It's Disgusting How Some Roman Catholics Insist Priests Save Souls Even After One "Holy" Scandal After the Other

The selective outrage of the Roman Catholic media should disgust anyone. Not only have they lumped quack pastors with the pastors of God but they continue to deny the existence of priestly scandals or keep quiet about it. Either way it's selective outrage at its best which has turned into a growing cancer. While forgiveness should be extended to these sexually immoral priests by the victims but it doesn't mean condoning to what they do. Forgiveness means not holding a grudge, not taking the law into your hands but it doesn't mean God won't execute vengeance and that governments should punish evildoers.

The problem of Roman Catholic organizations is that they tend to use the forgiveness card to cover these "holy" scandals their priests commit. It's highly possible that if these scandals would leak out that the claim that priests save souls will be challenged. The problem how some Roman Catholics still insists that priests save souls (and they say pastors will damn your soul) even with all the priestly scandals. Try telling them about all the priestly scandals and they say that Satan is blinding your mind. It's amazing how Satan can make people think they're against him even when they unknowingly serve him. The Jews who condemned Jesus and rejected Him as their Messiah thought they were against Satan while they ignorantly supported him. The same goes for Roman Catholics who think they're worshiping God but they unknowingly support Satan's lies.

It's highly possible why some rape victims of Roman Catholic priests are silent is for this reason. A hypothetical scenario is that the priest would warn the rape victim to never tell anyone or they're going to stop giving the sacraments. It could also be imagined that some keep quiet believing that they should allow the priests to rape their children thinking that it's "holy" rape. "Holy" here reflects it's a counterfeit holiness and not genuine holiness. Some may even think that the priest who raped their child is instrumental in making the child "holy". This blindness is amazing to how some people may even keep quiet because the priest won't give them their "soul saving sacraments" anymore if they spilled the garbage from their parish. It may be that they may deny baptism to one baby if the parents wouldn't keep quiet about harassing their older child. This happens at a rapid rate because people choose to put the Scriptures below and their traditions above. I guess some even consent to having affairs with the priests fearing for their eternal soul even when the latter has zero capacity to save it.

How do you gain authentic holiness? Not by the priest nor any pastor. Authentic holiness is from God. Do you know without true holiness you can't see God (Hebrews 12:14)? The problem is God is holy and you are not. You need His holiness. You need His righteousness. Holiness is when God set apart people for His purpose. True holiness is only achieved when you realize you can't save yourself and only God's plan of salvation can save you. This holiness grows day by day by God's grace and not through reliance on a man who claims to save your soul but can't even do it.
