- iPissExcellence, on 12/06/2007, -3/+61why would they warn a 20 year old jewish guy about this?
- Magillicutti, on 12/06/2007, -5/+60Is that little boy taking his sweatshirt off?
God damnit. - everfalling, on 12/06/2007, -3/+49look at the priest. no ones head can twist backwards that far. i call demon!
- kiegh, on 12/06/2007, -5/+45Priests aren't heavenly beings sent from God to do good in this world. They are people just like me and you who choose to do things, good or bad, every single moment of their lives. The fact that people in the past used their free will to violate children is a sad truth, but it's the truth and I'm glad that at least the NYC Diocese is stepping up to try and prevent this from happening again.
- Kokichi, on 12/06/2007, -2/+37Was anyone else preoccupied with the ridiculously hot angel floating above?
- CannedMango, on 12/06/2007, -2/+24He sure seems to have gotten that priest's attention.
- JLecker, on 12/06/2007, -1/+19Is that a shovel behind that door? What the ***** is the priest doing with that?
- merdiesel, on 12/06/2007, -1/+18creepy.
- chickendud, on 12/06/2007, -0/+17this is the original page including newsweek's blurb to put it in context:

- jumblies, on 12/06/2007, -0/+13Yes, all adults are child molesters. Remember that.
- coollettuce, on 12/06/2007, -4/+17WTF? A child and an adult shouldn't be alone together? And why is the person in the picture a man? That's just the media scaring everyone into believing every adult male is a pedophile.
- joshuaer, on 12/06/2007, -3/+15So much for confession !
- brstilson, on 12/06/2007, -0/+11You believe in his ideology so strongly that you'd let him anally violate you (as if he would)? You sound like the type of person that would join a cult.
- Julz, on 12/06/2007, -2/+13this ***** pisses me off, not all catholic priests are pedophiles. why is it that all males are automatically labeled as sex offenders! in New Zealand kids are not allowed to sit besides adult males in all public transport and planes, as if all males are pedophiles and all males are going to force themselves on kids in public transportation! im sick of this *****. while other classes and genders are gaining rights, males are losing them, from almost automatically losing your kids in family court, to being automatically labeled as a sex offender, its time for males to stand up for their rights.
- Nougat, on 12/06/2007, -0/+11I'm betting it's the smock that altar boys wear.
- nextyoyoma, on 12/06/2007, -1/+11Kiegh, I hope you aren't Catholic, because you seem totally ignorant about at least this aspect of Catholic belief. The reasons for celibacy are these: After duty to God himself, every married man's first duty is his family. For priests, their first duty is the church. So if a priest were married, he couldn't devote as much of himself to the church. And of course, sex with someone who is not your spouse is disallowed, so naturally priests must abstain.
Catholics do consider celibacy to be a "higher" state of being, but recognize that each person has his own calling.
They are trying to imitate the life of Christ. Christ was not married, but devoted all of his life to the church.
Last but most importantly, clerical celibacy is church law, not doctrine. The pope can change the law at any time (though it doesn't seem likely to happen in the near future, unless there becomes a strong movement to abolish it).
I am not saying anyone here has to agree with this, but I thought I should set the record straight instead of letting people spread false ideas. - katrayun, on 12/06/2007, -0/+10Dugg for honesty, at least.
- inactive, on 12/06/2007, -1/+9I'm Chris Hanson go ahead and take a seat.
- andrewcsayer, on 12/06/2007, -0/+8Don't see any numbers indicating what colors to use.
- unloud, on 12/06/2007, -0/+8Also, just because someone is celibate doesn't mean they are going to rape little children. What is more important is that only people of right-mind are allowed to be around young children alone.
- HaloZero, on 12/06/2007, -1/+9Anybody else think the priest looks like Lenin?
- chickendud, on 12/06/2007, -0/+8those are collection baskets... like the ones at the bottom of this page:
http://www.catholicsupply.com/churchs/collection.h ... - 0ceanic, on 12/06/2007, -4/+12yep, that priest is a fag.
hes making eye contact with the boy when he could be looking up that hot angel's robe for some divine inspiration. - cyb309, on 12/06/2007, -1/+8Dr. Quest....?
- Nougat, on 12/06/2007, -1/+8I lay down in bed with my kids in the evening, read a book or two, and listen to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star before they go to sleep. The door is closed and the curtains drawn, and no one else is in the house. I must be trouble.
