The Catholic Church and it’s ways have always been a problem for me as a person to accept them. I never really believed first off that one has to go to a manmade constructed church to pray. First and foremost it says in the bible and even the Priests will tell you, God Hears All and Sees all, so why do I need a church to pray? Second thing I do not like the hypocritical bull churches pull on their members. They say one thing and do another and then tell you, Do as we say, not as we do! More bull indeed.
But my biggest beef against organized religion such as the Catholic Church and any other church is simple, they are hypocrites. They sit and preach each Sunday or religious holiday to people about goodness, faith, love and more, then they as priests and Cardinals and more go sexually abuse children, sad indeed. The religious process is flawed no matter which way you look at it, but this is beyond being flawed this is men and women, preaching one thing and then doing another and doing it to children and ruining their mental and physical well-being for life. Very sad indeed, for we see it almost daily in newspapers, on the news on Television. And I hate to say it, but no Pope, or Cardinal or structured religion can stop pedifiles, sexual predators from doing what they do.
A good case in point happened in my life and sadly there is nothing I can do to help the ex-wife it happened to. The disguises, the acts people put on for public display, and then do in private is what makes it so unbelievable and damaging to their own children and others. I know a man who sexually abused and raped his own four children as they were growing up, and kept them silent by placing fear in them. It only started unravelling decades later when they grew up and got married on their own or left home. When they all broke down one by one the disaster that occurred is beyond belief. Marriages went by the wayside for all the females in the family, the mother, the sisters, one of which was my wife all ended their marriages within two years of each other. The father who did all this damage, damaged his wife, his children, their husbands and wifes and ultimately the grandchildren too, It goes down in family history as a shame a stain on the whole family not just one man. He damaged his daughters and sons by it all. His eldest daughter lost a husband and home because of him, his second daughter the same, one son is pot head and loser and the second runs around in women’s night gowns. Sad but true in all aspects, why because he was a religious hypocrite also, he attended catholic church each Sunday and Holiday, took communion and said his prayers, then when his wife went to work to help support the family he sexually abused and raped his own children. What kind of Church condones such things and what kind of man does such things to his own children? Sadly he was never arrested, because when I confronted my ex-wife about this, and she broke down she refused to turn him in, why, because he is her daddy!. No pressure, way of making her do anything like it at all, she just refused. So sadly due to his work and what he did, our children had to grow up without a father for 15 years. May God Bless and Change all of this is what I say.
I promised a rant on religion and Catholics and I have now given one here. hypocrites live large each day and none is more hypicritical than the churches and it’s so-called members who sexually harass, molest and destroy children!.
On a Separate note: totally different from my rant on churches and religion.
A story I wrote will be published on Long Story Short, on December 7th 2011. It is called The Importance of Christmas!. I hope some will take the time to read it and enjoy it, us writers write to be read no matter what we say.
