her perspective about defending the catholic church because that defense has nothing to do with pedophilia nor 'histronics' about pedophilia.
I don't expect you'll explain the real reason for this long term impassioned defense of the catholic church, now will you jennie?

I'm guessing it is the same reason my 7 year old niece flips out when I call her Disney princesses ugly.

But if Ivan the Terrible-Chipper turns out to be a Catholic Priest...I may go round the Merry-go-round a few times for Wes' sake :-)

The only reason I think the Moron church is (marginally) better than the catholic church... if you can't get your eternal truths right the first time, just tweak them as you go... revelation is a wonderful thang
http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/55930173-78/church-lds-changes-mormon.html.csp
"The Bible and the Book of Mormon teach that monogamy is God’s standard for marriage unless He declares otherwise (see 2 Samuel 12:7–8 and Jacob 2:27, 30). Following a revelation to Joseph Smith, the practice of plural marriage was instituted among Church members in the early 1840s (see section 132). From the 1860s to the 1880s, the United States government passed laws to make this religious practice illegal. These laws were eventually upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. After receiving revelation, President Wilford Woodruff issued the following Manifesto, which was accepted by the Church as authoritative and binding on October 6, 1890. This led to the end of the practice of plural marriage in the Church. "

Religious organizations can be like discriminatory country clubs...If you belong to a specific church then one has the potential to be rewarded with employment and monetary gain much like a god old boys club..When religions move in and monopolize a community , non-members suddenly become descriminated against....Rumor has it that the Mormon Church is infiltrating the eastern sierra via Mammoth Mountain and other public agencies....If true , i find this repulsive and perverse...What does the free market have to do with spiritualism and or religion....?

Seamstress,
Get a load of this course.

The last three sessions look interesting. David Kennedy worth the price of admission alone.
All I remember about Vatican II is that it ushering in the God-awful guitar mass.

I remember the guitar masses and liturgical dances. Folk group at 9:30 mass in hopes of keeping young people engaged in the church. We had such a blast in our little group. Different time and place. Quite a change from the Latin masses when I was little.
I haven't checked this thread in a while - not loving the personal accusations hurled. Must have felt my name come up!
Now to get back to practicing the music for next week's mass. I play once a month while two of our musicians are snow birding it in Phoenix. I play keyboards. The guitar playing dude clearly leftover from 1965 needs some help, but I haven't played since college. I know that the people in my church are angels as they haven't lynched me. Four months of practice can't hide the 34 year break in reading or playing music. So "SAve Your People, O Lord" from my assault on their eardrums.
Hoping for an inspired selection from the conclave.
