Q&A tonight has just proven to me that it exhibits the incredible stupidity of the Media in understanding Religion.
We had the Blonde and Beautiful Kristina Keneally pushing forth the idea that Catholic Priests should have a 'choice' to be Celibate or not!
Now this Media savvy and popular woman was inept at Politics and is now proven to be a total twatt at Religion as well.
Well Kristina. Catholic Priests DO have a choice to be Celibate or not. It's call the PROTESTANT Religion. A Religion that incorporates the 'non-celibate' aspect of having a wife and children, while the general mass wave their hands in the air for the money. Hell, Protestantism brought in 'Divorce' so the Priest can remarry towards more wives and have more children. One Protestant Priest in the USA has 19 kids at last count. Mormonism is an 'americanised' version of Protestantism (from Europe) more than it ever stemmed from Catholicism. Orthodox is a 'cross' of both Protestantism and Catholicism.
So Kristina Keneally is just another, sorry to say - 'woman' just trying to tear down another male bastion.
As for the viewing public of Q&A who text in, etc.
Saying that Catholicism should have 'Gay Priests and marriages'... Well then, why don't you Gays frig off and start your own Religion (like everyone else has had to do) and leave Catholicism alone! The fact that Politics is being 'exploited' to attack Catholicism is just pathetic.
Don't like how the rules of Catholicism is done. Then leave!
And leave it alone! If it is so bad - then it will be isolated, rejected and eventually die a lonely death of obsoletion like Zoroastrianism and be lost in the sand of time as nothing more than a 'relic'.
Catholicism is not to dissimilar to Mohommedism.
As Protestantism is to Judaism.
So little wonder they had a Jewish Rabbi Priest on the panel having a go at Catholicism which is just a tad different than having a spit against Mohommedism under the table.
Yes it is sad that 'Spiders' infest the Catholic Church, but they do so in EVERY Religion: Buddhism, Taoism, Judaism, Bahai-ism and they do so in EVERY BLOODY INDUSTRY ON THE PLANET - yep, even the Media/Entertainment Industry.
To say this is just a 'Catholic' thing is nothing more than a Media bash against Religion (because the Media is more bias towards 'Science'... and need I go on from this with Atheism ?)
Q&A was one of the most farsical Religious experiences anyone could have happened to tonight.
Bunch of idiots who new nothing, beyond the 'human condition of sexual abuse itself' - that I can give them. But beyond that, they knew nothing and were talking nothing more than sensationalism via stupidity.
What has happened to victims of Catholic abuse is terrible.
But the majority of Catholic Priests are NOT like these Spiders. They deal with the sacrifice of Celibacy in their stride. If 10% of all Catholic Priests are Spiders, then I would have to say, the majority of them are in the Vatican - where the 'power' to get away with it, is the strongest because 'money' protects them better there.
I agree - Pope Francis is intimidated and not strong enough to win this 'battle' against the Spiders. Pope Benedict fared better, but he was attacked constantly by the Media for being a Nazi and not smiling for their Cameras like Pope John (Turn a blind eye) Paul II did.

So these are the people the Media, ABC, etc put out to guide the Australian people with expert advice?
Bloody hell - I've seen more honest intelligence from a North Korean Communist Propaganda film.

Kristina Keneally: You're gorgeous but you're absolutely stupid. Nothing but a Media muppet.
