An Overview On The Catholic Issues

By Della Monroe


Our creator created the world with human beings in it to name and protect the creations that could not defend themselves. Because he loved us unconditionally, he put the church in place to offer guidance according to the bible to the flock. God knew even then that the world would be polluted with unacceptable ways that would lure his children. However, each time a new pope is being ordained, several catholic issues pop up demanding to be addressed by the incumbent.

The general public through the media and other governmental agencies have pleaded with the church to accept changes in society to no avail. This inflexible attitude has been associated to the massive reduction in the number of Catholics in the world. The churches reputation is also dwindling with the scandals that it is facing every day.

Aggressive reporting by the media has brought to the fore front sexual practices taking place within the walls of the historic church. Even though homosexuality is legal in many countries today, the church declines to embrace it when the same act is being practiced by holy priests. The reckless deeds by the chosen men of God have become too much to ignore especially when they criticize those who engage in it publicly.

Scandalous reports rock the holy house of God every day but it refuses to acknowledge them instead opting to cover them up in every possible way. Cases of children being raped by priest, women having their children and others being forced to abort have come to light in almost all dioceses. Even with the media ensuring the public know these heinous actions the pope refuses to comment on them.

The Catholics stance on homosexuality has been one of total intolerance. The sensitive topic is what faced the incumbent pope. He was charged with the responsibility of addressing the issue of men having sex with each other at a time when cases of priests engaging with young boy have resurfaced all over the tabloids. While homosexuality is today tolerated by many nations, pedophilia is unacceptable which is what the priests practice.

Celibacy has often hit the headlines as the contributing factor the abnormal act of pedophilia something that is not accepted at all by society yet they engage in it when no one is watching. Marriage is a stage in life that most people have to go through and it usually comes with stress and complications. Faithful go to church every Sunday seeking guidance on these topics hence a priest is not conversant with intricacies involved.

There are some policies the church has put in place that many believe should be erased and forgotten. Unfortunately, these cries have been paid no attention by the officials and the pope himself. Scandals continue to rock the church from all corners but nothing has been done to avoid them.

Gender equality has been fought for by many individuals who believe women too deserve to occupy the same positions as men. Therefore, the world fails to understand why the mouthpiece of the Lord is still taking its time in accepting ordaining women into priesthood when other churches are already accepting them.
