Im with the group in here who findS the slamming of the catholics perplexing.
Catholicism is not for everyone. It is a special club with rules. Like many clubs. Like many religions.
No one forces you to join the club. If you do not agree with the rules of the club - then there is a slightly different club that would entertain your views. Why does a club have to change its rules for the sake of an individual.
I suspect that those complaining don't really wanna join any club....but take the opportunity to find a flaw or too to extricate themselves from the catholic club - then yell through the back window how bad it it.
Don't join. No one is forcing you to join.
Centuries ago...the King of England wanted to divorce his wife. The Catholic Church said no!! He went about starting his own religion...changed a few rules....and all was good. Was he right? Was the church right? Does it matter? If your of the persuasion that DIVORCE is OK..from a religious perspective, there is now a religion..... with all the attributes of Catholicism....except divorce is allowed. MY thought is "WHY not join that group, instead of slamming the Catholics."
And as for molesting. Are these people truly catholic?....or religious for that matter? Or are they just perverted criminals who cloak themselves in religion...or as a boyscout leader...or hockey coach...to gain trust.
They need to be dumped.!!! And sent to jail!
And as for discrimination. One must go back to our founding Fathers of the day...who in the Constitution, allowed for the Catholic and Protestant schools. We could have easily been a Jewish State..or Muslim State..or whatever at Confederation, but as the rules of the day prevailed...and we were a member of the Commonwealth, with the predominantly dual religions....the country was established as such!
It is what it is...In the Constitution....and legal for the Catholic schools to be here hiring Cathloic teachers. I suspect Israel hires Jewish people ONLY for its religious schools. And I suspect it would be hard for a Western Anglican to get a job teaching in a Pakistani religious school. It is what it is boys!!!
