  Man accused of attempted murder of priest acquited

  by YERU2 in

  the man who admitted he attempted to murder the priest whom he accused of molesting him 10 years earlier was acquited.

  mind you, the priest was never convicted on any charges.

  because one law is violated, it's ok to break another law?.

  I accept at face value that the priest molested this guy, this still doesn't make the attempted murder ok.

  I'm hoping the board will see this as a travisty of Justice, otherwise, lets look to see a lot of homemade justice against those who are merely accused of a crime.

  Believers, why does God need your flattery?

  why would an all knowing master of space and time feel the irrepressible need to be adored by mere insects (relatively speaking), and indeed punish them in the most absolute of terms if they fail in this task?

  indeed it makes god seem very human, although rather immaturely so.

  we expect such behavior from schoolyard bullies, megalomaniac dictators and small children who demand adoration from their beaten dogs.

  God doesn't punish us, simply, we are eternally seperated from him.

  About the immigration....do you really think a million arabs decided to move into the most miserable area there is? the gaza strip and west bank? why in the world would they have done that?

  To defend "the third holiest site in Islam" The same reason why Muslim terrorists fly into buildings. The Mufti, as early as the 1920's was encouraging Arabs to move into the area to defend Al Quds (Jerusalem). The Al Aqsa Mosque, up until this time, was almost completely abandoned. The myth of Jerusalem and Al Aqsa being the third holiest site in Islam was invented by Arafats great uncle, who was the Egyptian born and appointed Mufti of Jerusalem.

  I will concede, however, that I missed the bit in the article about the half million arabs there in 1900. I still question the figure, but it was in the article.

  What makes the BBC so neutral. That's like saying the American press is nuetral, we both know that isn't the case. An undercurrent of Antisemitism has run through the British government since just after the Balfour agreement. The British Mandate Authority in Palestine restricted Jewish immigration, forcing many Jews to return to Europe after the second world world, while doing absolutely NOTHING to stem the flow of Arab immigrants. The British government stood squarely in the road of the establishment of a Jewish State, which is why the "Two State" solution was offered by the United Nations.

  Again, your BBC report gives absolutely NO figures for what the Arab population of Palestine was in 1900, it only says that in 1922 the entire population of the area was about 3/4 of a million, and that about 500,000 of those were Arab.

  Arafat isn't even "palestinian" he was born in Egypt. Like many other Arabs he immigrated into the area. Some before the 1948 Arab Israeli war, some after. When the Arab nations that dispossessed the 600,000 jews in Arab nations during 1948 reimburse the Jews for their lost property, maybe we can start talking.

  The British government, though, was anything but "neutral".

  Most priests would tell you that the communion issue is between you and God. On the other hand some would be sticklers for the letter of the Law. I like confession and find it in scripture, sorta, so I do the confession thing.

  JST2,

  Nope, Law was forced to make the revelations he did. He's not the scapegoat but the perpetrator of a horrible crime. While no evidence exists that would indicate that Law himself is a pedophile, he protected pedophile priests. I'm overjoyed by his resignation and hope that the DA slams him with RICO predicates.

  DarkHorse,

  I've spent all morning going over Canon Law and can find no validation of the priest's ascertation that by attempting marriage outside the faith you would have been imposed with Excommunication. In other words, the priest was making this sh*t up.

  By attempting a civil marriage you would have been restricted from receiving communion and and the sacrament of reconciliation (confession). However, with the first divorce just a good confession was all that was needed to put you back in good standing with the church. To have married in the church with your husband you indeed would have needed an Annulment. This would have been a "simple declaration of nullity" with the grounds being "lack of form." This generally only takes a week to a month, and should be free...mine was. You could indeed have your marriage to your husband "convalidated" if you so desired. Even if they do charge a fee, this would be waivable. They wanted $250.00 to do my annulment, I gave them JACK.

  What this money is used for is to help pay the expenses of the marriage Tribunal which generally has Canon Lawyers, Psychologists, etc.
