how many Freemasonic cardinals have infiltrated the Catholic church? is this why there is so much child abuse?

Question

is this why there is so much child abuse in the Catholic church?

and do you think the current Pope is the False Pope the Freemasons planned to give the world in order to subvert Christianity from within?

Answer 1

Yes, yes and yes. Good question.

Answer 2

Evidently, there is a lack of understanding of freemasonry. Freemasonry is actually a charitable organization whose reputation has been darkened by the fact they have been falsely linked to the illuminati, whereas this is not true. The brotherhood of freemasonry requires the belief in a supreme being, and so to place this entirely on the church rather than other religions has little sense in it. On top of this, Freemasons believe in bettering man. This, therefore, means that they're highly unlikely to be involved in child abuse.



Again, this idea crops up that the Pope is a masonic member & wants to crumble Christianity from within. Many Freemasons are Christians, and so it's highly unlikely that there's a plot to subvert Christianity. Once again, this is likely to have sprouted from popular modern culture, such as Dan Brown's books, preoccupied with the links between the Illuminati & Freemasonry. While it may be true that the Illuminati is modeled off of Freemasonry, and that many members were drawn from the masonic lodges, the two group's purposes are very separate.



In short, both of these are false, backed up by what Freemasonry stands for. It is, of course, your choice as to whether or not to believe the shadowy rumors about Freemasonry beyond its secrecy, or to believe what information if given about the brotherhood.

Answer 3

It would be impossible to tell "how many Freemasonic cardinals have infiltrated the Catholic church" even it there were any.



There is so much child abouse in the Catholic Church because there is so much child abuse in society.



In every population of human beings are going to a few sick or evil people who commit horrible crimes, even in the Church.



The percentage of pedophiles in the clergy of the Catholic Church is actually less than that of society in general.



These few terrible people do not negate the faith, hope and love of over one billion Catholics.



The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families report "Child Maltreatment 2006" states that sexual abuse by Catholic clergy was less than one-half of one percent of all cases.



The report states that the perpetrators relationship to the victim was:

29.1% were Other Relatives

26.2% were Parents

24.4% were Others

6.9% were Unknown or Missing People

6.1% were Unmarried Partners of Parent

4.4% were Friends or Neighbors

1.8% were Child Daycare Providers

0.5% were Other Professionals

0.3% were Foster Parents

0.3% were Residential Facility Staff

0.1% were Legal Guardians



All clergy is a subset of Other Professionals and Catholic clergy is a subset of all clergy. http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cb/pubs/cm06/table3_19.htm

The 2009 Annual Report prepared by the Catholic bishops identifies 14 allegations of childhood sexual abuse in the U.S. Catholic Church in the 10 years from 2000 to 2009. Please note that there were 65,600,000 Catholics in the U.S. in 2010. http://www.usccb.org/ocyp/annual_report/9_CH4.pdf

The 2007 Associated Press investigation identifies 2,570 public school teachers who, from 2001 through 2005, had their teaching licenses "taken away, denied, surrendered voluntarily, or restricted" because of sexual misconduct with minors.

With love in Christ.

Answer 4

To be a Freemason you must believe in a God. There is so much molestation in the Church because pedos know if they're priests then children will be easy to molest & the Church handles the reports by just shipping them somewhere else. Most of the anti Masonic lies Catholics believe come from the Taxil HOAX.

Answer 5

None, and no.



There's child abuse in the church because men who wanted to join the Church weren't properly vetted before being ordained, and the current Church administration doesn't know how to deal with these bad guys.



The current Pope is a former Nazi. The Nazis didn't much like Freemasons, killing them, burning Lodges and eradicating Freemasonry from Nazi Germany.



Freemasonry is a fraternity. It's not a religion, it's not a substitute for one, and it doesn't have any plans regarding the Catholic Church. Duh.

Answer 6

It would take a lot of convincing to think otherwise.

Answer 7

Yes pretty much.

I'd elaborate but i don't want to upset the wrong people..

Answer 8

LOOK!!



There's a conspiracy theory behind you!
