"I came to carry out the struggle, not to kill people. Even now, and you can
look at me: am I a savage person? My conscience is clear."

This is not an apology. "The document said the church was holy and

sin, but that its members have sinned through the ages."
4) The church is always innocent, but there may be some sinners in the
church. So even if the church officially approved of evil activities,
it
is
the people of the church who are sinners. The church can never sin.
So where is the apology that you claim exists for the inquisition and
slavery?
Let's see... "For all have sinned..." That's right, every Catholic in the
Church from the top on down, every living human being for that matter,
falls
short of perfection. If you want to inspect the Church for flaws in the
light of the utter perfection of God, yes, you will find quite a few.
However, you don't believe in God, therefore you can't believe in
perfection
either. That makes your criticism of the Church (especially considering
the
effort you put into it) somewhat hypocritical.
You see, you're crossing the line between ligitimate criticism (which I'm
not denying that there is room for) and vain rationalizing...
You are avoiding the question. You claimed that the Catholic church
apologized for the inquisition and slavery, and I asked when did they
apologize? I do not see an apology in this document from the Vatican.
3) They falsely blamed Hitler's holocaust on Hitler being a Pagan when
the
truth is that he was a Catholic whose hatred of the Jews was fueled by
the
Vatican and other Christian religions.
See? You'll cling to the fact that Hitler was Catholic right down to the
nubs of your fingernails. Fact is, the guy was deranged, and he learned
anti-Semitism in the gutters of Vienna, not from Catechism.
The Catholic church was a major instigator of anti-Semitism in Europe.
Hitler was a Catholic and was never excommunicated by the Church. The
Vatican has also admitted that it has unfairly condemned the Jews. The
Vatican is also lying through it teeth when it claims that Hitler was a
pagan. You need to read some history and stop believing the lies of the
Vatican.
There is more about Hitler at my web page
http://www.evilbible.com/hitler_was_christian.htm
2) They never apologized for the approval of slavery that the church has
provided many times
And again... I remember going over this issue before. The Church expressly
FORBADE slavery time and time again, but you want to ignore that fact and
focus on a few vague references that can be misconstrued as tacit
approval.
We did go over this before. The Vatican has explicitly approved of slavery
and has also explicitly disapproved of slavery. You are lying when you
claim there are only "a few vague references that can be misconstrued as
tacit approval." But I guess you figure that if the Vatican can lie, you
can too.
See Page 14 in the following link:

Gregory I, Exposito in Librum B. Job, c 600: "All men are equal by nature
but.a hidden dispensation of providence has arranged a hierarchy of merit
and rulership, in that the differences between classes of men have arisen as
a result of sin and are ordained by divine justice."
Medieval Church
Nicholas V, Dum Diversas, 1452/54: "We grant you [Kings of Spain and
Portugal] by these present documents, with our Apostolic authority, full and
free permission to invade, search out, capture, and subjugate the Saracens
and pagans and any other unbelievers and enemies of Christ wherever they may
be, as well as their kingdoms, duchies, counties, principalities, and other
property.and to reduce their persons into perpetual slavery."
Counter-Reformation
Paul III, Motu Proprio, 1548: "Each and every person of either sex, whether
Roman or non-Roman, whether secular or clerical.may freely and lawfully buy
and sell publicly any slaves whatsoever of either sex.and publicly hold them
as slaves and make use of their work, and compel them to do the work
assigned to them.Slaves who flee to the Capitol and appeal for their liberty
shall in no wise be freed from the bondage of their servitude, but.shall be
returned in slavery to their owners and if it seems proper.punished as
runaways."
Anyhow, you should hold your 'righteous light' up to other institutions to
see how they compare, and maybe yourself, too.
Let me try a little bit of self examination:
Me | Vatican

1) Did I ever approve of Slavery? No. |
Yes
2) Did I ever say the Jews were evil? No. |
Yes
3) Did I ever kill people for not believing the way I do? No. | Yes

Essentially, the belief that servitude can be considered a natural and happy

Aristotle to Aquinas.

From a Bull of Crusade. A declaration of war, and a call for Christiandom to
stand up and defend it's very existance. War is hell, especially in the dark
ages. I don't think it was limited to Spain and Portugal, either.

