British Cardinal admits to sexual misbehaviour

Posted By: Newstalk 1010 · 3/3/2013 4:19:00 PM

The cardinal who until recently served as Britain's highest-ranking Catholic leader has admitted to unspecified sexual misbehaviour & promised to play "no further part" in the public life of the church.

Cardinal Keith O'Brien resigned Monday from his position as archbishop of St. Andrews & Edinburgh after a newspaper published accounts alleging that priests had accused him of misconduct.

O'Brien initially rejected the claims, saying he was resigning because he didn't want to distract from the upcoming conclave to pick a new pope.

But on Sunday the Church of Scotland issued a statement quoting O'Brien as saying that there had been times "that my sexual conduct has fallen below the standards expected of me as a priest,
archbishop and cardinal.''

    The Bible should be banned!

    Here are several really loving excerpts from the Torah; the first five books of the Old Testament in the bible -- perhaps read to the congregation on Friday night at a synagogue or a Sunday morning church in the meadow.

    1. Kill any friends or family that worship a god that is different than your own. Deuteronomy 13:6-10
    2. Kill all the inhabitants of any city where you find people that worship differently than you. Deuteronomy 13:12-16
    3. Kill everyone who has religious views that are different than your own. Deuteronomy 17:2-7.

    Rabbinical / Priestly rules:
    Leviticus 21:17-18 … “No one who is blind or lame or has a defect or any blemish may approach to offer the bread of his God.”
    Leviticus 18:22 … “You are not to go to bed with a man as with a woman; it is an abomination ….”

    Rabbis; the pope and churches fully aware that Leviticus 18:22 applies to rabbis and priests … refuse to remove this stigma maliciously persecuting gays. Kids are being bullied into suicide …!

    Being black, left-handed or being gay is just as natural. It is a sometimes rare occurrence to fall in Love and to hold that person in your heart and be loved in return ... it is something that should be celebrated! If it’s between two guys or two girls -- all the better. It takes even more courage to defend that LOVE!

    It is written; so therefore it shall be? We are the chosen people; such a wicked fantasy.

    I am the son of a catholic father who never went to church and a protestant mother who took us to church and Sunday school. Onward christian soldiers; I think not. Such absolute drivel. To be manipulated by a santa claus; an easter bunny and worst of all a bogus cross?

    It’s now time to shut down the synagogues and churches with the torah & bibles with Leviticus 18:22 and Deuteronomy 13:12-16. To see the religious lunatics manipulate government and peoples’ lives -- is shameful.

      @MACDONALDBANK I am beginning to agree wit this theory more and more. It seems religion is ruining mankind and the world we live in. I have always believed you are either a good person or not a good person. Religion doesn't alter that fact.
