Catholic Church: Anti-human and morally depraved
In March this year, a nine-year-old girl was raped in Brazil. This vile deed resulted in the child becoming pregnant and so naturally her family arranged for her to have an abortion. This was the rational, moral and caring thing to do. But the family belonged to the Catholic Church which took a very different view: the abortion was a mortal sin and all those who took part – the parent, medical staff, etc – were excommunicated. As a show of leniency, the bishop withdrew the excommunication of the child.
But this was no local aberration of a policy of human caring and love. No – the pope himself has declared that there is no wiggle room, there is no mercy, there are no special circumstances: everyone in an abortion will be excommunicated.
“Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense. The Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life,” reads the statement, which widely cites past Vatican documents. “The Church does not thereby intend to restrict the scope of mercy. Rather, she makes clear the gravity of the crime committed, the irreparable harm done to the innocent who is put to death, as well as to the parents and the whole of society.”
People don’t matter. Suffering is of no concern. Human kindness does not flow. No, what matters to these vicious pointy-hatted hate-mongers is Church doctrine. This is the reams and volumes of nonsense dreamt up by generations of sexually repressed, hate-filled ego maniacs. Their ludicrous claims of divine inspiration are used to provide legitimacy – the authority – to their pronouncements.
And so they were excommunicated, another bit of doctrine dreamt up by these holy horrors. Excommunication is a very handy tool in the hands of an evil and corrupt organisation. It is their ultimate source of power and the ultimate weapon to use against your enemies and resentment-filled minions. The threat of excommunication is enough for them to think twice about even questioning the Vatican’s authority.
To a practising Catholic, excommunication is a big deal. It means being burnt in the sulphurous fires of hell for all eternity. Think about that. If you believed this odious drivel it would mean you would live the rest of your life in abject terror of what is about to come. Unimaginable pain and suffering, without any letup, for ever and ever. This is not a light sentence. It is a thoroughly evil idea.
And even though the little victim was not excommunicated, it means that she could live with a lifetime of psychological trauma believing her parents were subject to this fiendish fate.
The Catholic Church has shown itself by its actions and doctrines to be a thoroughly nasty, immoral gang. To the ordinary Catholic: your church hates you. Leave it.

The Catholic Church is right in teaching that all abortion is immoral, because ALL human life is precious. The rape of a nine-year-old is a horrible crime, and the monster who did this should be punished. However, abortion simply compounds the tragedy, and forces the infant to pay for the crime of the father.
Many women who have suffered sexual assault, then had an abortion, have said that it compounded their suffering – not lessened it. A much better alternative is adoption. If you’d like to read one example, pick up a copy of Lee Ezell’s “The Missing Piece.”
You seem to have a lot of venom about the Church. I’ve encountered this from time to time, and it saddens me. I joined the Church when I was thirty, and it was the best decision of my life. The sacramental life and sense of tradition that I’ve experienced there have been a positive, life-affirming force in my own life.
People let us down sometimes (for example, one priest or religious sister who said or did something to offend you). That doesn’t make the institution they represent automatically false or evil . . . or untrue.
God bless you.
Heidi: If you’re implying that I am not keen on the Catholic Church because I was somehow abused or offended by someone within it, then you’re mistaken. I was never a Catholic and don’t recall ever being treated in an uncivil way by any of the many Catholics I’ve known. I just know evil when I see it.
Tell me what you're thinking...