Paul III was referring to prisoners of war, mainly Turks, and unfortunatly,
there was no Geneva convention back then. Paul III by the way, was the
author of 'Sublimis Deus' which condemns slavery. Sample:
"Therefore, We, . . . noting that the Indians themselves indeed are true men
and are not only capable of the Christian faith, but, as has been made known
to us, promptly hasten to the faith' and wishing to provide suitable
remedies for them, by our Apostolic Authority decree and declare by these
present letters that the same Indians and all other peoples-even though they
are outside the faith-who shall hereafter come to the knowledge of
Christians have not been deprived or should not be deprived of their liberty
or of their possessions. Rather they are to be able to use and enjoy this
liberty and this ownership of property freely and licitly, and are not to be
reduced to slavery, and that whatever happens to the contrary is to be
considered null and void. These same Indians and other peoples are to be
invited to the said faith in Christ by preaching and the example of a good
life."
Obviously, Paul III condemned the forced servitude of Africans and Native
Americans. His teaching was continued by Gregory XIV in 1591 and by Urban
VIII in 1639. Urban, in his document 'Commissum Nobis', referred to the
teaching of Paul III. This official stand against slavery was repeated in
1686, by Innocent XI, and by Benedict XIV, in his 'Immensa Pastorum', in
1741. Pius VII at the Congress of Vienna in 1815 insured that the victors in
the Napoleanic wars rembered that slavery was not permissable.

Well, I suppose that you can claim that the Church approved of indentured

people because of their race or faith? Never.
2) Did I ever say the Jews were evil? No. |
Yes
Ha! The Jews believe in the same 'evil' old testament as the Christians do.
And by your logic, that makes them evil, too. When are you going to add a

Why not just condemn all forms of slavery, of all races? Obviously they
didn't because they approved of some forms of slavery.

You lie! I'm not surprised. Slavery is slavery. Look up the definition in
a dictionary. The Vatican approved of slavery and you lied about it. Go to
hell. Go straight to hell. Do not collect $200.

Actually, people of Jewish descent ("Jews" as a race, not a religion) are
one of the most atheistic group of people in the world. And I never met
anyone who actually believes the Old Testament is literally true. Many
people claim that it is, but they really don't believe it.
3) Did I ever kill people for not believing the way I do? No.

Thank you Pastor Ed. But, the Popes flat out condemned it many times, except

Catholics don't believe that it's literally true, but you pick on us. I'm

So what? The pope is explicitly endorsing slavery here, which you claim the
church never did. Where are the great christian principles here?
Paul III, Motu Proprio, 1548: "Each and every person of either sex,
whether
Roman or non-Roman, whether secular or clerical.may freely and lawfully
buy
and sell publicly any slaves whatsoever of either sex.and publicly hold
them

