If we had one media source that was true, that was honest, that was fair, they would be blowing away the non stop, unlimited scandals CNN and the rest of the lot have going on from day way, making what any other party does, pale in comparison. The problem is, nobody is stepping up to the plate to do it. I am very careful where I get my news from, I then have to still filter through the tripe to get at the truth regardless.
Lets take the present situation into context with the Pope, and tell me what any of you would have done differently, honestly, he really did do the right thing.
We have some bad priests being exposed for what they are, sick, warped creatures absolutely not worthy of wearing their garb, or holding their title, sent from the devil himself. These in turn get exposed and this is a good thing right? No, it’s not, it means that opportunists are going to also accuse innocent ones as well, partially for personal fiscal gain, partially because the individuals hate the church. The guilty and the innocent are immediately suspended, the ones that are not guilty are ruined just as much as the ones that are. This is why you don’t want to let this stuff reach public scrutiny. Now, adding onto this one, case in point with Michael Jackson, where he was guilty, but there were people that came out of the wood work, just to get their cut of the pie, taking him into court for false accusations from others, that he was proven not guilty, the same thing goes on with the guilty priests as well.
You’ll notice none of them cover the abuses in comparison with secular society, I know for a fact, the majority, “I mean majority”, of all sexual abuse cases are perpetrated by family members, not outside parties, their own family, and this is a much larger problem, yet it’s not being covered. Why is that, it’s because these same family members are patronizing the news sources, giving them money and attention, the sources dare not rock that boat and do the right thing upon reporting accurate, very much necessary information, that would result in a loss of revenue.
I suspect, eventually, the church will set up a sting operation just to prove how unreliable the news sources are, and after exposing them for what they are, we as a population will open our eyes to the truth. There are so many things that go on, none of us are privy to, it’s impossible to report the truth publicly since they don’t have the full truth.
The Pope made his decisions to protect good priests, bottom line, and any one of us in his same position would make the same decision. So, yeah, he’s a decent fellow, he’s doing a job none of us want to do, and he’s doing it the best way he can. We are required to support him at all times, anything short of this, we should take a hard look at ourselves and outside of throwing stones, when we ourselves have fallen short, see where our loyalties lie, with the church or with the media…
