In its first revision of church law in four decades, the Vatican revised its code to criminalize sexual abuse of adults by priests and laypersons of the church, outlaw the grooming of victims and say bishops can be removed from office for failing to report crimes.

That’s not true…
Through Jesus Christ’s blood ALL sins are forgivable and washed / erased away….
If Jesus doesn’t hold these priests of high caliber accountable of their actions then why should the humanbeings hold these cardinals accountable….
No. 2 : all they need to do is go to the Pope on Sunday’s and get their sins absolved and are free once again….
The people who are holding these people accountable cannot be Christians too, for they’re not acting like the way Jesus acts …
Sexual abuse in the Catholic Church has been making headlines for years. Some priests have been punished, but what about the bishops who shielded them?
I was groomed by a Catholic priest at my local church and it caused me great distress. I finally decided to take this matter to the church officials .
Catholicism is NOT and NEVER HAS represented Christianity. They represent themselves! Money/power!! Disgusting…
The Catholic Church is a pedophile magnet a sick criminal organization under the guise of Christianity always has been always will be…a depraved disgrace!
This broke the Catholics mafia hold on Ireland when the non stop drip of school abuses and graves just kept on coming .
Hundreds of Graves of Children are Being Found All Over Canada On The Premises of Roman Concentration Camps
(Catholic Residential Schools)
These scandals have been ongoing for decades and they decide to change Cannon law no. Absolutely riduculous.
“Keep young g/ for yourselves”
—Numbers 31:18
But bill Cosby…. gets real Time …. the Catholic church is a joke I'm very perverted
Dasar umat jingkrak-jingkrak
Shamefil! They need to remove the guilty child molesters! No place for them in God's Almighty Congregations! 🌎😱
The Catholic Church is of Satan.
They teach you have to merit your salvation. A lie.
Jesus died for your sins. Your personal sins. Come to him broken and contrite.
Luke 5:31-32
Romans 10:9-13
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV ❤️
It’s a personal relationship. Not some organized religion.
Philippians 3:10
KJV ❤️
Too little too late. Considering that the Behaviour described is already a crime, I suspect the same passing it off covering it up won’t change very much. Whatgood does the Catholic Church do? When your history is to actively cover up the most heinous crimes against your followers your parishioners those you are supposedly caring for, and the brutalized and terrorized
Forgive them their sins and get them out…
Yah think?!!!
It is good that the Church took a stern measures in line with the Catholic teaching. It requires lot of courage and humility….unlike others may just sweep it under the carpet.
Remember we are all called to be Saint in heaven. In God's eye, we are all sinners, we need to repent, be merciful and seek compassion from God.
It is easy to condemn others but be on guard on our sins too…..pray for everyone too.
😅
So now the Catholic Church had to get with Human Resources to do a policy?? Got it👍🏾🙄
progress? it's always been illegal. what a bunch of immoral backward a-holes.
Screw religion!!
Too little, too late.
Welcome to the 21st Century 12th Century Institution
The light is starting to shine on the evil schemes of satan and bring light to those who are blind to the truth
The Catholic Church has enabled sexual child molestation for years! It’s utterly disgusting!
Too little. Too Late.
Decades late… decades of stains..
What about the CARDINALS!! …and the popes? Who was caught? A cardinal…
👎👎👎 Religious Pornographers do nothing to help the children of sexual abuse and why aren’t the authorities meaning the Police and FBI whoever conducting The investigations arresting these religious bums.It’s mind boggling the church is a head of the investigations it’s laughable there’s no justice in this world these religious sickos need to be put away in prison for life it’s. Don’t give the church anymore money 💰
What kind of religion is that?
This is a cult that's all it is I feel sorry for the people keep believing God knows they do but you got to know these pedophiles have hijacked your religion 😞
Why don't the police go in and snatch them off the altar and arrest them
Is this a joke 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Can't wait for our lives savior Jesus Christ to come and stop everything 🙏
I notice they don't mention children….
Watch the dominoes fall*pass the popcorn 🍿 **munch*-**😁👏🏽👏🏽
How many years have they gotten by with that. Are they going to start with the Pope?
…
Wtf took so long?!?
Well DUH!!!
RAPING and MOLESTING and GROOMING CHILDREN already WAS against the law and criminal FFS . The fact that they actually just came out and said these things are "now criminal" , like it wasnt before , or like they didnt know it was illegal or wrong before so they had to implement a "new law" stating it , and so that now they can claim that anything that went on until now wasnt wrong/illegal , doesnt count , cant be held responsible or accountable for etc is absolutely sickening , disgusting and appalling .
