Catholic schools and ethics?
I have a lot of friends who went to catholic school, and ya catholic schools aren't as bad as some people make it out to be.
My sons school is not without its dirty little secrets too. The nuns have cooked the books so thoroughly that they are literally a burnt offering unto the Lord. A 12 year old student was molested early in the year, and the the nun described it as the teacher being in love with her. The guy was 40! Another 'instructor' was allowed to continue teaching for 5 months after coming to school multiple times under the influence of ketamine. The nun figured that he needed a chance to solve his problems, because he was a 'good Catholic'. Another teacher was beating the shit out of her grade 2 class, but since she too was a 'good Catholic' it was allowed to continue, even after other non Catholic teachers complained about it, students were withdrawn from the school and lawsuits were launched. One teacher, a non Catholic was fired for breaking up a fight between students in G. 6. He discovered three boys putting the boots to one other boy and one of the students reprimanded happened to be the son of a major contributor to the nuns. The fact that this kid was a known bully and rigleader meant nothing. Well money trumped morality, common in Catholicism, and the teacher was canned for traumatizing the bullies, after he yelled at them.
Part of the problem at my son's school is the fact that it is largely administered by Philipino nuns. Third World mentalities coupled with a lack of education is not a good mix. Needless to say, the school now finds itself in serious legal troubles and is in serious threat of being shut down. Reap what you sow.

No, not all are. Neither were all the Residential Schools that natives went too, but they all bear the taint of a few bad apples.
we need only one commandment: IF YOU DONT WANT IT DONE TO YOU..DONT DO IT TO SOMEONE ELSE

Doesn't that describe the attitudes of Christians in general? Regardless of what awful things you've done, if you hand your soul over to Christ, it'll all be forgiven. Seems to be a major flaw in the dogma of those who often claim to have a monopoly on morality.
I don't know how many times I've heard someone pardoned for their behaviour because they're "good Christians".
Yes, but in this case he continued to teach and come to school pissed and stoned out of his tree. The nun thought it was good for him to work his problems out in front of his class. Oh yeah, he was also their(the nuns) pick for the guidance counsellor and the ethics and morality class. I should mention that he was also a failed priest.

I have so 'broken' several of the big 10. Big deal! What the hell does that have to do with anything in this conversation? Again , please point out to me how I am 'pretending' to be anything!
I guess it's OK to 'fuck kids and beat them' because there is no COMMANDMENT saying not to!
It shows you are not a perfect person or any better then every other person out there. A sin is a sin and all people are sinners that is why Jesus died for all of them. So if you want to complain because someone touched you funny chances are you probably have stole something in your life time or done something wrong yourself. I’m not saying what happened to you is right in anyway but I don’t think how you are approaching or reconsolidating with it is really the right way to go.
If you dislike Catholicism that is fine but I wouldn't call it immoral or slander an entire organisation because you do not agree with it. When you do that you are targetting its followers as well which you know nothing about or have even ever met like my nana.
Also what happened to you could fall under:
"You shall not covet your neighbour’s house; you shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbour’s"
They were'nt after my donkey. They wanted my ass!!
Jesus didn't die for MY sins because I wasn't born yet. That is more catholic dogma. Which by the way, the vatican rewrites as it suits their needs.
NOTE: The vatican has announced recently that purgatory no longer exists,if in fact it ever did!
SOMEONE 'TOUCHED ME FUNNY'!!! A typical catholic response to a very serious and on-going problem. "It never happened and if it did, then it wasn't as bad as you say it was" !See if you still have that catholic mind-set after someone who is 3 feet taller and 175 pounds heavier is trying to ram their dick down your throat!FUCK OFF! Come back when you have some 'life experience'!
You obviously have no idea of what you are talking about. Talk about someone pretending, Why don't you explain to Lily and all the other Moms here EXACTLY what it feels like to be pregnant and give birth.
Or why don't you try to tell ME what it feels like to have a hand almost ripped off and how happy you are that after all the surgeries and therapy that you only really lost one finger!