runaways."
Paul III was referring to prisoners of war, mainly Turks, and unfortunatly,
there was no Geneva convention back then.
Exactly, the church wasn't enlightened by secular humanism at that time, so
its policies were barbaric.
Paul III by the way, was the
author of 'Sublimis Deus' which condemns slavery. Sample:
"Therefore, We, . . . noting that the Indians themselves indeed are true men
and are not only capable of the Christian faith, but, as has been made known
to us, promptly hasten to the faith' and wishing to provide suitable
remedies for them, by our Apostolic Authority decree and declare by these
present letters that the same Indians and all other peoples-even though they
are outside the faith-who shall hereafter come to the knowledge of
Christians have not been deprived or should not be deprived of their liberty
or of their possessions. Rather they are to be able to use and enjoy this
liberty and this ownership of property freely and licitly, and are not to be
reduced to slavery, and that whatever happens to the contrary is to be
considered null and void. These same Indians and other peoples are to be
invited to the said faith in Christ by preaching and the example of a good
life."
Obviously, Paul III condemned the forced servitude of Africans and Native
Americans.
While ordering slavery for saracens. So, we can agree that he was not
opposed to slavery in principle and he was inconsistent in his application
of morality. Situational ethics at its worst.
His teaching was continued by Gregory XIV in 1591 and by Urban
VIII in 1639. Urban, in his document 'Commissum Nobis', referred to the
teaching of Paul III. This official stand against slavery was repeated in
1686, by Innocent XI, and by Benedict XIV, in his 'Immensa Pastorum', in
1741. Pius VII at the Congress of Vienna in 1815 insured that the victors in
the Napoleanic wars rembered that slavery was not permissable.
Again, these were not condemnation of slavery in general but were
particular situations. Here's a little quiz: Who was the first pope to
declare that slavery was an intrinsic evil, always and everywhere wrong?
I'll give you a hint: that pope is still alive.
Let me try a little bit of self examination:
Me | Vatican
----------------------
1) Did I ever approve of Slavery? No.
|
Yes
Well, I suppose that you can claim that the Church approved of indentured
servitude for debtors and prisoners of war, but the forced servitude of
people because of their race or faith? Never.
You are a scum sucking liar. "We grant you [Kings of Spain and Portugal] by
these present documents, with our Apostolic authority, full and free
permission to invade, search out, capture, and subjugate the Saracens and
pagans and any other unbelievers and enemies of Christ wherever they may
be, as well as their kingdoms, duchies, counties, principalities, and other
property.and to reduce their persons into perpetual slavery."
Saracens and pagans. Race and religion are the basis for enslaving these
people.
2) Did I ever say the Jews were evil? No. |
Yes
Ha! The Jews believe in the same 'evil' old testament as the Christians do.
And by your logic, that makes them evil, too. When are you going to add a
bloody Star of David to your website?
Who was it that decreed that jews should wear a star of david in public?
Who declared that they must live in ghettoes? Who declared that they may
not hold any public office? Who declared that christians may not work for

Who was it that decreed that jews should wear a star of david in public?
Who declared that they must live in ghettoes? Who declared that they may
not hold any public office? Who declared that christians may not work for
jews? Sounds like the nuremburg laws, right? Actually, these were papal

Do you have a reference for these decrees?

Check these out:
"Dudum ad nostram audientiam" issued by Eugene IV in 1442, jews were
forbidden to live with Christians or fill public functions.
"***** nimis absurdum," issued by Paul IV in 1555. It required Jews to wear
badges, and live in ghettos. This was reiterated by Pius IV in "dudum e
felicis recordationis" 1556; and on several occasions by "Saint" Pius V
1566-1569.
"Caeca et obdurata" Clement VIII, 1593, jews in papal lands must live in
ghettoes.
"A quo primum" 1751, Benedict XIV forbids freedoms for jews in poland in a
particularly nasty encyclical.
The roman ghetto was briefly abolished by Pius IX in 1848, but reinstated
it shortly thereafter. It wasn't closed until the popes lost the papal
states in 1870.

Jesus never said anything against slavery in the Bible. And there are
plenty of places in the New Testament were it says that slaves are supposed
to obey their masters.

So your excuse is that slavery is better than torture and death??? That

Yes. And the conclusion is that the catholic church is always behind the
curve when it comes to moral behavior. They're still behind the curve.
Maybe when the current pope finally goes to hell, the next one will get a
clue that priests fucking altar boys is wrong. The current hierarchy
certainly doesn't think so.

Yeah, there is no apology there. First off, as any kid in catechism class
knows, an act of contrition requires accepting responsibility for one's
action. The pope basically puts the blame on others. He doesn't admit the
truth, which is that the church actively persecuted jews for centuries.
That's not an apology.
Bless me father, for mistrust existed. Some people caused suffering. Others
have sinned and I regret that. But I am firmly resolved to let bygones be
bygones.

That works for me, but it obviously doesn't work for the 5 to 10% of the

Contraception is good. It saves the world from the horrors of

The Vatican didn't feel that all people are equal for most of it's

and still condemn atheists at nearly every chance they get.
Freaky 5-way carnival sex is to be avoided. -Oh, they expect everyone to

If no one is getting hurt, and they all want to do it, I don't see where
it's any of my business to be breaking up wild orgies. Many people think
that sex is a natural and wonderful thing even between multiple people, or
God forbid, people of the same sex! I think it is totally immoral to tell
consenting adults what they can or can't do in the privacy of their
bedrooms.
Abortion is wrong. -Oh, give me a break! Next they'll be expecting us to

What about stem cell research? The Vatican is against that and real live

the insane belief in the existence of a soul.

