Why is it so many Catholics have potty mouths?
456729
That is a very interesting question. I am a practicing Catholic, married since july, female, 35. And yes, I have a horrible potty mouth.\n\nLike, really bad. I use the F word a lot. It's so versatile.\n\nHonestly I don't know why. I am just being honest. My guess would be this; As a Catholic, we have the guilt thing going on. So many sins to avoid. So much pressure. I mean, we've got mortal sins, venial sins, a sin for every season and occasion. PLUS we've got our poor dead relatives and friends suffering in Purgatory and we are supposed to pray for them to get out. We have lots of rules and stuff and after all that we need some kind of outlet!\n\nEnter potty-mouth and drinky-poo.\n\nI'd like to speak for all Catholics by saying most of us do our best. We gotta avoid those BIG sins that send us to hell, so we indulge in some of the lesser sins, such as foul language, and drunkeness. It doesn't make us bad people. I suppose we should follow the rules more, but after all, we are only human. \n\nHope my perspective helps. God F*#!ing RULES!

Well you pretty much answered your own question..thoroughly I might add. That's a silly Catholic guilt mechanism designed to control people when a person who knows better wants to control them. I'd imagine that the people that dish out this nonsense rarely believe it, it simply gives them more control in other peoples lives. Good to see you see better than that :)

There are many stories concocted about Catholics to make them look bad. Lets imagine this is true. It is a good way for that child to not piss its bed. It makes them think about not wetting the bed. This is bad but there are worse things to do to a child. The place at least had them in a warm place and fed them. They could have been thrown out in the street like the Gabinos of colombia. They are street child that are thrown out by thier parents and the children become hookers and drug users.\nDicipline is good for children. Anarchy will bring you hookers and drug users.\nFull of questions. You are not against religion. You are against the Catholic church. Dont try to hide it.\nProtestants are the ones that say the Catholic church is a cult. By the way Jesus founded the Church when he told Peter(the First Pope) on this rock I will found my church.\nJesus founded Catholicism and Jesus did not found a cult.\nThere are cults like the heavens gate, Jim jones and his people and Manson and his cult of killers.\n\n)(Full of questions) if you have more questions, write me\ndoctorkersey@yahoo.com

Are you crazy?  Only 10% of Catholic even go to church each Sunday.  Are you asking why are they not preaching on street corners, or knocking on doors.  I accept there would be value to that.  \n\nThere are some small groups, Legion of Mary for example that visit homes and encourage prayer and practice.  St Vincent de Paul Society carry out welfare work in the name of the Church as well as praying together.  Orders of Nuns have set up Hospitals.  Many orders (nuns and brothers) set up schools.  Chaplains and lay-people are appointed to help Seaman at ports, the blind, defence forces personal, Scripture lesson at state schools- buy the thousands, the elderly, the deaf, the house bound, prisoners; there are priest scientists, church sponsored counsellors, marriage guidance, pregnancy help, I'll stop...  it surprises me just how many Church Ministries are carried out without making a big fuss.

Alright people. Enough with the jokes on the priests and little boys. It's extremely immature. People make mistakes and yes it was wrong. The pope and clergy are trying to fix this problem. GIVE IT A REST!\n\nA Catholic priest is the person who conducts the Mass and the sacraments. They are the "shepherds" of the church and are to help the "sheep" find their way in their faith.\n\nOn the subject of presbyteral ministry I have never heard that before and I am a Catholic so I can't help you there.

Good question. But consider this, if christ had existed, he would have had lips and and @sshole. Are you telling me that priests haven't thought about his @ss as they're shoving it into their mouths?

Why do you think that all Christian priests always have sex with children.  don't they take time off to say mass?\n\nBut, seriously folks, I believe the incidence of child molestation among Catholic priests is because they are put upon to be sexless.  Unlike Muslim, Jewish, and other types of Christian clerics, Catholic priests are not allowed to marry. This is unnatural and just might be the cause of the perversion.

