MATTHEW 18:6-7
6 But who so shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
Of course it is meaningless drivel, a pseudo scientific survey of unknown methodology proclaiming kiwi women are the most promiscuous in the world.
Here is another piece from the Herald: Pope under fire in sex abuse scandal.
The Church is a hotbed of rampant sexuality, obviously a dangerous place for our children - meanwhile our own State Funded Television network beams good wholesome stuff like this into our living rooms every night.
So who are really the more dangerous to children, clergymen or the culture shapers who determine what we see our TV sets?
And if Kiwi women are really sluts as the first article implies is it abusive clergymen who are to blame or should we be looking elsewhere, perhaps starting with taxpayer funded television?
Of course Farrar went absolutely gaga over the Kiwi chicks have more sex story. Such a man-child. I just rolled my eyes after reading his post on it.
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question on what is worse, I don't know, but one obviously doesn't absolve the other. Certianly the clergyman abuse and secrecy resulting in more offending can't be excused in any sense. It is a great shame on the Church.
But I guess your point is that one is (rightly) condemned but the other is in fact encouraged.
Andrei's comments on Kiwi women having more sex partners, on the Kiwiblog thread, was the only sane voice in a sea on misogyny and moral confusion. At least one other reporter was able to recognise a problem in our culture of drunken young women.
ReplyDeleteWhen the world is obsessed with sex, it's "liberation".
ReplyDeleteWhen the church responds, it's "obsessed with sex".
