The hedonism which inevitably develops out of the rejection of God and objective truth and morality make people incapable of discernment and the appreciation of truth and beauty. The false ideologies of relativism, socialism and atheism breeds hedonism, hatred and violence, and particularly a hatred of reason, part of which is our moral judgment. This lack of reason and uncontrolled emotion was also evidenced in the competition for the Presidency where the Media and a certain political "elite" were able to lead the public by the nose. The same phenomenon accounts for the absurd responses to the survey on the prevalence of child abuse by Catholic priests (besides which, the majority of 3 per cent accused has never been found guilty by a court). Prejudice against and persecution of Catholics and those who espouse morality, is also a consequence of the relativism and hedonism which Ireland has lately adopted.

I now play my victim card to say I want more discussion, especially about non church abuse, which constitutes most abuse in this country. I don't think Jesus would deal with the sexual abuse of children with silence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496103327369055047.post-47032818903721536962011-11-02T17:52:13.216+00:002011-11-02T17:52:13.216+00:00Dear Anonymous, I think it is necessary "to k...Dear Anonymous, I think it is necessary "to keep going on about it".

Do you think Jesus Christ would keep going on about the subject? I don't think so. Your job is to be a priest to minister the sacraments leave all judgements and comments to God who sees all and let the victims rest in peace please. God bless you and all your good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
