The Catholic Church has again been the centre of abuse claims from around the world. Are these isolated cases or is there a deeper problem within the church?

1 > The short answer is - Yes, there are deeper problems within the church regarding claims of sexual deviances. Reports have been around for a long while, even going back to Pope, John Paul II. News groups report credible evidence that the former Pope was aware that his Catholic Church comrades faced serious allegations that they had been guilty of, but via the Catholic Church they vowed to protect them, so long as they repent their sins. - Alas failing to stop the repulsive crimes that young minors had to endure. Sexual abuses of children continues today.

2 > The longer (debate) answer is - Yes, we live in precarious times, if you openly proclaim you’re Christian by proudly wearing a ‘gold cross,’ announcing to the world you’re beloved faith; and for that you’re condemned. Yet Christian members are dismissed from workplaces in Britain for showing a ‘love for God.’ By just wearing …show more content…
– In a Christian land, no organization can over-ride beliefs of any faiths but sadly Christians are paying not with their blood but with their jobs. Like in all faiths, the bulk of the matter is ‘when’ you believe, absolutely, that ‘God’ is ‘wholly’ in your life, any form of criticism is therefore inspired by the devil. From that moment on the capacity of logically rationalizing is limited, so in the UK, active Christians are losing jobs, wars are being played out till the last spill of blood, all in the name of 'their

    “Polite - or impolite - persecution, each form of discrimination bears its own dangers” (Editorial, The Catholic Times, 9th December). Even in science, education and a nativity scene spiritual warfare hides. Ben Stein’s DVD, “Expelled No Intelligence allowed” documents the academic persecution of scientists and educators who believe nature has design. Darwin’s theory, a bedrock of atheism/Russia/China and an increasing secular Britain rejects design.

    The Ethical Role Of Sexual Misconduct In The Church

    A. Sexual misconduct is a misuse of authority and power that breaches Christian ethical principles by misusing a trust relation to gain advantage over another for personal pleasure in an abusive, exploitative, and unjust manner. Even if someone such as a parishioner, client, employee or student initiates or invites sexual content in the relationship, it is always the responsibility of the church leader (pastor, elder, officer, employer, volunteer, counselor, supervisor, teacher or adviser) to prohibit a sexual relationship. B. Sexual misconduct is a violation of the role of any church leader (pastor, elder, deacon, officer, employer, volunteer, counselor, supervisor, teacher, or adviser of any kind) who is called upon to exercise integrity, sensitivity, and caring in a trust relationship. Sexual misconduct is also a violation of the covenant to act in the best interest of persons such as parishioners, clients, co-workers, employees, and students.…

    The Jesuits Controversy

    For as long as the Roman Catholic Church has been around, it has tried to solidify its control by strengthening its orthodoxy. One way the Church did this was through persecuting the populace for heresy. It is then ironic to find out that one of the churches most influential organizations, the Jesuits, were disbanded by the pope on rumors of heresy. The pope, Clement XIV, did not suppress the Jesuits for heresy but for more political reasons. After losing the support of Portugal, he dispersed the Order to appease the French and Spanish rulers in order to save face and keep their support.…

    The Plague: The Black Death In Europe

    The Black Death – as it is commonly called – especially ravaged Europe, which was halfway through a century already marked by war, famine and scandal in the church, which had moved its headquarters from Rome to Avignon, France, to escape infighting among the cardinals. In the end, some 75 million people succumbed, it is estimated. It took several centuries for the world's population to recover from the devastation of the plague, but some social changes, borne by watching corpses pile up in the streets, were permanent.

    Anomie In The 1800s

    The church acted much like tabloids today. Church officials use to track down participants in marital disputes and then hounded them for details of their sex lives. After hearing the details, they would often become partisan advocates for one party or another. Today, when marital disputes happen, they unravel in public or feuding spouses detail their grievances on television. What is different from then to today is that people now see doing this as a deterioration of standards of decency.…

    Temporary Gay Seminaria

    Temporary gay Seminarians are approved by the Vatican. The Vatican's new guidelines for seminarians is relaxing the rules on men with homosexual tendencies. The new guidelines are allowing seminarians with a brief homosexual tendencies problem as they continue to exclude some of the seminarians with deep-rooted homosexual tendencies. The present deep-rooted homosexual tendencies or support the so-called 'gay culture’ cannot admit to the seminary or to holy orders those due to their practices of homosexuality. Different, however, would be the case in which one were dealing with homosexual tendencies that were only the expression of a transitory problem, for example, that of an adolescence not yet superseded.…

    Premarital Sex Greeley Analysis

    Alexis Oyola Marriage and Family September 21, 2017 Critical Review #1 In Andrew Greeley’s article on “Premarital Sex”, he discusses the true reason for Catholics abstaining from sex. Greeley explains that a long time ago physical virginity was necessary to ensure that one’s land would be, without a doubt, passed on to their true kin (Greeley, Premarital Sex). By true kin, I mean that the child truly belongs to the husband. This was a cultural element that the Catholic Church had associated itself with, in a sense, and began to influence Catholics. Greeley’s argument is that sustaining from sex, chaste, is not because of physical virginity, but because of one’s beliefs of human love and their commitment to God (Greeley, Premarital Sex).…

    Great Western Schism Influence

    The Great Western Schism greatly damaged the influence, power, and standing of both the pope and the Roman Catholic Church during the Late Middle Ages, causing numerous negative effects on European society. As said by the website The Great Schism, “The schism did untold harm to papal prestige and intensified the growth of hostility to the papacy in many parts of Europe.” Throughout European history, the position of pope was one associated with great power and respect, and whatever the pope said was thought to be the absolute truth. However, due to the emergence of multiple popes, many people began questioning the importance and integrity of the pope, as well as their religion and faith as a whole. Some people began questioning whether the pope…
