"Paedophilia is not a crime, it is a psychological illness, says Catholic Archbishop of Durban Wilfrid Fox Napier according to a report".....
Napier said in an interview on BBC Radio 5 that paedophilia was "a psychological condition, a disorder".
He said there was a difference between committing a crime and being a victim.
"If I – as a normal being – choose to break the law, knowing that I'm breaking the law, then I think I need to be punished," he said.
"Now don't tell me that those people are criminally responsible like somebody who chooses to do something like [crime]. I don't think you can really take the position and say that person deserves to be punished. He was himself damaged."
The Catholic Church has been accused of going to great lengths to cover up the sexual allegations against its priests over the years.
Napier said it was a condition that needed to be dealt with.

My GOD, is this how the mind of a Catholic Cardinal works?
These guilty priests, bishops and cardinals should all be burnt at the stake!
THE CHURCH REIGNS ABSOLUTE!
Bisexuality is a sickness, why does the catholic church not accept the fact?
These clergy should be kept in a dungeon away from helpless children.
How many children has the churches defiled and abused since their existence?
The church is a thriving business and does not save fallen angels.
Is there a 'Psychiatric Ward' at the Vatican for fallen priests, bishops and Cardinals?
Cardinal Napier needs to be given the rope...."Hang the Bastard"
ReplyDeleteGet rid and destroy of this type of scum on the earth .
Save our children...Save our Rhino's
1. I the LORD am your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, the house of bondage
ReplyDelete2. You shall have no other gods besides Me.
3. You shall not make for yourself a sculptured image, or any likeness of what is in the heavens above, or on the earth below, or in the waters under the earth.
4. You shall not bow down to them or serve them. For I the LORD your God am an impassioned God, visiting the guilt of the parents upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generations of those who reject Me, but showing kindness to the thousandth generation of those who love Me and keep My commandments.
5. You shall not swear falsely by the name of the LORD your God; for the LORD will not clear one who swears falsely by His name.
6. Remember the sabbath day and keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God: you shall not do any work—you, your son or daughter, your male or female slave, or your cattle, or the stranger who is within your settlements. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth and sea, and all that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it.
7. Honor your father and your mother, that you may long endure on the land that the LORD your God is assigning to you.
8. You shall not murder.
9. You shall not commit adultery.
10. You shall not steal.
11. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
12. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house.
13. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female slave, or his ox or his ass, or anything that is your neighbor’s.
In Arabic the word.............. ( Censored )........... means someone who doesn't believe in the unique god. It is also a very offensive word for a black person, used by white people in South Africa(taboo)
ReplyDeleteWhat other word does one the use for a non believer in the unique GOD.

ReplyDeleteABUSE IS CONDEMNED UNRESERVEDLY Comments Off
ReplyDeleteWe have learnt recently of the interview given by Cardinal Wilfred Napier on BBC Radio 5. Regretfully, we have not yet had the opportunity to listen to the interview or to read a transcript. We have not been able to contact the Cardinal. It is therefore not possible to react to that interview.
However the Southern African Catholic Bishops’ Conference is well aware of the devastation caused by sexual and other abuse of minors, both for the victims and their families and condemns all abuse unreservedly. The Conference has, for a number of years, had a protocol in place in which we outline how any allegation of abuse is to be handled. The Conference setup a Professional Conduct Committee which has published protocols for dealing with this scourge. The protocol is in force for all clergy and church workers in the region of the SACBC. For centuries there has been a veil of silence in the world surrounding child abuse and it is only in recent years that the matter is receiving the attention it deserves. Unfortunately there have also been failures on the part of the
Church.
Paedophilia is de facto a criminal offence and we will comply with the legal requirements when such cases come to our attention. Perpetrators must take responsibility for their actions.
Abuse of children is so widespread that there is an urgent need for a growth in knowledge and understanding of what causes an abuser to harm children, particularly when a perpetrator has himself/herself being a victim of abuse. Without such knowledge we will never be able to deal adequately with the matter and we will not be able to give adequate protection to our children.
