Dear runner,

You wrote;

" Foxy and and thinking people also can see that people develop all sorts of sexual and other desires as a result of many influences and experiences in life"

So what is it about being cloistered away with a bunch of celibate males in a seminary investigating the high intellectual leanings of your faith that led these men to have such high rates of abusers of children in their ranks, many many times that of the secular community? It exceeded over 20% in some orders.

What is it about the "influences and experiences" of leadership roles within the Christian faith which so drives the propensity for abusing children?

'What is it about the "influences and experiences" of leadership roles within the Christian faith which so drives the propensity for abusing children?'

yeah steelie probably only surpassed by the 'gay' community and Indigeneous communites including Maories in NZ. Maybe you could come up with the answers. Obviously most abuse among priests was with boys. Maybe if they weeded out those claiming to be born with a desire for other males many could of saved many. But then again you have never been interested in truth and facts so why now?

Hi Mikk,

So 'collective guilt' is alive and well ?

Peter Kurti, Spectator 25/6, asks us to compare what Folau said to the statement made by reporter, Nikki Gemmell in The Australian that:

"all male gynaecologists are sadists bent on inflicting pain and humiliation on vulnerable women."

Kurti, and possibly others, finds that much more offensive than anything Folau said.

Government subsidies to Rugby Australia have been brought up today because of the Folau affair.

Rugby Australia received $28.4 million from taxpayers over the last two years.

"Given that Australian taxpayers have been committed by our elected representatives to support the code, the near-silence of the political class in defence of free speech in no way encourages faith that they will be any less supine in defending other liberties".

Mikk & Foxy
Folau did not accuse any person of those sins.
It was a quote as a personal opinion and he is totally permitted to
say it or write it.
If you do not believe in hell then why are you so upset ?
Goodness me, people can write or say that Communism is a good thing
despite it caused the death of millions.
If you were an employee of mine and said that what would be your
reaction if I sacked you for saying/writing that ?

Now don't say that religious rules are different to politics or the
moslems will probably kill you for blasphemy !
To be consistent you must ban Islam.

The law is supposed to support difference in employment, not
discriminate and apply employer rules outside work.
Just think where that could end with the millions of employers that we have.