He died for mankind in general which includes you. Anyway I guess this is a rant thread and can be expected for you and others to do such.
Well what do you want me to tell you? You got raped so you should hate everyone? I don't think so and if you do then you have issues and hating people is not going to solve them. As I said do you hate Jews because one did something that hurt you once? Or if an atheist punched you in the head are you going to think well all atheists must be violent? So why are you labelling all Catholics and their organisation? For someone who apparently has a greying beard you certainly do not show any age or really any maturity.
Also I’m not a Catholic by the way but I will stand up for the ones that are actually decent, loving, and caring people. As well as their churches that actually help communities.

Clogofpoo? Yes you really show intelligence.
First why would someone even post on an Internet forum that they were even raped? Especially to someone they don’t even know?
Second my only making light of it is because yogi just wishes to slander an entire people and organisation simply because he was touched funny. (What exactly do you want me to call it?) Also you have children are you going to teach them about the dirty Catholics or maybe about the "sleazy Christians" out there and have them grow up hating them? I guess because some used a bible to take advantage of people so they all must be paedophile monsters?

NOT MY POST BUT I WOULD BE HARD-PRESSED TO DISAGREE WITH THE ASSESMENT!
First why would someone even post on an Internet forum that they were even raped? Especially to someone they don’t even know?
WHAT? THE SHAME SHOULD BE MINE??? IT IS EXACTLY BECAUSE OF PEOPLE OF YOUR ILK THAT THESES HORRIBLE CRIMES ARE STILL BEING PERPETUATED. IT IS EXACTLY BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF WHO HAVE THE BALLS TO STAND UP AND SAY "NO MORE" THAT ANY OF THESE PEDOPHILES AND THEIR ENABLERS ARE BEING DRAGGED OUT FROM UNDER THE ROCKS AND HELD ACCOUNTABLE. i HOPE THE WHOLE ORGANIZATION GETS SUED INTO BANKRUPTCY AND THEN THOSE WHO ARE TRULY OF HEART-AND YES THERE ARE SOME- CAN REBUILD INTO WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE THE WORLD BELIEVE THEM TO BE NOW!
Second my only making light of it is because yogi just wishes to slander an entire people and organisation simply because he was touched funny. (What exactly do you want me to call it?)
CALL IT WHAT IT IS. RAPE! or THE MOST HEINOUS CRIME AGAINST THE HELPLESS. MAKING LIGHT OF THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE CATHOLIC RELIGION HAS DONE FOR YEARS!
I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR SELF-PITY NOR DO I 'WALLOW IN MISERY'. IT WAS A VERY UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCE.I HAVE MOVED ON...BUT TO DO AS ONE IDIOT SUGGESTED AND FORGET IT, THEN I WOULD BE NO BETTER THAN THOSE WHO CONDONE SUCH ACTIVITY BY REMAINING SILENT!

Bullshit! If you had "moved on" you wouldn't have posted it in here and you wouldn't be blaming the entire Catholic Church for the actions of one very sick preist.
Oh yes....and I didn't say to "forget it"....I said to grow up and get OVER it.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS AT FAULT FOR COVERING UP THE ATTROCITIES. BUT I DON'T EXPECT YOU AND YOUR KIND TO UNDERSTAND!
GOD HELP YOU,SHOULD ANYTHING OF THIS NATURE EVER HAPPEN TO YOU OR SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT. DO YOU THINK YOUR OPINIONS MIGHT CHANGE JUST A WEE BIT?
YOU TOO CAN FUCK OFF AND COME BACK WHEN YOU HAVE SOME LIFE EXPERIENCE. FUCKING TROLL!!
YOUR MUCH EASIER TO TOLERATE WHEN YOUR NOT AROUND!
I went to Catholic boarding school- Edmonton's infamous St. Mary's school for boys run by the Salisians. (Any other alumni out there?) Anyway, they used to smack us around a bit but I'll tell you that every time I was struck I deserved it. I never heard of any priest or Brother sexually assaulting anyone.
