Roman Catholic Priest In Rhode Island Defiantly Says ‘Pedophilia Never Killed Anyone’ And That People Should Focus Instead On Stopping Abortion

Roman Catholic priest Reverend Richard Bucci sparks outrage for saying ‘pedophilia doesn’t kill anyone, abortion does’ after he banned 44 politicians from receiving communion because they are pro-choice.

One main reason why the Roman Catholic Church is unable to resolve the ongoing priest pedophilia scandals is because when you get right down to it, they really don’t think they did anything wrong. Allow me to explain. For decades now, when Roman Catholic priests have been caught engaging in pedophilia, they are not disciplined or punished, they are simply sent to another parish where they are not known and allowed to keep abusing little kids. All popes including Pope Francis have been covering up for this for many years now.

“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” Revelation 17:4,5 (KJB)

Here now we present to you, the Reverend Richard Bucci who evidently thinks that pedophilia is somewhat akin to acne, something unpleasant but not life-threatening, who said last week that “pedophilia never killed anyone, abortion is the real problem’. Yes, he actually said that. He couldn’t care less about children being forced to satisfy the oral and anal urges of pedophile priests, but is instead waging a campaign to “out” lawmakers who are pro-choice. Now you know why you always see Roman Catholic priests leading protests at abortion clinics but you never see them protesting pedophilia within their own ranks. They have no intention or desire to stop doing it, and will only stop when forced to which is pretty rare.

Roman Catholic Priest says ‘pedophilia doesn’t kill anyone’ but abortion does

FROM YAHOO NEWS: A priest in Rhode Island, Reverend Richard Bucci, made national headlines last week by banning lawmakers who supported the state’s abortion rights bill from receiving communion at his parish. Now, he is doubling down on that decision with a statement that’s sending shockwaves through social media.

The 72-year-old priest recently passed out fliers to parishioners listing the names of all 44 members of the legislature who voted for the Reproductive Privacy Act, which was signed into law last spring. The flier stated that those individuals would also be banned from acting as witnesses to marriage, serving as godparents, and performing readings at weddings and funerals, citing “2,000 years” of Catholic teachings.

Then, in an interview Sunday, Bucci’s rhetoric went further.

“Pedophilia doesn’t kill anyone and this does,” he told local station WJAR, claiming that more children have been killed by abortion than have been abused.

This statement didn’t sit well with State Representative Carol Hagan McEntee, a Democrat who championed Rhode Island’s law to extend the statute of limitations for child sex abuse survivors.

“When he says that pedophilia doesn’t kill people, well, he clearly doesn’t understand,” she told CBS News. “He should’ve come to the statehouse and listened to the testimonies because there are lot of victims who are no longer with us. The injured voices that I heard — they’ve stolen their childhoods. They’ve practically destroyed their lives. And the ones we still hear from are the lucky ones because they’re the ones who are still alive; they didn’t die of an overdose or suicide. You know, there’s plenty of those that never made it long enough to come forward.”

Her colleague, State Representative Julie Casimiro, whose name was also published in the flier, agrees.

“The Catholic Church needs to take a look at themselves and ask why they are closing churches and losing worshipers,” Casimiro wrote in a statement to CBS News. “Could it be because Fr. Bucci’s most recent statement was that ‘no one has ever died from pedophilia?’ Fr. Bucci and the diocese need to take a look from within. They need to get their own house in order. The Pope should make a visit to Rhode Island!”

CBS News has reached out the Diocese of Providence for comment, but has not yet heard back.

In the immediate aftermath of distributing the flier, Bucci told the Providence Journal that local lawmakers were upset because their names and votes were made public: “If they are proud of what they have done, why do they want to keep it a secret?”

The issue, however, is not that the votes were made public. In fact, one Democratic state representative called that “laughable,” because their votes on every issue are already listed on the General Assembly’s website as soon as they are tallied. Rather, for some, it’s about the separation of church and state. They have a problem with the lack of respect for the separation of church and state, and for our votes on behalf of our constituents being punished by a church who protected child abusers.

For others, it has to do with the Catholic Church’s handling of its own pedophilia scandal and the hypocrisy they perceive in the discrepancy.

