The Vatican has said that modern times bring with them modern sins (ie bioethics, drug trafficking, ecological offences, economic injustices, human use of fossil fuels etc). In my book, the biggest sin is the Catholic Church turning a blind eye to the sexual abuse of children, by evil and perverted priests. How about, Thou shall not sweep sexual abuse cases under the carpet?

Perhaps we should go back to the concept of selling indulgences as well - that was a nice racket! Mind you, the RC church doesn't exactly need the money, their coffers are absolutely bursting (can't remember the sum quoted in In God's Name but it was huge). Heaven forbid that they should actually liquidate some of their wealth and use it for charitable purposes - that sort of thing would be Christian and humane (not often the same thing!)


And speaking of In God's Name - let's not forget the Vatican's links with organised crime and the murder and subsequent cover-up of John Paul I.

As someone who thinks religion is a load of old shite - I can at least admire (with some horror) the self-proclaimed moral certainty of Islam, Judaism and increasingly Catholicism. Meanwhile the kind of touchy feely "we want to be democratic and secular and touchy feely ....oh but there is a god, he's a bit like Tony Blair" (ie doesn't believe in anything doesn't argue about anything won't take a stance on anything) shite of the Church of England is pathetic - no wonder their particular flock is deserting in droves.


Doesn't mean that the catholic church isn't a disgraceful sham full of perverts tho...

Fish wtote

The catholic church is the same as any other big business it has its perverts and deviants in full measure. The corruption within permits those sins to continue. The same with the anglicans and their leadership struggles it is inherently corrupt otherwise it would not continue on it's present path.

    • You've conflated a major incident with LTNs?  That's machavallian.  I'm impressed 😵‍💫 At the Finches fire last week there were a lot of emergency vehicles  Including the SPG.  But no cops with weapons (I used to work near where the SPG were stationed).  When there are major incidents police from other boroughs are called in with such vehicles.  I can't remember the name of the vehicles bringing cops in.    
    • Another recommendation for Oddbods. As proof of our satisfaction we've asked them to return for some more jobs, which is sign we were happy with their work
    • Most of the groceries shops in Lordship Lane have a security presence…curious thing is I and another woman recently saw a shop lifter lift and not pay for a couple of packet of steaks, veg and bottle of wine..  Literally walked Pat the tills, one member of staff and security guard despite someone else going in front by a few people and mentioning person in question! I have to say, speechless and admired their bravado - I would not have the guts and knowing my luck, if I accidentally didn’t put something tru the till despite receipt would prob get stopped! Yes, worked with families, homeless and other people who were struggling for food so I do understand why they do it.. sad when you think about it, that in this day and age, all sorts of c people need assistance and help from community in general, food banks, olio etc….
    • Just not keen to have all these  things  in my body… having said  that, thinking about Covid again as need to come to London to two hospitals for poss overnight stays.
