"...as institutionalised paedophilia, World domination, child sacrifice and all that juicy stuff. "
... you know the truth..
accept it and move on.
Yes Emma, i DO know the truth...and that isn't it..
So WHAT is the truth, my friend.??
Well for the paedophilia, it's not a case of being a priest makes you a paedo, it's being a paedo that encourages them to become priests, it's one of the few jobs around where you are forbidden to get married or have a girlfriend. Can you think of a better hiding place, if your urges run that way??? Right through it's history, the Catholic Church has been a refuge for men (and women) who, for a number of reasons, didn't want, or couldn't cope with the normal marriage/kids/family expectations of society. Infertile women, who'd never be married, or only to a elderly widower, weak or sickly men, who couldn't fight in wars or for 'honour', men who preferred men, or young boys. Families used to dump disabled children at monasteries or convents rather than care for them. The list is very long.
For the World Domination story. It always ties the Church to the Freemasons (as do some of the child sacrifice stories). In truth, there are only 2 groups of people who are NOT permitted to join the Masons or their associated groups- atheists and Catholics.
And the penalty from the Church side for being a mason is instant, automatic excommunication, and that's one of the few reasons left today to be excommunicated.
The other child sacrifice reasons given are Black Masses or some other kind of Devil worship....and that comes mostly from the Lutherans and the Evangelist Christian churches..purely as an attempt at bad press..
