The Catholic Church Does it again
In an age where less and less people have time for the crazy demands of the Catholic Church, it seems that the Pope and the Vatican have thought of some even more crazy rules, even after the new sins they introduced, which included being rich (Ironic from the richest organisation in the world?)
The new forms of sin where,
1. “Bioethical” violations such as birth control
2. “Morally dubious” experiments such as stem cell research
3. Drug abuse
4. Polluting the environment
5. Contributing to widening divide between rich and poor
6. Excessive wealth
7. Creating poverty
Now I’m no extreme liberal with womens right etc, but it almost seems the church is doing the opposite of moving into the 21st century, and becoming more flexible with their latest stunt
THE Vatican has issued its most explicit decree so far against the ordination of women priests, punishing them and the bishops who try to ordain them with automatic excommunication.
The decree was written by the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and published in the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano, giving it immediate effect.
I myself being a catholic do agree with these new rules but wonder how are we suppose to follow them? If polluting the world is a sin, then EVERYONE does is! So does that mean EVERYONE is going to hell?
I can’t help but question these new rules at to weather or not the pope is trying to expand our religion or drive people away
Hi Ben,
Being an atheist, I have always taken a keen interest in the “church” in all it’s forms. You must remember the popes views have little in common with the teachings of either God or Christ. If there were such a place as hell, the actions of past popes would see many of them sent there. Better you follow the teachings of the Bard who said “this above all things, to thyn own self be true”.