McEntee has had a long and fraught relationship with Sacred Heart Church in West Warwick, Rhode Island, where Bucci now presides. She and her older sister, Ann Hagan Web, attended Sacred Heart School from kindergarten through the eighth grade. And Ann alleges that she was repeatedly sexually molested by a priest there, who is now deceased, for approximately seven years, beginning when she was just 5 years old.

McEntee tells CBS News that she believes Bucci’s letter is less a response to the Reproductive Privacy Act than it is a reaction to her work with child sex abuse survivors.

“I just think it’s concerning that this is the church that is taking issue with this, out of all the churches in Rhode Island,” she told CBS News. “Personally, I feel this is a continued attack by him on me and my family because of what happened to my sister. And he’s come up with this latest way.”

Her colleague Julie Casimiro points to the time lag between the final vote on the bill last June and Father Bucci’s letter in January as proof of that point.

“Fr. Bucci would love to have you all think this is about the codification of Roe V Wade,” she wrote to CBS News. “If it was, why wasn’t the list published last year when we took the vote? Why did only a few lawmakers receive the mailing at home? This is retribution to the Hagen-McEntee family for shining the light on sexual assault within the Catholic Church and Sacred Heart, in particular.”

In a fiery Facebook post after the flier was made public, Casimiro went a step further, suggesting that the General Assembly should respond to Father Bucci’s list of lawmakers not welcome in his parish by posting “a list of pedophile priests not welcome at the State House. That is a much longer list.” READ MORE

The Bride of Christ makes herself ready for her wedding day at the Judgment Seat of Christ, a Bible doctrine often ignored by most churches in our day

The Church is the body of Christ, the bride of Christ, and the New Jerusalem where God will once again and for all eternity “dwell with man”. God’s glory will be forever made manifest in the thing for which He shed His own blood – the Church of Jesus Christ. The Lamb’s wife, the bride of Christ, does something very important to “ger herself ready” for the big day we see laid out in Revelation 19 – and it’s called the Judgment Seat of Christ!

“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.” Revelation 19:7 (KJB)

YOU ARE INVITED: Come join us in the new work that God is doing at Bethany Baptist Church in Saint Augustine, Florida. You can also follow us on Facebook for news, updates and Camp Meeting information.

Roman Catholic Cardinal Timothy Dolan Delivers Shocking ‘Ramadan Message’ Calling On All Catholics To Pray For Their ‘Muslim Brothers And Sisters’

Cardinal Dolan delivers a ‘Ramadan message’ shaming all Catholics into praying for ‘our Muslim brothers and sisters’ continuing the work Pope Francis has done with his Islam Alliance

As Pope Francis lays in his hospital bed, and quite possibly his death bed as his condition continues to worsen, Cardinal Timothy Dolan took to his Podcast to deliver a stunning message on the Muslim holiday of Ramadan that starts today. In that message, Dolan refers them as “our Muslim brothers and sisters”, sparking quite the controversy online. Calling Muslims as “brothers and sisters” implies there is a bond connecting the two religions that are very far apart. Yes, not as far as you might think when you consider the alliance forged by Pope Francis over the past 12 years between Islam and the Roman Catholic Church. Has Ash Wednesday become the ‘Catholic Ramadan’, as Cardinal Dolan suggests? It sure has and a whole lot more than that, and that’s the memo.

“Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” Amos 3:3 (KJB)

Cardinal Dolan said he was giving this message to “shame Catholics” into becoming more like Muslims, and concluded his fiery missive by saying “let’s unite with our Muslim brothers and sisters in prayer and fasting.” Dolan even went so far to call the Roman observance of Ash Wednesday as the ‘Catholic Ramadan’. Wow, there’s a lot to unpack there. So let’s do a quick review of the foundation for all this laid by Pope Francis. Please take a moment to click on these links to refresh your memory about the alliance Pope Francis created between Islam and the Roman Catholic Church.

Pope Francis and the Chrislam Alliance:

So you see, the “shocking message” delivered by Cardinal Dolan is absolutely on target with the official stance the Roman Catholic pope has taken on Mohammed’s religion of Allah. Even if Pope Francis does not survive his current health crisis, the work he has put in place with Islam and the Muslims will live on into the arrival of Antichrist in the time of Jacob’s trouble.

Here above is the message from Cardinal Dolan from yesterday that stirred up all the controversy, and after you watch it, check out some of these great books on Roman Catholicism from the Bookstore!
