Could you become a Catholic Preist

[Hauldren Collider]

I was reading about monks and they say after they take their "permanent vows" they can't leave. But they can, right? I mean, if you're in a monastery in Europe and you just up and say "**** it, I'm getting out", what are they going to do? Tell you no? Just hitch a ride to the nearest city.

jealous?

Why would I be jealous? It doesn't sound hard at all to be a catholic.

[Hauldren Collider]

It isn't hard. You just do what my mom does and go to church on Christmas and Easter. Catholicism is pretty chill

In fact it's like playing an RPG. You can take it as seriously as you like. For example, you can agree with the no birth control thing and pop out 12 kids, or you can be Nancy Pelosi and think killing babies is actually OK. It's totally up to you!

Also, I've watched enough Cadfael to understand that monks travel to spread the word with relics and whatnot every so often. "A Morbid Taste for Bones" is a good episode.

So the more difficult it is to practice a religion, the better that religion is? Shouldn't you be praising suicide bombers then?

I think it'd be harder for Kidicious to be a Buddhist.

Being a suicide bomber would be easy. They are all poor men with no social status. Not killing is much harder.

He'd be brilliant at unintentionally developing koans

But according to you, power = justice, therefore a suicide bomber who has more power than a non-suicide bomber is also more just

I never said suicide bombers were just. I said God is just. Satan is not just, for example.

Breaking vows is probably considered sinful.

Why is it hard for you to understand that power is justice?

Might want to check back with Jesus and Ephesians on that one. On the other hand, it might explain why protestants agree with divorce, and schism.

A success defined by how many children were raped and how many priests were merely shuffled around. And the saddest part is, prior to the past 15-20 years, nobody was saying **** about it so we can only venture a guess as to how widespread it is.

Given that the move away from the Latin rite happened in the 60s, I fail to see how you can blame the Latin rite for church abuse. I'd argue that modernism is responsible both for the subsequent abuse and the liturgical difficulties.

Whatever harm a suicide bomber does likely won't be remembered 1000 years from now.
