May be a diocese rule - not aware of a Vatican prohibition - but I don’t know much - ask the parish priest

Usually it’s because they’re disruptive - flash photography, for example, distracts the congregation, and people standing up in the pews trying to get the perfect angle for a video camera make better doors than windows to the people behind them.

On Youtube, there is a so called ‘preacher’ or I should say ‘deceiver’ who walked into a Catholic Mass spewing hatred of the priests and saying things about the Catholic faith. I never saw such hatred. As he walked up and down the aisle shouting passages and such, the people did the right thing. THEY SANG! The people stood up and started singing Allelujah! They ignored this fundamentalist jerk and carried on. After this aired, there were more links about the hatred people have against the Catholic faith.

This video only made me become even more faithful and more Catholic than ever. It’s as if the devil has gotten into these people.

Jesus said “It will not be easy to enter the Kingdom of Heaven” and I understand exactly what He means.

I have alot against folks who posessed the entire trust of parishioners and their children and abused and betryed that trust in the sickest and most perverse ways possible and then above all attempted to hide it. Just remember it not being easy to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven and think of what your denomination and its priests have done to so many kids for so many years. You are absolutely right about how the devil has gotten into so many people.

In the US in 1999, 70.3 percent of perpetrators of child abuse were female parents acting alone or with others. Out of an estimated 826,000 victims of child maltreatment, nation-wide, 1,100 were fatalities. Their perpetrators break down as follows:

PERPETRATOR RELATIONSHIP
31.5% Female Parent Only
10.7% Male Parent Only *
21.3% Both Parents *
16.3% Female Parent and Other
1.1% Male Parent and Other *
  • “Male parent” in that context most likely is just about anything but a biological father. That means that, acting alone or with others, female parents were responsible in 69.1 percent, and male parents in 33.1 percent of cases of fatal child maltreatment.

did you know that 44% of all statistics are made up on the spot? I’ve seen and heard every spin possible that the RCC has thrown at this atrocity after the fact of course and am left in stitches over it all. You only add to the premise.

It only goes through 2003, but it is still pretty sobering.

This is not a problem confined to the Catholic Church. It is a Christian problem, and a problem of society as a whole.
 
It was 2% of the priests over a 50 year time span, no worse than any other denomination…I am not excusing any of them, but I refuse to let people make it sound worse than it was

Google it if you don’t believe me…the church is always under attack by someone for something…we must stand up for her, and not let people try to make it worse than it is

The worst thing by far is how the church hid it for decades. I am conceding that it happens everywhere.
 
Some of the Protestant churches did the same thing, so I wouldn’t start throwing stones…We are doing our best to make it right and see it never happens again

Those were differnt times and people didn’t talk about things like that…It mean that 98% of the priest were pure, so why not concentrate on the good instead of focusing on the bad?

The church over all has done more good in the world , protected far more children than were ever SA, so why don’t you talk about the good she has done? Why not focus on the orphanges ,the schools, the hospitals she has given to the world? The people she has fed, and the sick she has cared for, and the poor she has educated

Or isn’t it as much fun for you to do that?

Filmmaker found priest ‘extraordinarily charismatic and principled’
WASHINGTON (CNS) – Filmmaker Bill Haney, who made the new documentary titled “The Price of Sugar,” said one reason he decided to make a movie on the plight of Haitian sugar-cane cutters in the Dominican Republic was Father Christopher Hartley, the British-born priest who worked for several years with the Haitians and appears throughout the film.

“I found Father Christopher an extraordinarily charismatic and principled man,” Haney said. Although “educated in the spirit of reflection and contemplation,” he added, “he was a bold leader taking real-life risks on behalf of the principles that he committed his life to.”

Another reason was “the kind of startling and stark and almost painful dichotomy between the lifestyle that the resort-dwellers were enjoying along the (Dominican) coast and the deeply, deeply troubling conditions that the sugar-cane workers were enduring just a few miles away,” said Haney, a Catholic. “It kind of reminded me of the admonition that where the last among us go, so am I.”

A third reason for the film comes from Haney’s education at Portsmouth Abbey in Portsmouth, R.I., a Benedictine-run school he attended from eighth through 12th grades while his father was teaching there.

“I grew up in a monastery,” Haney said in a Sept. 25 telephone interview with Catholic News Service from New Orleans, where he was making another film. "The stories in the media about priests in the last 10 years in the Boston area where I’m from have not been particularly heartening. When I was a boy, most of the adults I knew were priests, because my father taught at a boarding school.“I had a warm and positive feeling about that experience. So the story – a warm and compelling story – about a priest who is doing his ministry in such a self-sacrificing way was compelling to me,” he added

Do you really want to go there? I am SO tired of people making this a Catholic Church issues when the issue is with SOCIETY. It has been for YEARS. We, as a society, are going to get NO WHERE with this issue until we “fix the problem and not the blame.” I have advocated for victims of crime for years. Where do you get your information that these statistics are made up on the spot? Have you seen the typical crimes that come through the court system? I have… They aren’t all Catholic priests, not even close. You want to know who is the biggest issue when it comes to these crimes and who puts their children in the highest risks? Mothers! I have seen teachers, preachers, fire fighters, cops, coaches, doctors, mothers, fathers, grandparents etc… At least the Catholic Church is making changes in the right direction. It will be one of the safest places for our kids to be.

Thank you! It does happen everywhere. With that being admitted we will make a difference for our kids. But, as for the hiding it, well that was tyipical for that time frame.
 
Go to Leah Klein’s blog and you will see there are lots of sexual pervert rabbis too.
