Is this the end for the Roman Catholic church?

or is it just the beginning of the end?

The Vatican has included a provision in its revised decree that made the "attempted ordination" of women one of the gravest crimes in ecclesiastical law, inferring it was as grave as pedophilia.

For many years some priests have treated the availability of young boys (and sometimes girls) as "perks of the job". And their bishops and higher clergy have supported or condoned this by simply moving the offending priests to other parishes if there were complaints made against them. Even now, there is reluctance to acknowledge the crimes committed in the past by Roman Catholic clergy and the church's response is generally to minimize the publicity without addressing the problem.

And now this, in what world do these miserable misogynists and supporters of pederasty live?

All polls on religion show that the number of atheists/agnostics/free thinkers is increasing, and the number of theists, esp. Christians is decreasing.

Hopefully.

You can call them all the names you want, - but let them exercise their beliefs. The foundation of (only) men as pastors (and priests) is a Biblical doctrine.

And of course they think they answer to 'gods' law, - not mans' law.

And I abhor the actions of a few.

It is quite near the end......

It is bad enough that the pope himself, by his deeds, is obviously an atheist; either that or he WANTS to commit spiritual suicide and BURN; but to DECEIVE two thousand million people, to FOLLOW and BURN with him, is the greatest CRIME of ALL. That is why Paul calls the papacy the son of the Destroyer.

The Bible says that the Messiah/Christ will destroy the whore (The Vatican) with the TRUTH*; from his Place of Defence - The munitions [Fortress] of Rock - Gibraltar (Isaiah 33:16-17) and that the WHORE is going to BURN; and the pope with her, along with ALL those who have willingly ALLOWED themselves to be deceived by her or her "Harlot Daughters" - the other "so-called christian churches", because, as Paul puts it in 2 Thessalonians 2 v 10-12 :- "they believed not the TRUTH (Christ), but had pleasure in unrighteousness" (willingly breaking God's COMMANDments with their priests' permission - Isaiah 5:20-21 and 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 :- "For such [are] FALSE apostles, deceitful workers, transforming THEMSELVES into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works [NOT words].").
That Wicked - man of sin, has now been revealed, "whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit [of Truth] from his mouth and destroy with the brightness [of the ENLIGHTENING] of his coming" and because of that we know that the Day of Christ is now finally close at hand (2 Thessalonians 2:3, 8).

catholic church is at the end...women can serve like men too..WE WONT TAKE PERKS..

In the end its own supporters will destroy the Roman Catholic Church when they see they've been misled.

What does the future hold for religions that produce rotten fruit? Jesus warned: ?Every tree not producing fine fruit gets cut down and thrown into the fire.? (Matthew 7:19) Yes, false religion will be chopped down and destroyed! But how and when will this happen? A prophetic vision recorded in the Bible book of Revelation, chapters 17 and 18, provides the answer.
Picture the scene. A harlot is sitting on the back of a fearsome beast. The beast has seven heads and ten horns. (Revelation 17:1-4) Whom does the harlot represent? She exerts influence ?over the kings of the earth.? She dresses in purple, uses incense, and is exceedingly wealthy. In addition, by means of her spiritualistic practice, ?all the nations are misled.? (Revelation 17:18; 18:12, 13, 23) The Bible helps us to see that this harlot is a worldwide religious entity. She depicts, not any one religion, but all religions that produce rotten fruit.

The beast that the harlot rides pictures the world?s political powers.* (Revelation 17:10-13) False religion straddles the back of this political beast, attempting to influence its decisions and to control its direction.

Soon, though, an amazing event will take place. ?The ten horns that you saw, and the wild beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her devastated and naked, and will eat up her fleshy parts and will completely burn her with fire.? (Revelation 17:16) In a sudden, shocking move, the world?s political powers will turn on false religion and completely destroy her! What will prompt this action? The Bible book of Revelation answers: ?God put it into their hearts to carry out his thought.? (Revelation 17:17) Yes, God will call false religion to account for all the despicable acts she has committed in his name. In a stroke of perfect justice, he will use her political paramours as his instrument of execution.

What must you do if you do not want to share the fate of false religion? ?Get out of her, my people,? urges God?s messenger. (Revelation 18:4) Indeed, now is the time to flee from false religion! But to where can you flee? Not into atheism, since its future is also bleak. (2 Thessalonians 1:6-9) The only haven is within true religion.

Yup, even as the extent of the depravity becomes shocking and transparent, the tottering Nazi on the throne responds with half-measures and inaction. There will always be a church because there will always be True Believers, but from here on they are the only ones who will extend it any credibility. For the rest of Humanity, we see it for what it is: a worldwide pedophile network committed to the perpetuation of patriarchy and the suppression of female sexuality.

Personally, I believe the Roman Catholic church is being set up to become part of the one world religion of the end times, and will incorporate ungodly doctrines of devils, and yield to seducing spirits ( 1 Timothy 4:1 ). They already teach many false doctrines, which are not found in the bible. Because they don't preach salvation through the blood of Jesus, but rather follow rituals, they don't have the life that the Holy Spirit came to give, but a religious substitute. Jesus is the only way to the Father, and Mary is not equal to Jesus concerning salvation. The Catholic church directs everything through Mary instead of Jesus.

Guess so. More fodder for Chris Hansen's "Dateline".

I'm hoping they are near the end. And I'm seriously hoping the pope gets arrested in September when he visits the UK as proposed. He should have to stand trial for his assistance in the transfer and cover-up of the child rapists during his time as a bishop.

Look, I went to a Christian Brothers boarding school for six years and notwithstanding what you state, there are some genuine Christian Brothers who looked after us in our formative years 24/7 and many of my dorm ates are financially very successful.

I' m not sure if they're happy.

Having said that, the real problem turned out to be not necessarily those Christian Brothers but the parents who sent us there.

They deny many things whilst gloating about their status in life and enjoy worship ping in a church on a Sunday morning.

Twelve-year-old boys only know about playing football, pleasing others and not getting strapped on the AR-se for swearing..

Disgusting exploitation by those closest to you.

The Christian Parents of our year were the real culprits for sending us there in the first place and deny reality whilst attending Catholic Church services every Sunday morning.

They are digging themselves a pretty big hole. I seriously don't know how they could do a worse public relations job.