If you study the history of mankind, the origin of god, and various religions HARD. Really STUDY it, you will realize what a farce it all is.
You can try to polish a turd but its still crap
How To Study And Understand The Quran ?
> Unfortunately <
We are only taught how to '' recite '' the Quran without the >> Understanding of the Quran << and we rely fully on other people interpretation rather than understand Allah's guidance directly.
The Quran is like book of ( Ayah's Jig Saw Puzzles Pieces ) that you need to find how one piece of Ayah's puzzle related to the other piece of Ayah and connect them together to understand the full meaning of all other related Ayahs.
Use the Quran as Ayah's of Jigsaw Puzzle Pieces and put them together.
Before you come to any conclusion about a single Ayah's understanding or its meaning you MUST look for other Ayahs related to the > Same Subject < and than you will find perfect meaning of that Ayah.
Note: Do not take meaning of > single Ayah < in isolation.
One Ayah or Verse can have two meaning
The Qur'an is a book of God's introduction of Himself to humanity and His guidance, His solutions, His laws, His warning, His rewards, His Ayahs, His Do's and Dont's and its contains Science, Stories and Human history its require ingenuity in ascertaining its answer or meaning.
There are many Ayahs has hidden meaning you need to > PONDER < upon it.
God sent the Quran to All the humanity >> to Read it, to Understand it, to Obey it << '' NOT '' just for scholars of the '' PAST '' and present to study the Quran.
And the scholars of the '' PAST '' and present can be > wrong < in there interpretation of the Quran and Islam.
Does Allah want you to study the Quran yourself or He want you to learn the Quran from scholars of the '' PAST '' ?
The Quran is NOT a > Magical Book < to ''gain rewards'' by reading it > Mindlessly < but the Quran is God's commandments for you to obey so you avoid hellfire.
The Quran was revealed to guide us along the straight path, towards our Creator. It is wisdom, it is a guide, it is a code of conduct, it is the criteria for right and wrong.
Allah sent the Quran for ''YOU'' to ''study'' NOT just for scholars and educated people.
The Quran is a > God's Personal Letter < for ''YOU'' to read it, to understand it and to obey it so ''YOU'' avoid hellfire.
So read the Quran in the language you understand the BEST.
Becoming Hafiz / Reciter of the Quran is '' Meaningless '' if you do NOT understand the Message / Letter of Allah.
*…The Quran should be read very very very slow not to '' Rush '' but to > ponder < upon it.
Quran 20:114
'' So high [above all] is Allah , the Sovereign, the Truth. And, [O Muhammad], do not >> hasten << with [recitation of] the Qur'an before its revelation is completed to you, and say, "My Lord, increase me in knowledge."
*…The Quran is the criterion for right and wrong to know the truth and the falsehood
Quran 25:1
'' Blessed is He Who has revealed ( Quran ) unto His slave the Criterion (of right and wrong), that he may be a warner to the peoples.''
*…The Quran sent as a book of > guidance < to your life and mercy to humanity.
Quran 7:52
'' And We had certainly brought them a Book ( Quran ) which We detailed by knowledge > as guidance < and mercy to a people who believe.''
*…The Quran is sent to warn evil doer and good news for doer of good
Quran 11:2
'' (It teaches) ( Quran ) that you should worship none but Allah. (Say): "Verily I am (sent) unto you from Him to > warn < and to bring > good news < ''
*…The Quran is the '' BEST '' Tafseer ( explanation ) of itself
Quran 25:33
'' And no example or similitude do they bring (to oppose or to find fault in you or in this Quran), but We reveal to you the truth (against that similitude or example), and the > better Tafseer < explanation thereof.''
*…The Quran contain no contradictions
Quran 4:82
'' Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an? If it had been from [any] other than Allah , they would have found within it much contradiction.''
*…The Quran is to guides you with clear evidence
Quran 22:16
'' And thus have We sent the Qur'an down as verses of > clear evidence < and because Allah guides whom He intends.''
*…The Quran message is the same as previous books
Quran 23:68
'' Do they not > ponder < over the Word (of Allah), or Was it different from what was revealed to your > forefathers? < ''
*…The Quran should be read to > understand < and '' obey '' Allah's commends
Quran 38:29
'' (This is) a Book (the Quran) which We have sent down to you, full of blessings that they may > ponder over its Verses < and that men of understanding may > remember.<''
*…The Quran should be guide book for your life
Quran 47:24
'' Then do they not > reflect upon < the Qur'an, or are there locks upon [their] hearts? ''
*…The Quran is > easy to understand < if you pay ''attention''
Quran 54:17
'' We have made the Quran > easy to understand < but is there anyone who would pay > attention < ? ''
*…The Quran no human can alter its purity
Quran 56:77-79
'' Indeed, it is a noble Qur'an, Which none can touch but the purified ''
*…Allah promised Only preservation of the Quran and ''NO'' promised for the preservation Prophet's Islam.
