For me as a Catholic, this is my thought on the paedophilia The Catholic priesthood used to be a good place for a pedophile violent criminal absolutely immoral man to hide out, and avoid justice. If there were criminal naïveté, then the other priests were guilty of that, but criminal naivete...

This "ignorance" you accuse me of @Arthur Brain . . . what exactly is it? What is it that I do not know? Set it out. You're just bluffing. I call.

lol. Plain. I didn't even use that. You didn't even read successfully. Plain. You didn't even read the small part you tried to read correctly.

Their gift is to preside over the celebration of the Church institutions known as the sacraments, and to preserve the deposit of faith, the totality of the divine teaching tradition, passed down from the Apostles, who received it from Christ. I'm talking about the pastorate known as bishops...

Not only is that unsubstantiated, it's simply untrue, based on all the world's data taken together. You don't have any evidence at all that shows prevalent guns or gun culture (which I admit that we do have here, I'm a member of that culture) turns into murders. None. If anything, taken all...

RD's giving you the boundary condition for any proposed solution Eider. You do know that? Recognize it? He's saying, "I don't know exactly what to do (or at least I'm not saying it right now) but I for a certainty know exactly what NOT to do," and you just aren't responding to that. And so...

So then we have a murder problem---not "gun violence". If you want to call a murder problem a "public health issue" then, that seems incredibly silly to do so, but I guess technically, it's not wrong. It's just so much worse than a "public health issue".

These are just violent criminals and I'm sure there is nobody who approves of the violent crime of paedophilia, who isn't also just a paedophile themselves already. So Barber without justification lumps together paedophiles and non-paedophiles. He definitely could argue that a certain policy...

It's not sexual anarchy. Rape is still very illegal. Child rape is super illegal. Our government is, and remains, very authorized to enforce these sexual laws against rapists of all sorts. GOP doesn't applaud sexual anarchy, GOP applauds political and legal morality, that of separating...

The vast majority of gun homicides are committed with handguns, whether revolvers or pistols, that is true, but the biggest headlines are the massacres committed with "assault weapons". Whenever the weapons are identified as handguns, the emphasis is on expanding background checks, but when...

https://us.cnn.com/2021/04/16/politics/mass-shootings-america-guns/index.html The article ends with, "...45 mass shootings in the space of a month means that we have a problem in this country. A problem that our government needs to find ways to address." OK fine, agreed, as far it goes. But...

If you could just give me the gist? Or even quote what's pertinent? As a test for reasonability, I don't know why anyone "new" to the Bible wouldn't think that Galatians's "the Jerusalem which is above" (Gal 4:26), "the heavenly Jerusalem" in Hebrews 12:22, and the "new Jerusalem, coming down...

One link to the Church's Catechism, and another to the Church's Scripture. Actually they can both be found at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops website: https://bible.usccb.org/bible https://www.usccb.org/sites/default/files/flipbooks/catechism/

Yes but, this is only a Bandaid. The folks who cleverly do this aren't always thinking about what happens once they die? Then their kin have the weapons, and they're off-book, and so the ones doing this to avoid being irresponsible, need to pass on their methods of keeping these things, and...

John the Baptist calls Christ the Lamb. Paul says Christ is our Passover---he says it to Gentiles. Christ takes away the sins of the world, 1st Corinthians 15:3-4 The Church. Dan, is "the Jerusalem which is above" in Gal 4:26, the same as "the heavenly Jerusalem" in Hebrews 12:22, and the...

No! I am not equivocating. I have one thing in mind when I say Church. It's you who tries to argue that when the New Testament mentions "Church" that it's something other than what I mean by it. "Church" is a main character in the NT. Along with Christ and John the Baptist and the Apostles...

Because a forward vertical grip, is the most lethal thing on a gun. It's a threat multiplier. And I'm kidding of course.

I'm sorry for the inadvertent confusion. I thought that using "institutions of liberalism," "institutions of liberal democracy," "liberal institutions," etc., was going to be clearer, especially when I offered examples of them. I've been using the first meaning of the word "institution" as...

The US regime under the Articles of Confederation was basically a libertarian dream regime, and it was so bad it almost caused the fracture of the nation into multiple smaller confederacies by the late 1780s. We do need great central power, in order to best secure our freedoms and liberties...
