Who are yiou referring to?

Yes i understand that, but the policy in the church as i know it, is to remove the priest and send him to another monastery...as far as I know, if a priest buggers a child there is no rule that the priest should be defrocked....i have never seen this....nor heard of it....

Sorry, I understand why you might think I am naive. However in Buddhism its a one strike policy. I am sure there have been many who have done it..no doubt although I do not personally know anyone. However the stakes are high, I do not know the rules in Catholicism, in Judaism and Islam it is quiet ok to have sex with an underage person if they are Goyim or infidel. Buddhism has no such rules...it is not ok, never for a monk to have sex with any being at all...this is my point.

So if they did do it, I am stunned at how they got away with it....I think it can be only two main reasons 1. Every monk in that particular monastery was doing it, so therefore it is premeditated and even more sinister and deifes all logic of Buddhism. 2. It was one or two monks and the other monks didn’t know it was going on. Once found out, these monks would, should disrobe immediately and then face the legal consequences of their actions if the victims were children.

If the monks did this for a long time, it baffles my mind how they got away with it with no one saying anything....I am not questioning the claims, just questioning the rules and regulations of that monastery....maybe they weren’t practicing the rules at all? I dont know...whatever it is, it is frightening and needs to be condemned.

What I am getting at , there is no rape culture in Buddhism. if you rape you are out on your own, and the monks will not defend you if it is true. You will be left poor and to deal with the consequences.

There is also the case where there are writers who don’t report accurately as well, and this is a problem too...and not to mention those who want to bring Buddhism down, please dont deny this...

So the Truth here is, no monk can have sex of any kind, so if they did...in Lord Buddha’s eyes (as is quoted in the rules) that person in no longer a monk and cannot call himself a monk nor represent the Buddha or his teachings in anyway, as the Buddha made it clear that Monks are not to engage in any sex whatsoever, not even masturbation.... Sooooooo if a monk has sex, that monk in the Buddha’s eyes, is no longer affiliated, defeated and can never be a monk again as long as he lives.....

No the monks in myanmar follow the same rules...and most articles on the matter are not accurate and usually by people who want to push a narrative..however our subject is child abuse...so i will stick to that, if you ant to go down the killing rabbit hole i suggest you do some deep research on the myanmar issue before making up your mind...have a nice day.

I'm sure everyone here, whether they are Catholic or not (which has nothing to do with it) are aware of the involvement of the Vatican/RCC in sexual abuse of children by their priests.
And that's true all over the world where major scandals of sexual abuse of children have occurred.

Vatican "Church" is the seat of Christianity .... those who broke away are called by other names... Protestants of various sorts. And the Orthodox. There is no Christianity without the Vatican/RCC which came first.

Odd that you should suggest that "Christian" are less likely to rape kids than non-Christian men....

I bet if you did a study, Christian men were less likely to rape kids than non Christian men. Less likely than gay men! . Less likely than gay men!"<

Actually, if you take a look at our Congress which has long been 90% or more male, you will find a total lack of any real spirituality though they may kneel often and hold a lot of prayer meetings. If you watch what they actually do, you see that they attack the helpless. What they practice is more like "Satanism."

But coincidentally, our NJ newspaper happened to have an Editorial today speaking out against the $17 MILLION that has been paid out by taxpayers to cover "complaints" of sexual harassment by our MALE Senators and Representatives in Congress since 1995. And the records are closed. American taxpayers aren't permitted to know who the offenders in Congress are.

And, additionally, studies show that our sexual abusers of children are not only MALE -- they are heterosexual males. Heterosexual males are 100X MORE likely to sexually abuse a child than a homosexual child. Lesbians pretty much never. In Hawaii before the coming of the "white man" ... homosexuals there were honored and esteemed for their care of orphaned children.

Organized patriarchal religion based in male-supremacy and a one-all-male-god underpins Elite patriarchy. Needless to say Elite patriarchs couldn't officially confirm themselves as "superior" -- they needed a male god to do that for them.

Christianity has NEVER been about peace and love. It's been about "Introducing the Cross with the Sword." It's been about extremes of violence -- The Crusades and The Inquisition, The Hammer of Witches. Not so long ago, a right wing coup in the Vatican seems to have gotten rid of three Popes in a row who were about to confirm the right of members to use their own conscience to decide for themselves whether or not to use contraceptives.

You just told someone earlier that Jesus hated them.<

Evidently you didn't notice that the person I was responding to has continued to suggest that Jesus hates me.

And, again, evidently you don't know that the war on women has continued throughout history -- though the abuse of women should be clear if you're at all familiar with other societies or if you read the scandals in our own newspapers. From "Bride Burnings" to women being gang raped, or having acid thrown in their faces ... it is easy to be aware as the reports are so frequent. Long history of "Foot Binding" and "Genital Mutilation" as well -- everything between the labia totally cut out.

