You’re proposing a “new revelation”? What’s the basis for this “new revelation”? And why should we care?

A new interpretation of the moral teachings of Christ, of Faith and the Resurrection opens the dark question of origins for all Christian traditions.

“Using a synthesis of scriptural material from the Old and New Testaments, the Apocrypha , The Dead Sea Scrolls, The Nag Hammadi Library, and some of the worlds great poetry, it describes and teaches a single moral LAW, a single moral principle offering the promise of its own proof; one in which the reality of God responds to an act of perfect faith with a direct, individual intervention into the natural world; correcting human nature by a change in natural law, altering biology, consciousness and human ethical perception beyond all natural evolutionary boundaries. Intended to be understood metaphorically, where ‘death’ is ignorance and ‘LIfe’ is knowledge, this experience, personal encounter and liberation by transcendent power and moral purpose is the ‘Resurrection’ ,the justification of faith and foundation of righteousness.”

Such a proof for faith isn’t suppose to be possible, but now it is! Revolutionary stuff?

What’s inexcusable is the cover up and the refusal to protect parishioners from priests who were accused of child abuse.

Of course, the principle of innocent until proven guilty applies to accused child abusers as well. But that is no excuse for failing to report and investigate allegations of child abuse.

Fundamentally, the Catholic Church suffers from the same deficiency as Mormonism. The authoritarian theology delegitimizes self-corrective institutional arrangements that would hold the powerful accountable.

I agree that the victims deserve financial support and compensation. It would be even better, however, if bishops who enabled continued child abuse went to jail.
