"Pope Francis Tells Nuns and Priests to Cool It with the Porn"

The bible says, "if you marry you do good, you don't sin"
And Peter the "first pope" had a wife.
Nowhere in the bible people are told to not marry as a commandment, its personal choice.

I was addicted to porn, i took this seriously since as a christian this is grave, it has been years since i quit, and haven't relapsed. Thanks God.
 
That's the title of this recent article:

Pope Francis Tells Nuns and Priests to Cool It with the Porn

I'm shocked by this. I'm not shocked that some nuns and priests look at porn. By "some", I'm assuming the number would be extremely small in relation to the number of religious. However, would Pope Francis tell nuns and priests to "cool it" on watching porn if it was only an extremely small number of them relatively speaking? It seems doubtful. That leads me then to think that the number is fairly significant. If so, I find that a bit shocking, disappointing and also a further erosion of trust likely among many Catholics who are already on shaky ground with their view of the church due to the monstrous, worldwide, pervasive sexual abuse scandals.

I have a reference in my notes to a St. Louis Archbishop who said "I didn't know sex with children was a crime." At first I thought he was being disingenous, but on further reflection; no - he said it because sexual abuse of children is in fact so normative within the Catholic church that he literally didn't know it was wrong. I don't think that's explicitly a Catholic problem, either.

Wow, that is unbelievably awful :(
I can't say I'm surprised though, having experienced sexual abuse as a child, myself...
 
Sorry to hear you had to go through it.

I think this is how the world works though. If you're familiar with George Carlin's "Big Club" routine - Link.

If you're in the "Big Club" you've been to a place like Epstein Island and done all the bad things to kids on camera, so you can be trusted not to develop a conscience and turn on the "Big Club."
 
Haven't received much feedback but is it just Hollywood elite that involved in rites to inherit material realm, what about access to industry and jobs?
I'm really interested in knowing how Ursula von lyden got so powerful and how meant to keep her under control?
I find it hard to believe there were no German ties since Germany has had lot influence on music, movies and other fields in last generation.

Suppose deutschbank isn't a lead, unless we gain access to any money transfers in/out of Epstein's account.
What was PayPal connection from technology companies who funded by gambling and porn?
Just curious if it's just an American problem?

One video claims to have drone footage to expose Epstein island, I wonder who leaked inside info and why they trying to make this an anonymous drone leak?

What was Epstein doing using Deutsche Bank?

Deutsche Bank to pay $75 million to Epstein victims in 'groundbreaking settlement,' lawyers say
 
Book of revelations outlines in last days and outcome of those who take from book or add to it.
Bible also warns that another church of devil will rise, we can't say it's specifically Catholic, it may be watered down Christianity that better aligns with diceiving people about what is actually sin, if one is religious?
Societies dogma created way for non-believers to conform, is it actually not better for non-believers to just simply leave church at free will. Hence, I disagree with preaching gospel anymore, only to those who are interested.

I'm not a Christian, ha-ha
That's because I'm Jewish, making me still a believer.

Being a Believer is boring, a little to much, invertedly fun in a Way

Qur'an 29:2 Do the people suppose that they will be let off because they say, ‘We have faith,’ and they will not be tested? 29:3 Certainly We tested those who were before them. So Allah shall surely ascertain those who are truthful, and He shall surely ascertain the liars. 29:4 Do those who commit misdeeds suppose that they can outmaneuver Us? Evil is the judgement that they make.
