Catholic Church Fails to Behead A Single Person in 2014

[nero_bolt]

For the most intolerant and extreme religion in the world, this is a rather embarrassing statistic.

It appears that the Catholic Church, widely recognized as the most uncompromising and dogmatic among the world’s major religions ended 2014 without beheading or executing a single person.

As everyone knows, the Catholic Church is a religion of strict doctrine, ruling every aspect of each individual Catholic’s life from the Vatican with an iron fist, while at the same time relentlessly imposing its beliefs on the rest of society.

Yet for some reason the Catholic Church has had an abysmal year at the chopping block, failing to kill a single one of its billion-plus members for failing to live in strict adherence to her teachings.  On top of that, the Vatican has put to death exactly zero people from other religions for refusing to convert to Catholicism.

Even some followers of Islam, universally known as a religion of peace and tolerance, have found time on the weekends to behead a few non-believers commit mass murder.

And yet the Catholic Church, far from resembling anything having to do with peace or tolerance, has taken incompetence to a whole new level when it comes to imposing its beliefs. Not a single BEHEADING happened in 2014 in the name of the Catholic Church

2015 is a new year let’s see what happens in the name of the Catholic Church

If you want to see a real hate-fest, try the stinking thread.

What have I missed? thats one thread I dont open

Are we using Catholicism as an example to amulate?

Explain to me why the claims of Catholicism are any less ridiculous than Islamic state or the Easter Bunny?

I have noticed that you have contributed with some hateful and to the discussion irrelevant cartoons.

---

Yes of course. That's the whole tone of the thread and the kind of response it elicits.

If the cartoons are irrelevant then what's the problem?

Poor man has only had the job a short time, does he have a time machine?

I wish he did.  He is (in the main) very impressive as far as social justice is concerned.

Only time will tell if he has any real effect on what happens within the church, when you consider he is only the head of a very large organisation thats been going for a couple of thousand years and to think one person can change the practices of the thounds of church staff in a few years I believe is dreeming

[polksaladallie]

Yes, the next one might ditch all Francis' reforms, just like politicians do.  Well, the church is politics.

It was a thread where people could post articles, cartoons, memes etc about the current govt instead of starting a handful of new threads about what the govt was doing every day.  

It was never a "hatefest" as has been reported, until the holiday season when random posters turned up to abuse the regular posters, is my observation.

we live in different times.

child sex abuse was systematically

covered up across many organisations.

today, people feel they can report these

crimes and i think a church follower would

not hesitate to either contact the vatican or

go public if they felt the local church authorities

failed in their duty.

hopefully in not too distant future, followers

of other religious groups will have the freedom

to leave their religion without severe consequences.

apostasy is still punishable by death in some

religions.
