General News Wow. So sad. And the Catholic church in the center of all the pain.

You are invited to read comments from readers. All the pain and suffering sickens me. Once again the Catholic church is in the center of creating misery.

From the article:
a) P. J. was happy enough until his teens, when he was called a “bastard,” and people avoided the pew he sat in, and girls at a dance tittered at the sight of him. “If the parents found out,” he said, “they’d tell them to keep away from that lad, you don’t know where he came from.”

He considered drowning himself in the fast-moving river that coursed through his foster father’s field. “The things that I was called,” he said. “I just thought everyone was against me.”

My comment: Judge and condemn. Got to teach and practice hate. People (Catholics) avoided the pew he sat in. Go to church practice hate and contempt. .

b) But perhaps the baptismal cleansing of their (babies, children) “original sin” was not enough to also wipe away the shameful nature of their conception.

My comment. Finding ways to judge and condemn people, even if they are babies and children. The babies and children had nothing to do with how they were conceived, yet Catholicism dictates they are bad.
