As the news
continues to break about child abuse and genocide around the world, people are
dividing into two camps. There are those
who are angry and want something done and those who wish to ignore it all.
The abuse of
children is sadly not unique to the Catholic Church, as issues have been
exposed in children’s homes where those in powerful situations preyed on
children, who went unbelieved.
Unwanted children
without parents and a normal home, were considered fair game to the paedophiles,
who got away with it for many years.
The abused
children grew up predictably into damaged adults and without treatment will
remain so all their lives. Sadly, these
dysfunctional souls try to lead normal family lives, but are unable to do so.
They end up with
relationship problems, which they pass on to the children, who in turn cause
problems themselves and so the line of suffering and misery is passed down from
generation to generation.
All this began by
thoughtless selfish acts that were covered up and the perpetrators so often got
away with it. Their standing was thought
to be more important than that of an innocent child.
Those who covered
up are equally guilty and all must pay the piper. In the Catholic Church, these people acted as
though their institution was more important than Divine Law.
The confessional
is a question of man judging man and that can never be condoned. If priests had a direct line to ‘God’ as they
claim, we should be able to see it through their actions.
There are many
people that are very angry now, both inside and outside the Catholic
Church. There are a lot of words flying
about, but little or no action appears to be done.
The Pope apparently
prayed recently for forgiveness for his Church.
It is not the fabric of this institution that needs to seek forgiveness,
but those who are running it from the very bottom to the very top.
It is a
simplistic ploy to expect people to believe that the institution is the more
important as it carries on from century to century, but it can make no changes
without the people who run it.
They may come,
and they may go, but their moral attitude and outrageous behaviour is reflected
by their group soul under the umbrella of that organisation.
Through the threats
of Hell and Damnation, they appear to keep their congregations in line, but why
don’t the same standards that they preach apply to them?
Spiritual Law
clearly says that we all reap what we sow.
The Master Jesus taught us this.
Sadly, his words and teaching have been largely expunged from the dogma
of the Catholic Church.
As with all
religions, they are manmade and are for the use of man and woman alone. Where are the teachings that prepare us for
our passing into the world beyond this one?
The Master Jesus demonstrated
all of this by rising in three days and appearing to those who loved him, as
well as those who needed to change their way of life.
Genocide is the
murder of whole nations or ethnic groups and defies the Laws of God, but
Mankind seems to still tolerate it.
