Homosexual abuse by Catholic priests.
(1 Tim 4:1-5 NIV) The Spirit clearly says that
in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and
things taught by demons. {2} Such teachings come through hypocritical liars,
whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. {3} They forbid people
to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be
received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. {4} For
everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received
with thanksgiving, {5} because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.
The root of the problem is that the Catholic church forbids marriage by
priests. Marriage and sex is natural, it is not forbidden in the bible. Indeed,
in the bible, leaders are encouraged to be married. The problem, is not
pedophile priests, but because marriage is denied to those who have the gift of
priesthood. To forbid people to be married is the doctrine of demons and was
introduced by the reprobate catholic church of the middle ages so that the
priest would leave his inheritance to the church rather than his wife. Such is
the love of money. Such is the result of bad doctrine.
