Why would a church change century old rules and beliefs for the sake of an idiotic society that has done nothing but go backwards?

Gone backwards? Quite an amazing assertion.

We abolished slavery, we figured out the movement of the stars, defeated the nazis and the communists, invented parliamentary democracy, recognised the equality of races and elevated the status of women. All of these things not done by the church, nor even with the church's blessing. All of these things were done in spite of the Catholic church. Some of these things the church is still actively fighting against!

Society has progressed immeasurably, opposed at every turn by decrepit obscenely rich men in dresses who wanted to keep the world miserable and poor and stupid, because only the miserable and the poor and the stupid will buy their platitudes in servitude and in actual valuables.

Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître (French: [ləmɛtʁ] (

1966) was a Belgian priest, astronomer and professor of physics at the Catholic University of Louvain. He was the first person to propose the theory of the expansion of the Universe, widely misattributed to Edwin Hubble. [1][2] He was also the first to derive what is now known as the Hubble's law and made the first estimation of what is now called the Hubble constant, which he published in 1927, two years before Hubble's article. [3][4][5][6] Lemaître also proposed what became known as the Big Bang theory of the origin of the Universe, which he called his 'hypothesis of the primeval atom'.

Definitely not arguing in favor of the catholic church, but just sayin

He was a catholic.

That doesn't mean his work was in any way aided by the Catholic Church, or any of his achievements can be attributed to him being Catholic.

I remember my Physics teacher talking about how he first proposed the Big Bang model, my first thought was that it was hilariously ironic he was a Catholic priest who should believe the story of Genesis.

Aided by the catholic church? The catholic church isnt some seperate entity, its a collection of people. Whatever problems you have with the church, isnt with the walls of the church, but the people in positions of power within the church.

Pope received news of his warrant of arrest before resignation
02/15/20130 Comments

On February 4, a week before Pope Benedict XVI's resignation, Vatican allegedly received a note from an undisclosed European government that stated that there are plans to issue a warrant for the Pope's arrest. Addicting Info reports.

With his resignation announced, the former pope will have a meeting with the Italian President, Giorgio Napolitano on February 23 to beg for immunity against prosecution for allegations of child rape.

Benedict XVI was the first Pope to resign in 600 years, which shocked almost everyone. And he did so after panicking about an impending arrest in the midst of a hastily arranged meeting begging for protection from the Italian government.


But for him this will not be easy as the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State calls upon the Italian President to deny help to Ratzinger. If the Italian President does cave there may be another venue to make sure he doesn't get away.

In addition to these alleged attempts by this European government to prosecute, a New York based organization, The Centre for Constitutional Rights, has accused the Pope and his Cardinals of possible crimes against humanity for sheltering paedophile priests. The non-profit legal group has requested an ICC inquiry on behalf of the Survivor’s Network, citing the church’s “long-standing and pervasive system of sexual violence.”

The Catholic Church truly knows no bounds when it comes to protecting their priests, no matter how heinous the crimes. They are the biggest example of religion getting people passes. All we can do is hope that these attempts of legal action will become successful.

What alot of ****

[I Love Jesus!]

Anyone wanting to get a sense of how the Catholic church handled this stuff should watch the documentary 'Deliver Us From Evil'. Horrifying, disturbing stuff.

The church will survive though, albeit a weakened version of it. There will always be diehards who refuse to recognise the truth about what the organisation is.

Imagine if any other organisation in society was raping kids on a massive scale for decades and covering it up. They would be burnt out of every town in the country and everyone of its leaders would be thrown in prison. But throw religion in the mix and suddenly they get treated differently.

Not all catholic priests are rapists. That's like saying all muslims are terrorists. And they are not molesters because of the catholic church or gods teaching. But with the worlds attitude towards gays is it a big surprise that many of them hide out in the church?

Absolutely, that'd be like a black guy hiding out with the kkk.