The Pope made it very clear that the Vatican can never sin. He is blaming a

An apology requires an acknowledgment of the offense, along with expressing
regret or asking pardon. The Pope never acknowledged the fault of the
Church in these offensives. He only blamed sinners in the Church. This
sounds like the "few bad apples" defense that the Church likes to use all
the time. Look at the pedophilia scandal. The Church never took any
responsibility for it's actions and always blamed it on a few bad apples.

According to the DSM-IV definition, pedophilia involves sexual activity by
an adult with a prepubescent child.

It's not easy being Christian. The ends do not justify the means (I struggle
with this one, myself) mass murderers should not be killed. It's the old 2
wrongs and a right thing...
Marriage should be 1 man and 1 woman. -Oh, how medieval!
That works for me, but it obviously doesn't work for the 5 to 10% of the

(I was comparing Catholic values with secular values in a sarcastic
fashion... just in case you didn't get it.) 5-10% of folks are homosexual.
They can't marry. Being a man, I can't bear children. My daughter cannot be
a priest. That's life.
Adultery is bad. -What a bunch of prudes.
It's not as bad as torturing and killing people.
Torturing is bad. -Not if it's consensual!
Hey, they got one right! I wonder if they had a long debate before they

until their god told them it was wrong.
Natural law and divine law are in agreement on this issue.
Live together in peace and brotherhood.
Sounds good in theory.
-And not have sex? Sickos!
You forgot to add "...except with little altar boys".
Such hypocrisy! 85% of the sexual abuse cases that have occured were between
homsexual priests and teenage boys. Something secular, atheistic society
would call a 'normal, consensual relationship.'
Contraception is good. It saves the world from the horrors of
overpopulation. Just look at all the starvation and disease in the many
largely Catholic third world countries.
Reality check! Ready? Here it comes...
A) Those countries have little government, and what they do have is
incompetent or corrupt, they are torn by continuous civil, ethnic and
religious warfare, they have little or no civil liberties, no
infrastructure, no power, no clean water. To blame their problems on the
Church's contraceptive policy is beyond absurd.
B) The Church also bans fornication, and it's a much worse sin than using
contraception. It's just as absurd to say that there are millions of people
ignoring the 'ban' on fornication, but for some strange reason are *obeying*
the ban on contraception.
C) Which countries are suffering from overpopulation? India? China?
Bangladesh? Not Catholic countries. It would this is not exclusively a
'Catholic problem.'
I have seen quite a few Catholic writings lately saying that pedophilia
only
applies to sex with pre-pubescent children, not teen-agers.
Catholic writings? It's a general trend in all of our society, teens seem to
no longer be considered children at all. Besides, if the Church changes it's
position on sex before marriage, or the evil of exploiting children, I'm
sure we'll all hear about it.
The Vatican didn't feel that all people are equal for most of it's
existence. They were constantly condemning, and sometimes killing, the
Jews
and still condemn atheists at nearly every chance they get.
*sigh* Haven't we been over that? Read the Catechism and see what it
condemns.
If no one is getting hurt, and they all want to do it, I don't see where
it's any of my business to be breaking up wild orgies. Many people think
that sex is a natural and wonderful thing even between multiple people, or
God forbid, people of the same sex! I think it is totally immoral to tell
consenting adults what they can or can't do in the privacy of their
bedrooms.
I couldn't give a rat's arse what consenting adults do to each other either,
BUT, fornication (especially of the 'freaky' sort) is injurious to our
dignity as human beings, and if between same sexes, against the natural law.
What about stem cell research? The Vatican is against that and real live
people are going to be harmed and killed because of your stupid religion
and
the insane belief in the existence of a soul.
It's back to the end not justifying the means. It's wrong to kill a living
being, even if it is to save another. I'm sure you wouldn't murder a child
to save another. Just who decides when a fetus (which, apparently, is not a
person and completely disposable) becomes a person (and is therefore
'worthy' of being allowed to live.)?
An apology requires an acknowledgment of the offense, along with
expressing
regret or asking pardon.
He did that.
. The Pope never acknowledged the fault of the
Church in these offensives. He only blamed sinners in the Church.
The Church is the Christians that form it, and they are all sinners.
Look at the pedophilia scandal. The Church never took any
responsibility for it's actions and always blamed it on a few bad apples.
Well, actually, it was just a few 'bad apples', but the whole affair was
handled in a deplorable way, and that has been recognized, and reforms are
being made. However, the truth is, it was not caused by priestly celibacy,
or by the lack of female priests, as secular society seems to think.