Quran 15:9
'' Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian.''
Sadly Muslims do not ''study'' the Quran but only > recite with tajweed < like a parrot do > without understanding <.
Muslim ''recite'' the Quran and ''studies'' the Hadith
Muslim you ''recite'' God's words and YOU ''studies'' man's words?
Whats wrong with you Muslim?
Remember: all the Islamic scholars, Sheiks, Muftis, Mullahs, Imams, Quran's teacher they all studies the Hadiths, Seerah, Sharia, Tafseer, Fiqh but NOT the Quran.
Allah want you to '' understand '' the Quran And > obey < His commands so you avoid hellfire.
Quran 25:30
" Then the Messenger ( Muhammad 'saw' ) will say: "O my Lord! Truly my people ( Muslims ) took this Qur'an for just > foolish nonsense < "
* The scholars of the ''PAST'' / The first three generations of Muslims and the Prophet (saw) did '' NOT ''
know existence of '' science '' in the Quran.
Quran 41:53
We > will soon < ( In Future ) show them ''Our signs'' in the ''Universe'' and in their ''own souls'' ( human anatomy ) until it will become quite ''clear'' to them that it is the ''truth'' Is it not sufficient as regards your Lord that He is a witness over all things?
Did the scholars of the ''PAST'' understood the ''whole'' Quran? NO
Conclusion:
* The Quran is a book of guides which show you how to > qualified < to go to the Paradise.
* '' YOUR " birth in the Muslim's family is NOT a > qualification < for to inter the Paradise.
* '' YOUR " religion / sect / long beard is NOT a > qualification < for to inter the Paradise.
* Memorizing the ''whole'' Quran is '' NOT '' a > qualification < for to inter the Paradise.
* You '' MUST '' know how to became > qualified < for to inter the Paradise.
* Obeying the Quran make you > qualified < for to inter the Paradise.
* The Quran is a book of > Mercy < from the God which ''guides'' you that how should you >Behave< toward other human being / animals.
* On the day of judgement God will ''NOT'' judge humanity bases on Muslim VS non-Muslim but doer of goods VS doer of evils
* On the day of judgement '' YOU '' will be standing ( alone ) in the front of God and He '' alone '' will decide you fate Heaven or Hellfire.
Quran 18:110
'' Say: (O Muhammad ) "I am but a > man like yourselves < (but) the inspiration has come to me, that your Allah is one Allah: whoever expects to meet his Lord, let him work righteousness, and, in the worship of his Lord, admit no one as partner.''
Quran 9:116
'' Indeed, to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; He gives life and causes death. And you have not > besides Allah < any protector or any helper.''
O Muslim who are " YOURS " intercessors / helpers beside Allah ?
Quran 10:18
'' And they worship besides Allah things that hurt them not, nor profit them, and they say: "These are our intercessors with Allah." Say: "Do you inform Allah of that which He knows not in the heavens and on the earth?" Glorified and Exalted be He above all that which they associate as partners with Him!''
Quran 4:41
'' How (will it be) then, when We bring from each nation a witness and We bring you (O Muhammad SAW) as a witness against these people ( Muslims ? ) ''
* The Prophet said to his daughter: O Fatima, I have nothing which can > help you against Allah < you may ask me what you want of my worldly belongings… >Sahih< Muslim 205
* On the day of judgement God will show you a movie about all the thing '' YOU '' used to do GOOD and BAD.
Quran 99:6-8
'' That Day, the people will depart separated [into categories] to be shown [the result of] their deeds. So whoever does an atom's weight of good > will see it < And whoever does an atom's weight of evil > will see it <''
* The > qualification < for to inter the Paradise is > Faith in God and Good Work <.
Quran 2:82
'' And those who > believe < ( In God ) and > do righteous deeds < those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide therein eternally.''
* Very soon you will die, everything you owned today you will left them behind.
* One day you will meet your God and He ''alone'' will decide your fate either Heaven or Hellfire.
* Achieving a place in the Paradise should be > Your Purpose Of Life <.
May God guides you in your journey to the Paradise..!!
Yea down with Vatican
