That child's death is a tragedy. I serves no purpose whatsoever, religious or otherwise. That priest is telling lies, plain as the nose on his face.

I find such things to be horrible offensive.

There was a guy who was just all over Bill Clinton, for the Monica story.

So when Newt Gingrich got caught with his mistress, THAT was different!

Newt was a "godly man," the same way King David in the Bible was, cheating with his best friend's wife.
Then God "punishes" them by killing the resulting baby.

All this was part of "God's plan," according to this raging hypocrite.

I told the guy to take his Bible and his religion and go to hell.

If you want to see just bad the Jesus freaks could get on the Fidonet, here's a good URL:

Nothing has changed. People with "beliefs" will continue to rationalize whatever suits them. It is a plague.

I thought Catholics didn't believe that. That Catholic view was more that God can bring good out of bad.
