The sheer irony of the Protestant Church...it was started by a King, that had 9 wives, who murdered women and treated all his kids like pure shit.

You can say what you want without hiding the words. But the facts are that there are no more Catholic pedo priests than those of any other religious denomination. The Catholics just got more news coverage. Have you ever read the statistics about Boy Scout leaders?
- The Catholic Church has faced significant scrutiny for sexual abuse cases, with a notable percentage of clergy involved in allegations over decades.
- The Boy Scouts of America has reported a higher number of total cases, with thousands of allegations documented, leading to legal and financial repercussions.
- Both organizations have implemented measures to address and prevent future abuse, but the scale and public response have varied.

Context of Abuse Cases
- The Catholic Church has faced significant scrutiny and media coverage regarding sexual abuse cases, particularly in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
- High-profile cases and scandals have led to a perception of a larger problem within the Catholic Church, but studies suggest that the rates of abuse are not disproportionately higher than in other institutions.
Conclusion
While the Catholic Church has been heavily criticized for its handling of abuse cases, the data does not support the claim that Catholic priests represent the largest group of pedophiles compared to other clergy.This isn't exactly what I'm talking about.Search Assist
No, the Catholic Church did not change the Ten Commandments; rather, the differences in numbering and grouping between Catholic and Protestant versions stem from historical variations in how they are interpreted and listed. Both traditions contain the same commandments, just organized differently.

Overview of the Ten Commandments
The Ten Commandments, also known as the Decalogue, are a set of biblical principles relating to ethics and worship. They are found in the books of Exodus and Deuteronomy in the Bible.
Catholic vs. Protestant Listings
The Catholic Church and many Protestant denominations list the Ten Commandments differently. This difference often leads to the misconception that the Catholic Church has changed or omitted a commandment.
1 You shall not have other gods besides Me You shall have no other gods before me 2 You shall not take the Name of the Lord in vain You shall not make unto thee any graven image 3 Remember to keep holy the Lord’s day Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy 4 Honor your father and your mother Honor thy father and thy mother 5 You shall not murder Thou shalt not kill 6 You shall not commit adultery Thou shalt not commit adultery 7 You shall not steal Thou shalt not steal 8 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor 9 You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife 10 You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods

Reason for Differences
The Catholic Church follows a numbering system established by St. Augustine, which combines the prohibition against graven images with the commandment about having no other gods. This grouping is seen as a way to emphasize the prohibition against idolatry rather than omitting a commandment.
Conclusion
The Catholic Church did not change the Ten Commandments; rather, it uses a different numbering system that reflects its theological understanding. The essence of the commandments remains intact across both traditions.

Of course. Most of them are rules for leading a moral life, and that doesn't necessarily apply only to organized religion.

After Christ arose from the dead, the 10 commandments entire meaning was reclassified for lack of a better word...Christ preached forgiveness and atonement. In essence, salvation for all sinners, whereas the 10, gave you none.

Anytime you screw up, you change the topic. We were discussing the number of offenders, not the amount of settlements. I notice you haven't touched the subject that the BSA had more victims than the Catholic church.You are delusional if you really believe that

Is that so???
Then why in the last Chapter of the Bible did he say? I await you learned exegeses.
Rev: 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

The BSA is teaching God's word. You seem to think the Roman Catholic Church is. Call me crazy but I don't think priests (and nuns) should be diddling little kids.

What good is it to have your family in church on Sunday smiling & agreeing w/ sentiments that are in line w/ the message of "love thy neighbor," and then spend the rest of the week on JPP or some other site, or in Congress or the WH, spewing hate for neighbors you don't agree with?
Of course there was...but that was not why you were using that picture.
You were showing what people were supposed to identify as "a better time in America."
But to do that honestly, one would have to post the other picture with it...and pictures of people being hanged from trees for driving while black.
You know my point, Stone...just as I knew yours.
Well 1700 victims in the US can't be all wrong.
