Irish Bishops resign amid child abuse probe

Two more Roman Catholic bishops in Ireland have submitted their resignations following an investigation into widespread child sex abuse by priests.

Their action brings to four the number of bishops saying they are stepping down following the inquiry's criticism of the church.

The announcement that two more bishops were planning to step down came during Christmas mass in Ireland.

A statement by the bishops, Eamonn Walsh and Raymond Field, was read out to church worshippers at services across Dublin.

In it they said they hoped their resignation would help to bring the peace and reconciliation of Jesus Christ to the victims of child sexual abuse, though they both said they had done nothing wrong.

  1. Although the bishop of the child abuse scandal in Ireland will resign, will help the victims and their families who have been emotionally traumatized, not to forget the alienation from God caused by such “STALWART DEFENDERS” of religious faith! Where does the responsibility lie? Enforced celibacy has no biblical foundation at all! Why was it instituted in the first place? And why was such a perversion covered up for so long by an organization that claims to be the guardian of Christian ethics and morals? And why was this allowed by the authorities for so long? Were church and state in each other pockets? May we hope that the discussion with the Pope at the Vatican next week will HELP clear up ALL THE TRADITIONS AND PRACTICES, DOGMAS AND RITES that CONTRADICT the teachings of the greatest Prophet of all times, Jesus of Nazareth? AND PERHAPS, WHILE THEY’RE AT IT, start compensating for ALL THE wrongs DONE OVER THE ages?! What would Jesus of Nazareth say if He came to the Earth and saw what the church – which claims to speak for Him – has made of His life’s work? A small group in Germany called “The Free Christians for the Christ of the Sermon on the Mount in All Cultures Worldwide” is against such shameful sham Christianity. They announced a lawsuit against the Catholic Church. As they put it, they do not want to remain silent anymore on the “brazen labeling fraud,” with which Christ is mocked and His name abused to such an extent. They demand that the Catholic Church no longer call itself “Christian.”As a Christian. Perhaps your readers would like to check them out: http://www.christus-oder-kirche.de/christ-or-church/index.php There seems to be a grassroots movement to bring this up for discussion on the internet. Surely this could be very healthy for our society!

  2. Yes, because we have such a Christian following… hahahaha. Btw I think that the post Above this is Spam, but I’m going to leave it for humor sake.
