I grew up in a village that was 80% Catholic (I wasn't) I was always mystified by the rituals of the church and wanted to be Catholic like my friends. I am glad that wish didn't come true.

No prayer or confession will save them from these unforgivable sins.<br /><br />Children are precious to God:<br /><br />Psalm 127:3<br />Children are a gift from the LORD ; they are a reward from him.<br /><br />God declares all children and the innocent must be protected from harm:<br /><br />Jeremiah 22:3 New International Version (NIV)<br />This is what the Lord says: Do what is just and right. Rescue from the hand of the oppressor the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place.<br /><br />Jesus wants us to protect children and will not forgive those who harm children:<br /><br />Matthew 18:2-6<br />And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea."<br /><br />God will punish the child abusers and those who protect the abusers:<br /><br />Deuteronomy 10:18 <br />He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing.<br /><br />Deuteronomy 27:19 <br />"Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow." Then all the people shall say, "Amen!"<br /><br />Deuteronomy 32:35 <br />Vengeance is mine, and recompense, for the time when their foot shall slip; for the day of their calamity is at hand, and their doom comes swiftly.<br /><br />Ezekiel 25:17<br />I will carry out great vengeance on them and punish them in my wrath. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I take vengeance on them.<br />eroswingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678990077292314028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-12337744566246134872018-08-27T17:02:14.366+00:002018-08-27T17:02:14.366+00:00I was a quiet little bookworm as a child.

I feel that the church is not sorry for hiding and aiding what happened, they are only sorry that the numbers of parishioners are rapidly dropping and now are worried about the bottom line, too little, too late. The churches are empty here except for people 70 and over, the future is clear.Sooo-this-is-mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02001864616415319712noreply@blogger.com
