Well, we can’t let a perfectly get good holiday go unpoliticized now can we? /sarc
 
I don’t see how Easter can be used in the #MeToo movement. It seems ridiculous
 
Is that the one where Jesus is a gender fluid openly homosexual feminist?
 
“Mary Magdalene was a prostitute” goes back to at least the Middle Ages and can join the other pious tales that probably aren’t true.

That said…the idea that “Rape is evil. Sexual harassment is a huge problem. No one deserves either and those who say they were are telling the truth in the overwhelming majority of cases” is some kind of agenda and not basic human decency makes me sick.
 
The issue is innocence and not chastity, per se. A sex addicted culture does not view these as any different but takes the pagan view of chastity. The virtue of chastity is related to our dignity and our holiness which comes as an image of God cteated male and female. Pagan views of chastity identify sex as a tool of power and abuse. How can you avoid a “rape culture” when this is the distorted view of the gift of sexuality so directly coupled to new life?
So, the destruction of innocence by malevolent evil is perhaps the chain rooted in both the student trying to procure better grades by trafficking sex with a professor and molestation by a priest. How anyone can see college sex abuse as the same problem as a trusted guardian molesting an innocent child is beyond my comprehension. Did I lose you on that?
My statements regarding Soros are because I am feeling Liberace-ated by wishing my brother George were here. Here is the ark of Noah, the bosom of Abraham, the bark of Peter as family so closely related they seem almost like a single person; Mary the Mother of God. Yet another Mary from The Resurrection and willing to bring all of mankind to reconciliation with her Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ. Of course, one may have to be as close as family with George Soros to make heads or tails of my comments intended to lure the man in to where he can be loved. Into the church founded by Jesue, The Messias and saviour of the world.
Mary Magdalene who had seven demons cast out of her is poorly understood by Protestants because they neglect to understand Tobit as Scripture, as canon. The events in Tobit’s life may make who Mary Magdalene was, greatly tormented by the ruler of this world, a little easier to understand. Those seven demons cast out should not be wandering the desert, as the power of Christ is efficacious in a way that the Old Covenant people did not know. Jesus has fulfilled the law.
I hope that brings the matter of money and power that I posed better aligned with the implementation of sex as strictly a worldly concern. Sex outside of marriage is immoral because marriage is a Sacrament established by God from the beginning of the world.

You’re making assumptions about the culpability of people who get assaulted. That’s called victim-blaming.
 
A lot of us are skeptical because accusations of sexual assault of public figures tend to be something resembling a shark feeding frenzy. And those accusations tend to be from way back and almost never recent.
 
Makes me think of those “lost gospel uncovered” or “was Jesus married to Mary Magdalene?” tabloids.
 
So you see a college age person purposeful trafficking in sex, prostitution for acquiring a better grade, the same as sexual molestation of a child?
This because of the victim mentality of those who see sex as the legal tender for acquiring goods?
You lost me long ago. I was responding to a post which linked these two vastly different situations as if they were equivalent cases. You see a legal adult prostituting him or herself as the same as the rape of a child? No, I do not see how these are equal.

Apparently college girls who decide to earn their grades on their backs instead of with their books are now victims. You learn something new every day.
 
People who are famous or who are in Fortune 500 companies are in court a lot for one reason or another.
 
That’s not the uncharitable language used. Stop taking things out of context to support ideaology.
 
Well, the secular world and even some who identify as Christians don’t believe in sin and the nature of it nor much about Christianity itself so you don’t really expect much theological knowledge from them.
It demonstrates how illiterate much of the media is when it comes to Christianity. The depth of their ‘knowledge’ is Jesus was a hippie who would permit anything, the Bible is just some book that’s not that important, and cathedrals look nice. They should do more research but they don’t think they need to. Once again, America is not a Christian nation.

I’m saying that the Me Too movement isn’t about prostitution, but keep misreading me.