And, evidently you have no awareness at all of the testimony of women who had late term abortions and the need for them. These are wanted pregnancies where something goes wrong. Often the babies are already dead, but there has been a long tradition in this country before abortion was approved here that those women had to go on carrying these dead babies until they went into labor. In other cases, the baby will not survive. Often they have enlarged heads which prevent vaginal delivery without destroying the body of the pregnant female and her ability to have another child. But -- if you can't find in yourself empathy for a pregnant female suffering these problems, what would you do if your own wife had these problems?
Or your daughter? Presumably you'd make the great sacrifice to let her die?>

The majority of abortions take place very early in pregnancies which couldn't be clearer. The number of "late term abortions" done to save the life and health of a pregnant female is a tiny percentage --- about 1 problem pregnancy in every county in the US every year.

Meanwhile, men continue to murder women at ever rising and alarming rates. Today American women have 11X the risk of being murdered by a man with a gun than women in other high income nations. During the Vietnam War ... where 57,000+ soldiers were murdered -- at home in the US, the same number of women -- 57,000+ -- were murdered in America by the ex-boyfriends, husbands, ex-husbands.

think --- Why should any women have been burned at the stake ... and why wouldn't you question that?

Why should any male-supremacist organized religion exist at all -- but even more questionably ... WHY wouldn't any such male world organization plotting the death of women they labelled "witches" be considered genocide? And why wouldn't this violent church and its psychopathic and paranoid male-supremacists be seen for the criminal murders they were?

Somehow you seem to be saying that since perhaps more females who studied plants as medicines, or perhaps more midwives weren't "statistically" burned at the stake in any higher numbers than any other women .... that's it's somehow not objectionable that ANY women whatsoever were burned at the stake. Leave alone any women with special knowledge of women's bodies, childbirth and plants/medicines?

What is true is that since that time males took over control of medicine ....even permitted to examine women and touch women as their "doctors" -- and delivering babies as "gynecologists." But, somehow, that doesn't seem odd to you.

You don't seem able to "see" very much ... however, once begun, the "Hammer of Witches" and burning of women at the stake went on for long periods and beyond the control of the Papacy.

While the Hammer of Witches was written in 1486 ....

You can see the beginning of it with Joan of Arc -- in her burning at the stake in 1431.

Joan of Arc was one of the most famous individual victims of the Inquisition... Charles VII convinced that her powers/visions did come from Heaven put Joan in charge of his army. Joan achieved her greatest military victory in 1429 in leading 4,000 men to relieve the besieged town of Orleans. Joan liberated Orleans, defeated the English in other French battles, and liberated several other French towns.

In 1430, during an attack to liberate Paris, Joan was captured by the Burgundians, and sold to the British. Joan was tried by the French Inquisition for sorcery and heresy, and burned at the stake in 1431.

Gynocide: The Holocaust of Women

Pope Innocent VIII issued a papal bull recognizing the existence of witches. This hateful book became the most-used tool in the mass torture and murder of countless women based on supposed witchcraft or diabolism.

Estimates are extremely unreliable, but over the centuries tens or hundreds of thousands (some sources even say millions) were burned, drowned, hung or otherwise executed in Europe and North America. Some say 1 percent of victims was male, some say 10 percent, but the persecution of witches is very obviously the persecution of women.

The Malleus Maleficarum concentrated almost exclusively on women, and the men who were murdered were often accused of being accomplices rather than witches. In fact, the feminine possessive in the Latin title already says it clearly: if the book were about male witches or both sexes, it would be called Malleus Maleficorum. Women were declared to be weaker in their faith and more ‘carnal’ than men–because women make men feel ‘carnal’, of course. That’s why we’re so evil, you see, because men have historically always been incapable of taking sexual responsibility for themselves. Note how the narrative has shifted over the centuries: men are now seen as the more carnal, less sexually disciplined ones, but women’s bodies are still blamed for that.

So witch hunts, connected as they are to the perception of all that is female and/or sexual as threatening, are a means of quelling female power. The witch or sorceress is a concept that has been closely associated with the woman healer, the midwife, the mystic, the shaman. Not only female sexuality but also female knowledge has been associated with evil. Anything that makes women something other than helpless is perceived as threatening (cf. the systematic killing of medicine women so that the field of medicine could become entirely male-dominated to school girls being hunted down and shot in the head by fanatical soldiers of the patriarchy in Pakistan, for instance). Among those burned in Europe in centuries past were many women who went against the status quo or dared to claim a place for themselves (I’d touch on ‘heathen’ religions at this point, but it goes beyond the already large scope). They were eliminated, driven by a deeply misogynist church-empire and economic pressure and religious-social upheaval in the population (which does sound frighteningly similar to a few regions on the planet right now). https://passtheflamingsword.wordpress.com/2013/01/31/gynocide-the-holocaust-of-women/

Of course women of the time were threatened by and fearful of organized patriarchal religion -- male-dominated religion. Who would think otherwise?

