Wolf in priest's clothing and there will be nun

(Corinthians 14:34) Religious institutions abhor interrogation. It destroys divine mystique, considering the fact that monks are God's own vessels who bring divine grace: their arms, if soiled, will soil God Himself. And this is now not an choice. The $30 billion Roman Catholic Church, one of the international's most effective establishments, will convey down the wrath of God on all and sundry who says in any other case. It can't find the money for to lose any of the 1.2 billion souls in its flock to doubt, and admit that a wolf in priest's clothing can debase and ruin God's lambs which come to them in right faith: nuns or little boys. A month ago, Pope Francis condemned corruption and cowl-up in the church as 'caca', an Italian word for human excrement. Italian creator-truth seeker Elias Canetti as compared guilt with excrement, kept sequestered inside the unconscious like lavatories in the house. Guilt is also the significant subject matter of Christian religion: being born itself is Original Sin. You can pass most effective downhill from there. 'Then the Lord God stated, 'It isn't properly that the person should be by myself; I will make him a helper match for him'.' (Genesis 2:18) Eve's lifestyles story in a Biblical nutshell. Now we can't have helpers giving lip to their masters, proper? Like the helper nun to the grasp bishop? Sex is the tabula rasa of misogyny inside the Abrahamic religions, which delivered warped gender values to the subcontinent: the core belief being there are best two types of women—Virgin Mary or Mary Magdalene. Hence there are Romeo squads, acid assaults on nikah halala sufferers and raped nuns and sodomised kids. There is also hope. There are compassionate clergymen. Politicians and judges who condemn bigotry. Reformers who venture the clergy and win. The church is losing believers and attendance more than another international religion. It is caught in a entice: danger Biblical inconsistencies being questioned or hang to medieval lore and lose connect to younger laity. It took 350 years for the church to admit Galileo changed into proper and the earth does indeed circulate across the solar: the Inquisition had arrested him for heresy. It is believed Galileo muttered 'eppur si muove' (and yet it actions) after his sentencing. The subsequent huge admission by way of all religions might be that the life of a girl does now not revolve around men's dreams.
