The failure of Catholicism: time to look at another religion that does not require celibate priests?

When I was a naughty, disobedient, rude little girl living in a different country, I was told I should watch myself or else I would be sent to a home.

If I was ungrateful to my parents I would soon learn the fate of those who had no parents to be ungrateful to.

Of course, I did not know until now what exactly was meant by this.

I am not therefore very surprised that sadists and paedophiles would go to where the pickings and victims would be most plentiful and vulnerable - in care homes and orphanages. That is what I would do too, if I were a sadist and paedophile.

The Irish may now wish to examine a different religion other than one that demands celibacy from a corrupt priesthood.

Islam is a religion that does not give a special status to those who claim they have given up sex. It is a practical, worldly religion that enjoins its adherents to go forth and multiply within wedlock, amongst other things.

At such a low point of Christianity, it surely behoves a government to examine the uses of religion and what it might do for the state in terms of assisting citizens to be better people. If something tried and tested, such as Catholicism, is now broken in reputation and beyond repair, then it is time to look at a different religion.

(Of course, I do not expect the cowardly, hypocritical and demented UK political establishment to be doing anything of the sort. They will see it as their bounden duty not to discuss anything controversial to avoid the deadly sin of offending anyone at all. There is a general election coming up and their strategy will be not to do anything other than make promises to us that they are incapable of keeping.)

Islam, it has been said, is the middle way between capitalism and socialism, between feminism and female oppression.

It would certainly help if more people would read the Koran, but most will not, out of militant atheistical pride, sloth and simple swine-like unquestioning contentment with their lot.