Hi, just logged in and spotted your question and I think that you have a good point there, I am a Catholic and not a great one may I admit, I can be a hypocrite at times and this is my failing and my own fault.\nI try my best not to preach to anyone and prefer just to give advice if I am asked, but even this is pompous if I do not practice my faith,and for this I am no role model at times.\nI do believe in free will and choice and I do get embarrassed when fellow Christians do the Bible thumping bit,I believe that we should do less talking and more walking,for it is always by example that people are touched and so little by overbearing preaching.\nI am tired of hearing others condemn people to Hell and such talk that Jesus Himself would not do as He judged no-one, yes I am far from perfect and I tell you honestly that I to am tired of hearing the same condemnations day after day.\nI cannot apologize for these people but only for myself,they need to come down from the glorified pedestal that they perch on and behave with respect and dignity.\nto finish it is good to be able to say that not all who follow Jesus are religious tyrants and these seldom get heard.\nregards to you.

Collective brainwashing is far more efficient than doing it one person at a time. This is true for all churches not only Catholic.

In some societies, yes, they do that...for a variety of odd reasons.  It's gross!

Well most people in that age couldn't read or write. So it served as a visual way to teach people about Catholicism and the Bible. They portrayed the Devil as being the most scariest being ever and it scared people into being Catholic. Plus, the sermon would be in Latin and they didn't speak in Latin.

Not necessarily easy to say. A few reasons might be:\n\n1. Some folks say that some persons who are gay might be attracted to the priesthood as a way of trying to sublimate their homosexual urges. \n\n2. Often persons who have sexual relationships with children use their position of power to coerce children into trusting them and then they have sexual relationships with them. Priests are the ultimate authority figures and can often intimidate others.\n\n3. The children that priests have contact with have typically been boys--alter boys. \n\nI think that they have gotten away with it because the powers that be in the Catholac Church were arrogant and put the needs of the church ahead of the needs of children. I suspect that there was some level of lack of understanding about child sexual abusers, but in the end it was a lousy value decision made by the leadership in the Catholac Church. It finally took an outcry from many people to stop it.

Are you talking about Catholics and the new pope or all Christians?\n\nI think its probably cuz people are ignorant. And I personally am starting to get very annoyed with peoples stupid and ignorant comments.

because the catholic religion is all about tradition. \nand nobody in leadership has bothered to look at what the bible says, instead, they go by the ritualistic traditions which are actually un-biblical.\n\nconfessing to a priest will do nothing for you, coz God says to confess to Him. \nthey sometimes use the excuse of the scripture that says "confess your sins one to another".. but if you read that passage, you will realise its talking about discussing your sins honestly with others in order to be accountable to someone to change. but its only God that we get forgiveness from.\n\nas far as Mary goes? again, they dont read the bible where it says that you are only to pray to the Father in heaven in Jesus name. they also obviously missed the spot where it forbids you to talk to the dead. mary is dead. she was awesome, but she is dead at the moment, in heaven and unable to hear them. it says nowhere that she and only a selected special few are saints. we are all saints when we are saved into Christ Jesus. thats what God calls us, saints.\n\nif any catholics dont believe me, take a look at all of the epistles, alot of them start with "to the saints of (insert place like ephesus or corinth here)". He addresses the people of the church, as saints. so unless that church is full of corpses of great men and women of God... He is writing to alive people. \n\n"My people perish from lack of knowledge".\n\nits just a lack of knowledge of what the bible says..so, what God says.\n\nits sad :-(

Due to the nature of the Internet, these haters are provided with a relatively safe haven to spout their anti-Catholic/Christian bigotry. \n\nYou see, they are all too cowardice to act that way in public, but repercussions online are minimal.\n\nBut you know what? That same relative safety is also granted to the faithful. And we can counter their bias, bigotry, and hatred with God's Truth, thus exposing these people for the fools they are.