- blast_flame, on 12/06/2007, -0/+6He doesn't support RP. That is the reaction he is trying to get.
- JuCee, on 12/06/2007, -0/+6That's an AILF if I've ever seen one.
- Kronos6948, on 12/06/2007, -0/+6Please help me. I want to understand where all this antisemitism stems from. I was born and raised Catholic, and am an atheist. I don't understand where all this hatred of Jews comes from. Sure, some Catholics are against the Jews because of their treatment of Jesus. Arabic countries are against the Jews because of the situation in Israel. But, why the rest of the world? What did the Jews do to Korea? What was Nazi Germany's main issue with the Jews? Were they just a scapegoat for Germany's problems at the time? Hell, there's tons of antisemitism here in the U.S.
Someone please clarify. - AvidPreatorian, on 12/06/2007, -2/+7the priest's face says it all, and the waving hand punctuates it
- lubberwort, on 12/06/2007, -0/+5Sorry to hijack, but found links to coloring book and comic book online
Coloring Book - http://sistersoflife.org/English.pdf
Comic Book - http://sistersoflife.org/ArchangelComic.pdf
Taken from http://www.archny.org/pastoral/safe-environment-pr ... - KnightMareInc, on 12/06/2007, -1/+6so instead of getting rid of the pedos, lets release a coloring book instead! Awesome plan!
- danwallace, on 12/06/2007, -1/+6And all black people aren't thugs, but I'm still not going to approach a group of them at night in the city.
- brstilson, on 12/06/2007, -3/+8A belief not at all supported by the Bible. Paul merely suggested it to those who would be able to suppress those desires and use that energy in the service of God, but never made it a pre-requisite to the priesthood. In fact, when writing to Timothy he indicated the opposite:
A bishop then must be blameless, *the husband of one wife*, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; - 1 Timothy 3:2 (emphasis mine)
and again in verse 12:
Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. - tas08, on 12/06/2007, -0/+4nextyoyoma
That's a good comment. Thanks for knowing the real reason. - mexretroshore, on 12/06/2007, -1/+5Easier to teach kids than priests.
- Nupeper, on 12/06/2007, -1/+5failchan?
- OnAnyMouse, on 12/06/2007, -0/+4sex != original sin. Original sin was (according to Catholic belief) Eve's act of eating the forbidden fruit.
- inactive, on 12/06/2007, -0/+4like someone mentioned above, instead of releasing some coloring book, why not get rid of the offenders? nah, let's just move them to another church instead and keep mum about it.
- inactive, on 12/06/2007, -0/+4I knew people liked Ron Paul, I didn't know they like like him though.
- houndeyex, on 12/06/2007, -0/+4Throw in a wink and you're good to go!

- arcticblue, on 12/06/2007, -0/+4but if you look above, you'll see that the image section is highlighted. well, i guess I'll be burying all images I see on the homepage as "wrong topic" from now on.
- jacquesm, on 12/06/2007, -4/+8excuse me, but there is no 'path to holiness', you've been fed a lot of bull. go develop some critical thinking skills and then review the stuff that you call knowledge.
- mrosetti, on 12/06/2007, -8/+12Because they are human beings, the church should have realize by now that celibacy is the wrong way to go....
- looselips, on 12/06/2007, -1/+5Ssssshh!
God doesn't approve of sex unless you are willing to marry her, in gods house, and created babies on the honeymoon, who must be raised to do exactly the same thing. I guess you could just print out the page and.. nope, you can't do that either.
Role-playing, I should have thought of it sooner, that definitely has to be sanctioned. So get a girl, marry her an... - nextyoyoma, on 12/06/2007, -0/+4I believe this book is specifically trying to combat this type of behavior in the priesthood. Since all Catholic priests are men, it follows that the figure in this book should be male.
I don't know, you might have been joking, but I can never tell without /sarc tags. Call me stupid. - everfalling, on 12/06/2007, -1/+5/r/ torrent of scanned booklet
- TsuruchiBrian, on 12/06/2007, -0/+3"please realize that there are tons of religious people who are perfectly reasonable and of sound mind"
Reason is the opposite of faith. Reasonable is exactly what religious people are NOT! Religious people may have many other good qualities like charitable, kind, moral, hard working, compassionate, etc. But reasonable is not a quality I would attribute to someone who believes unquestioningly in the Bible because it says in the Bible that it is the word of God. - credence, on 12/06/2007, -0/+3Obvious troll is ...*looks over comments*...apparently not obvious.