And of course the Inquisition and the Holocaust of Women resulted in their loss of control over their children ... and to inheritance rights ... This led to times when women could be committed -- and were committed -- to insane asylums simply based on statements by a husband suggesting confusion or strange ideas. This forced women into marriage in order to survive. This pattern is repeated at any time and everywhere that women are deprived of income and forced to resort to the streets. We saw children forced to the streets as child prostitutes in the UK during the Victorian Age. And we saw children here forced to the streets and sexually abused during the "Robber Baron" days in America and child labor. These patterns are constantly repeated.

And I'd add that it was well into the 1970's before women had the right to secure credit and to buy a home or any other property in their own name ......

I don't know what feminists you've been talking with but they sound more like professional anti-feminists.

If you were talking with actual feminists they might have mentioned the missing women all over the globe ... especially odd because females tend to be the majority in every society ... usually at numbers as high as 54%.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_women

True, nobility changed inheritance laws because the amount of land to be inherited became smaller and smaller over time.

Basically, suspicion falls on the fact that women at that time were a very notable majority (they are always a majority) but at that time many male lives had been lost in the "Crusades."

Crusades took place in the Middle Ages, witch hunts in notable numbers in the Early Modern period. In the Middle Ages, witches often were not killed, but had to leave town or were merely 'warned' by authorities without severe consequences.

The women were inheriting the property of their dead husbands and their wealthy. That made them more powerful and the object of jealousy and conspiracy to take their worldly goods which actually happened.

Most female witch hunt victims were poor women who hadn't the financial means and / or family members to pay for an attorney and support them.

I'd really recommend reading some new research stuff on witch hunts. As I said, even feminist scholars have debunked the "millions of wise women were killed in the witch hunts" theory.

See: http://www.controverscial.com/A%20History%20of%20The%20Malleus%20Maleficarum.htm

Men were called "warlocks."

As the slightest effort at research will reveal...women were removed from medicine and their knowledge of plants was destroyed

And so were the plants.

Women in the South Sea Islands evidently still use Papaya .. .which when taken for a week will cause a fertilized egg to be UNABLE to
adhere to the lining of the womb. It's also the basis for RU486... so yes some of the knowledge still exists and some of the plants.

Don't know what history you've been reading but ...

** The Malleus Maleficarum (The Witch Hammer), first published in 1486, is arguably one of the most infamous books ever written, due primarily to its position and regard during the Middle Ages.**

It served as a guidebook for Inquisitors during the Inquisition, and was designed to aid them in the identification, prosecution, and dispatching of Witches. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/cienciareal/cienciareal12.htm**

"Whether the Belief that there are such Beings as Witches is so Essential a Part of the Catholic Faith that Obstinacy to maintain the Opposite Opinion manifestly savors of Heresy."

And don't know what fake professioal anti-feminists you may be mistaking for feminists... but until the 1970's **... repeating 1970's **.... women here still didn't have the right to securing credit under their own name. They still required a male as co-signer.

Imagine that for hundreds of years now we've had males delivering children --- NOT that husbands weren't welcome to assist ... it was a great education for them, in fact -- an awakening when it did happening.

But the displacement of midwives and the idea that males know anything about the female body is ludicrous. But now, women are proctologists ... which I guess is a little evening up of the situation ... !!

OK ... does this do it for you ... "Evangelicals are idiots ... and so are Fundi's ... "

ROFL

Again -- they are impotent -- fakes ... part of right wing propaganda -- kabuki.

"I will let you ponder reincarnation and I will go with documented history. Jesus invented freedom by fighting bankers." -- evidence for reincarnation is well documented and overwhelming. & YES Jesus fought the banking cartel of the day for usury and other crimes. i'm in agreement with that. the "idea" of Jesus as well as the reality of him as a real man (i know him personally) & reincarnation are not mutually exclusive ideas.

getting rid of pedophilia is paramount. anyways, i'm on an extremely wild spiritual journey right now & i don't know exactly where it will all lead me, so i don't expect people to understand really. the idea that the same controller energies/entities that control everything over here do the same thing in "heaven," is a fascinating one to me and i'm still in the beginnings of researching this. the idea is that there is a TRUE God, a non-judgemental God, a loving God & also a REAL heaven! but the one we go to through that infamous tunnel, may not really be it. there's info on utube as well as books, & i am going to read as much as i can about it before i make a final decision, but i am leaning towards revoking my earthly contracts so that i can be as close to the real God as i can.

What I am saying is totally different, but seemingly you can't fathom that.

Projection onto others -- and suggesting that someone KNOWS what others think or who they are -- is what I'm talking bout. Fantasizing.

Actually, Jesus hates you .... but I'm sure you've heard that before.

Again -- get some help with that hate thing -- you're obsessed with JEWS.
