“Being Catholic is the only thing that frees a man from the degrading slavery of being a child of his age” [b]~ G.K. Chesterton[/b] [c=#BF0000]http://bit.ly/2eqjifP[/c]
Here is my contribution to a substantive conversation on the Crusades. I realize you will dismiss Professor Madden as a Catholic toadie, but perhaps someone viewing will give him the same courtesy which is given to the accusations made by Liberal Project propagandists about the Crusades (which I am not trying to whitewash --just inject a little truthniness)......
Since the liberal accusations against the Church are numerous, I am not going to go through your whole list (which is abbreviated) at this at time. But if you are seriously interested in serious discussion I will be more than happy to engage in a substantive dialogue over a period of days, weeks.....
considering that the catholic church has a bunch of pedo priests that molest children and that they knew and do nothing about it that's really a hypocrite thing to say
@unknownpoetx Yours is simply not true as a general statement. But I am suppose to accept that the church is comprised of "pedo priests who molest children" ?
@beckychandler yes it's very true. even the pope admits it. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pope-francis-apologises-to-victims-of-clerical-sexual-abuse-scandal-and-asks-for-forgiveness-9590647.html

I understand that some like it, but the abuse that went on at Aquinas College run by the christian brothers... I've spent my life trying to make it a distant memory.

But what frees a child from the slavery of being abused at the hands of their priest? Being Catholic can't do that apparently.
I have a few problems with the Catholic Church and the new pope , but the discipline of the congregation and the duty they feel towards God is refreshing .
@woundedeer I get why an S & M master and a gay man might get their knickers twisted over the Church. I am only pleading for an intelligent discourse on the subject.
