An Overview On The Catholic Issues

By Della Monroe


Over 2,000 years ago, the Catholic Church was founded by some ardent believers and was hugely accepted by the pioneers. It had stringent rules that all members had to follow in order to be considered a faithful. With advancement in technology and the general acceptance of new trends, the church is continuously becoming irrelevant. Sexuality is one of the catholic issues that the church has abjured all appeals from the general public to embrace.

The Catholic Church has the highest number of faithful in the world according to statistics since its inception over 2,000 years ago. It has established itself as a voice in society that many look to when seeking guidance on important issues. Even governments have in the past resorted to wooing voters through the church.

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.

Priests and fathers are people who opine on issues that affect their flocks so that they encourage them in any way possible even when all hope is lost. When the holy house demands of them to abstain, many knowledgeable citizens believe they are not in a potion to talk on such important issues. One can only offer advice on a topic they are well versed with.

The former pope never wavered when it came to the use of condoms during intercourse. He encouraged his followers to follow the bible which allowed them to procreate. However, this was criticized by many people who viewed this as the major contributor to the high populations in the catholic countries. These people with large families barely survived with the payments that could only cater for food when they could control this by using condoms.

Governments encourage birth control as a way to check population growth. This is being done to achieve a number that can be supported effectively with the available resources without straining. However, the Catholic Church adamantly refuses to allow its members to use contraceptives a move that many have failed to understand. They know that this move plays a huge role towards preventing the deadly HIV and AIDS and yet they insist no member should be caught using the method lest they are denounced.

The church does not condone sex before marriage and any person who engages in these acts with a loved one is promised vengeance from the good lord. Some believers say that showing emotional affection for someone truly loved should not be seen as a sin especially if done with the consent of concerned parties. Though the church does not accept the act, many of its priests are engaging in it.
