Pell

[Anonymous]

I REALLY dislike Pell.

but even more so now I find out he said this:

"abortion is a worse moral scandal than priests sexually abusing young people",

seriously, I mean really? just wtf. there is no comparison.

agree, or disagree?

I live for the day Pell comes unstuck and his little fat friar tuck buddy Bishop Fisher. my dog has more compassion than these people.

That hasn't always been the case, has it Azure?  I remember people being strongly punished if they disagreed with any teachings.

I have been a Catholic all my life and I have never witnessed anything like that.  How long ago are we talking about?   On the other hand, I have seen people being punished for being Catholics.

It is appalling if that is what was said. I have seen it before but never as a transcript and I don't usually pay a lot of attention to he said she said stuff.

As for being a Catholic...... there is no compulsion to agree with every teaching the Church has. It is a conscience thing... it is up to the individual.

I would like to see the transcript.

I didnt doubt, Duffs. I thought your question was genuine.  The thing is though, and I dont necessarily mean you, that no matter what I say, my beliefs will be criticised.  And that's fair enough too but eventually, you kind of get sick of going over and over and over the same thing.

If I follow all the teachings of the Church, I will be criticised for being either delusional, uneducated etc etc...

If I don't then obviously that makes me a hypocrite.

I think from now on I will just keep my personal religious beliefs personal.

fair enough 🙂

I agree with the OP. Now let's see if I get a pink for that comment like last time. Sigh.
