NEWSWEEK: Vatican Sex Sting

[Spyder]

Yet another Catholic priest exposed.

http://www.newsweek.com/id/56555/?GT1=10450

What I thought was interesting:


"Others have long regarded Rome as a haven for gay priests, sent to the Vatican because they would not survive in a parish. "Rome's famous for it," said one parish priest in Italy who asked not to be named. "They've got to go somewhere, and so are given something innocuous to do in Rome." For some, that perception was underscored last year, when a senior ranking monsignor was involved in a high-speed police chase after being pulled over in a Rome district known for male prostitution."

Would be funny if they caught the pope doing this kinda BS. That would probably seriously discredit the church.

lol, cbf.

thats fucking dumb and, being gay is totally against what the bible says...

yeah this may seem wrong but homosexuality is completley bad in the bible and yet this faggot is a priest. hope he aint a priest for long

agreed. ^

he's making himself look dumb beyond belief. :(

[Spyder]

Where does it say being gay is bad in the Bible? The only thing even close was something about perverts or some BS like that.

I don't think gays are a big deal, I just think that child molesters are what is really wrong. Anybody caught molesting a child should get their balls cut off.

It talks about homosexuality and how it's wrong. I can't quote anything but it says something along the lines of you shouldn't marry your own gender, etc.

Leviticus 20:13 - "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."

1 Corinthians 6:9 - "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders"

Romans 1:26-27 - "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."

What translation is that from? I don't even think the word "homosexual" is an Aramaic word (the language the Bible was originally written in).

I have an Aramaic Bible upstairs, I'll have to check that. Chances are good that the Bible you got that from was one of the heavily-modified translations.

[DESTRUCTION]

that second line may not be from an older version but i can promise you its in there implying or clearly saying the same thing... i dont feel like finding it atm sice its 3 in the morning but homosexuality is huge no no if youre a christrian.

the "modified" versions would be the versions that accept homosexuality.



i googled a little bit.... and here ya go, a bunch of versions all "modified" in some sort of way

No. We don't want to lose half of our clan.

It's from the NIV (the new international version), one of the (if not the) most commonly used translation now days.

So, no, it's not "heavily-modified" at all my friendly friend. It mostly just takes out words like "lieth" and "hath" etc that we don't normally use in today's modern language, among other similar things.

[NinjaGator]

what's so wrong if the aramic had a word that's similar to homosexual? It only means "same sex"; it's not like its a bad word or anything.

I don't think anybody said that'd be a bad thing.

[NinjaGator]

I know, but spyder made it sound like they wouldn't have a word similar to it in their language.