Marriage should be 1 man and 1 woman. -Oh, how medieval!
That works for me, but it obviously doesn't work for the 5 to 10% of the
population that are homosexuals.
(I was comparing Catholic values with secular values in a sarcastic
fashion... just in case you didn't get it.) 5-10% of folks are homosexual.
They can't marry. Being a man, I can't bear children. My daughter cannot
be
a priest. That's life.
A couple of hundred years ago you would be saying the same things about
blacks and slavery, and women and the vote. That's not life, that's
immorality.
Adultery is bad. -What a bunch of prudes.
It's not as bad as torturing and killing people.
Torturing is bad. -Not if it's consensual!
Hey, they got one right! I wonder if they had a long debate before they
figured out that murder was wrong. Oh that's right, they didn't know
this
until their god told them it was wrong.
Natural law and divine law are in agreement on this issue.
Tell it to the graves of the people murdered by your church and religion.
Live together in peace and brotherhood.
Sounds good in theory.
-And not have sex? Sickos!
You forgot to add "...except with little altar boys".
Such hypocrisy! 85% of the sexual abuse cases that have occured were
between
homsexual priests and teenage boys. Something secular, atheistic society
would call a 'normal, consensual relationship.'
If someone has sex with teenage boys who are under the age of consent, we
call that statutory rape and throw them in jail. For some reason the
Catholic Church hides the evidence, forgives the perverts, and transfers the
pervert to a different area where he can do it all over again.
Contraception is good. It saves the world from the horrors of
overpopulation. Just look at all the starvation and disease in the many
largely Catholic third world countries.
Reality check! Ready? Here it comes...
A) Those countries have little government, and what they do have is
incompetent or corrupt, they are torn by continuous civil, ethnic and
religious warfare, they have little or no civil liberties, no
infrastructure, no power, no clean water. To blame their problems on the
Church's contraceptive policy is beyond absurd.
B) The Church also bans fornication, and it's a much worse sin than using
contraception. It's just as absurd to say that there are millions of
people
ignoring the 'ban' on fornication, but for some strange reason are
*obeying*
the ban on contraception.
C) Which countries are suffering from overpopulation? India? China?
Bangladesh? Not Catholic countries. It would this is not exclusively a
'Catholic problem.'
Overpopulation is not exclusively a Catholic problem but it is pretty clear
that Catholicism is at least partially responsible for overpopulation in
many third world countries, especially in Central and South America.
I have seen quite a few Catholic writings lately saying that pedophilia
only
applies to sex with pre-pubescent children, not teen-agers.
Catholic writings? It's a general trend in all of our society, teens seem
to
no longer be considered children at all. Besides, if the Church changes
it's
position on sex before marriage, or the evil of exploiting children, I'm
sure we'll all hear about it.
When the Vatican starts routinely expelling priests for molesting altar boys
let me know. It hasn't happened yet.
The Vatican didn't feel that all people are equal for most of it's
existence. They were constantly condemning, and sometimes killing, the
Jews
and still condemn atheists at nearly every chance they get.
*sigh* Haven't we been over that? Read the Catechism and see what it
condemns.
It condemns masturbation!
If no one is getting hurt, and they all want to do it, I don't see where

"Injurious to the dignity as human beings", didn't they say the same thing
about inter-racial marriage?
What about stem cell research? The Vatican is against that and real
live
people are going to be harmed and killed because of your stupid religion
and
the insane belief in the existence of a soul.

But only brain-dead religious freaks consider a couple of dozen cells,
smaller than a pin head, the same as a real live person.

The Church is the Christians that form it, and they are all sinners.
The Church is an organization. It makes no sense to say that the Church can
not sin like the Pope said.

The priest pedophile problem was fueled by the Catholic policies of not
reporting these crimes to the police and the public, forgiving the perverts,
and transferring them to other places to continue their crimes.
