Tuesday, 25 September 2007

- Given that approximately 20,000 priests (2-4% of priests) have sexually abused church goers, especially male children, in the last 50 years: Have you ever molested or raped a parishioner?
- Have you ever known about another priest doing so and helped cover it up?
- Have you ever used church resources to give aid to a criminal? Or to commit a crime?
- How many violent crimes have been confessed to you? How many of the confessers were you able to convince to turn themselves in? How many times did you try?
- Who confirmed the Virgin remained one? Did Mary’s hymen somehow remain intact even after delivering the Christ? Why again does the Bible say Jesus had brothers and sisters?
- Given that Joseph spent his life married to a woman he never touched: Was Joseph maybe homosexual?
- Why aren’t Jews, Moslems, and pagans tortured to death by the Church anymore?
- Given the heavy-handed stance against condoms: How responsible is the Church for the AIDS epidemic in Africa? Millions of the dead? Hundreds of thousands? None?
- How could there have been 40 Popes who were never Pope?
- Have you got answers for any of these: Ten Questions to Ask Your Pastor, Reverend, Minister, or Priest?
