Ha! The holy trinity!
You managed to get me to laugh out loud and get Salt n’ Peppa stuck in my head from one little notecard. I hope you are proud! :)
umm…except there are no secrets that come with being a Catholic priest. Individual priests might have secrets, but so does nearly every man on this planet.

@Christina
You only believe there are no secrets with being a Catholic priest because you don’t know about them. They are well kept secrets.
@n0mia
I’m going to suppose you are being sarcastic.
Considering that the Catholic Church is the oldest and largest Christian denomination in the world I’d highly suspect that any secrets they have would have been outed a long time ago. The problem with secrets is that they never stay that way.
The laity can attend seminary classes and learn any “secrets” they might be teaching.
Perhaps it is referring to confession?
How about the Augusta National Golf Club.
@Zoxid,
That makes sense, because she paired it with the Masons it brought to mind strange secret rituals, which Catholics are frequently accused of having but don’t actually have.
@Christina, I take it you’re either a Catholic or very young? Either way, you clearly don’t know whether or not the priests have secrets because you are not one.
@Jamie re Leather Bars. LOL!
With the Catholic Church’s head-in-the-sand approach to clergy sex, the above-average record of molesting the kids in their care, and the long history of covering up the dalliances of it’s field reps, it really does seem that the single most dangerous thing a parent could possibly do to their child is take it to church.

The Catholic church has plenty of secrets. This fact is embodied in the Vatican Archives.
@Stripe: Worse yet would be taking children to public school.
Hahahahaha. The debate is totally about Catholic and everyone is just accepting of Freemasons. Oh There are female Freemasons! So there isn’t an intersection there in England.

@Kontributor: Well, had I not sold my own children into slavery some time ago, I would stick with pulic schools. At least there the pedophiles are excommunicated. But you can go ahead and send your kids to Father O’Touchmenot’s school for Divine Young Boys, or whatever…
@Anonymous
Vatican archives aren’t as secret as Dan Brown likes to make out. Sure you’re not allowed access to the archives themselves, but you can request a viewing of a document contained within the archives and it will be presented its not some secretive place filled with evil histories no one can view.
Coming from a confessed hater of the church as an organisation lol.
@Kontributor: Public schools don’t indoctrinate about one particular version of one particular religion.
Interestingly, the Catholic Church really dislikes the Freemansons. According to Wikipedia…
“The most persistent critic of Freemasonry has been the Catholic Church. Since the early 18th century, the Vatican has issued several papal bulls, banning membership of Catholics from Freemasonry under threat of excommunication.”
Those that don’t think there are secrets in the Catholic Church are 50% right 50% wrong… it is no secret the Catholic Church murdered millions of people for not being catholics… it was called the Inquisition, spanish for some, worldwide for most… more than any world war (including Hitler’s WWII and Joseph Stalin in his country)… but did you know some popes asked for forgiveness and then tried to canonize Queen Isabel of Castile… the one that most fanatically backed up the Inquisition?
Now don’t get me wrong… most catholics (members) are good people… is most of the clergy, all the way up to the top, that is not good people at all… and yes they keep secrets… like when priests rape kids and those on top move them to another city and keep quiet about these priests sins.
Sorry about the bitterness though.
Once again, we need a line graph with “religious references” on the x-axis, and “number of comments” on the y.
“Head in the sand”?

who’s head?

And another two things:
“most catholics (members) are good people…”?
Subtleties ahead! The Church teaches that, so far as people are made by God, they are good; so far as people sin, they fall into evil. The Church teaches that in the ordinary way of things, people are nowadays born under the stain of sin and that it pervades the world. So no, well-informed Catholics don’t believe that most Catholics are good people, measured by what they do.
“… is most of the clergy, all the way up to the top, that is not good people at all”
The Saints have taught that “the streets of Hell are paved with Bishops’ skulls”. But try to investigate what the Holy Father himself says on all these things!
Jesse is correct.
People today are programmed with opinions about the Church founded by Christ.
It seems like nobody, even many Catholics, knows anything about the Eucharist, and it’s no secret!
What a time to be ALIVE!
I knew a shit storm was going to happen in the comments once i saw catholic, ha Christianity in practice is great just like any other religion its just the basket-cases and extremists that **** it up like anything its good, in moderation…
I thought the pope, and by extension the church, was keeping the identities of the sexual predators secret…
In any case, can we all agree that there is no evidence of a god (any god) and that people just need to believe in supernatural powers without any way to logically support their beliefs? (That, in and of itself, is not good or bad — it just is. Your opinion on faith (not religious, but meaning, essentially, blind trust) is what colors this last statement “good” or “bad”, “right” or “wrong”.)
@Cascadia Girl:
my thought exactly!
Good one! :)
Freemasons, Cat’lick Priests, and Pro Football, NASCAR (except Danica…mmmmmmmm…), Bank Presidents, Penguins, ….the list goes on.

@Ryan McAlister
Whoever Christ was, it is clear that he had no intention of founding a new church. He was a Jew and only wanted to revise or correct some practices of the Judaic faith as it was being practiced at the time. He was probably influenced by one of the Jewish sects of the time such as the Sadducees.
Christianity ought rightly to be called, “Paulism”, if you are looking for the real founder.
@Godless Atheist:
You sound like me 30 years ago. Yes there is evidence.
I still don’t see evidence that any of man’s doctrines are “the way”, but I do see evidence of God. They are two very different issues.
Go on a nature hike and you’ll see evidence of a creation which implies a creator.
I soon realized my disagreement was with man, and not with God so I turned my back on the fanatics whether they call themselves the church, a priest, or an atheist. They all have the same zeal for putting down anyone who doesn’t agree with them.
I’m sorry, let’s be real here.
God is a wonderful Idea, but was thought up by humans.
No need to troll around on the internet making insane arguments, just to try to suggest otherwise.
-Good Day.
