Zimmerman - you say Jesus was crazy....well: Consider the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew, chapters 5-7. Does this look to you like the ravings of a lunatic? Read His deft answer to the people who wanted to catch Him in his words (Mark 12: 13-17). Observe the brilliance and subtlety of...

I got exactly what I was looking for..... If people here agreed with me I'd be very worried. Cardinal Pell wouldn't be doing his job properly. Notice the similarities between how Jesus Christ was treated, and how Church leaders are treated & perceived in society? Threatining...

Cardinal Pell is a brilliant man. He stands up for what is right and isn't afraid to do so - exactly the type of leadership we need in the Church. I have met him personally and I have read much of his work - truly a remarkable man.

I see where you're coming from buddy.....but this debate will go on forever....maybe when (God-willing) we are enjoying our eternal reward we can have a little chat about it.....we'll really have forever to talk about it! But I'll tell ya what.....I'll give a link to the Catechism of the...

I call myself a Catholic - or a Catholic Christian. Lets tackle one issue at a time....Purgatory first. Matt. 5:26,18:34; Luke 12:58-59 – Jesus teaches us, “Come to terms with your opponent or you will be handed over to the judge and thrown into prison. You will not get out until you have...

You do realise that the vast majority of child abuse occurs in the family, yes? Priests do not live with their families. Swimming coaches molest kids, teachers molest kids etc.....nothing to do with religion.

actually, i read every single post. i know what it was meant to be about, my original post fits in nicely, no? i just mentioned how hard it would be to talk with you - and suprise suprise, i was right....didnt take you long to launch into personal attacks, did it?

you knew very well that it could possibly turn into one because of your provocative title.... a title i might add which is very misleading.

"somebody like you" - meaning somebody who has a pure hatred for my Church and my beliefs, my priests, my Pope....not somebody beneath me.....infact nobody is beneath me - all are equally loved by God.

where have i preached this "holier than thou crap" ? see what i mean...i tell you i'd actually like to have a civilised discussion with you and you go and attack me straight away.... and I am Catholic because it makes sense to me and when I read the Bible and read the Catechism - it hits...

is that your only reply to my post? also its a shame that you have such a hatred for the Catholic Church because i would love to have a civilised discussion with you on this matter and any Catholic matter....but its a little difficult with somebody like you. im happy to discuss anything...

my oh my...where do i start? Firstly, I can't believe the ignorance of most of the posts I have read in these 7 pages.... Secondly, I would like to turn your attention to Professor Philip Jenkins (a non-Catholic) Prof. Philip Jenkins, a non-Catholic and Professor of History and...
