[Randy spouts more garbage about the evil Catholics]
There have been allegations of Nuns who engaged in sexual relations with priests and became pregnant. Since abortion is a sin, they were allowed to carry their children to full term and deliver the babies. The baby was then quickly murdered. It is reported that churches in Europe are build on foundations of slaughtered infants - infants killed to preserve the reputation of the church.

Perhaps you are unaware, but murder is also a sin. So they avoided one sin, but blatantly committed another? Where's the logic in that?
Besides, aborting would be the preferable sin, since it would not leave nuns pregnant, indicating their secondary sin of extra-marital sex. For keeping secrets, abortion is better than murder.
"Since abortion is a sin, they were allowed to carry their children to full term and deliver the babies. The baby was then quickly murdered."
Can't. Stop. Laughing!
The idiocy in this is off the charts!
And this is why I wish blogging required you to cite sources like freshman comp papers.
That way, people would have to admit it when they were repeating something told to them by the same senile great-uncle who thinks that the moon landing was faked.
I don't believe they technically murdered the babies, just left them in the basement where if God wanted them to live, they would of.
This stuff went on in the 16th Century, in modern times, they just sneak off for an abortion.
I find the following issues with Randy's Blog. Have I missed any?
1. Abortion is sin, murder is sin, therefore both are as bad as each other.
2. Would it not be morally better and easier to just dump a newborn on the steps of the local hospital or orphanage?
3. Murdered babies are structurally unsound when used as foundations or any other form of load bearing structure.
4. Going through my video collection, nuns appear to be more interested in other nuns than in priests.
5. According to most news reports, priests appear to be more interested in alter boys than in nuns.
6. Randy is a fruit loop.
Could well be true, religion has done fucked up things whether Catholic or Baptist.
I'm not sure this is worthy of being here, except maybe to highlight the hypocrisy in Randy's trying to portray the Catholics as uber-evil and hence (in his eyes) not Christian.
The Law of Inverse Credulity means that the more far fetched, bizarre, and outlandish an explanation it is, the more likely a fundie will believe it because it proves his magical ideas to be true. Note this is a Law, not just a Theory.
If Chick is the source of your report, no wonder it's so faulty. Besides, his "source" has long been debunked. Maria Monk, in case you're wondering, had been diagnosed with a mental illness and not even her family believed her.
Can't murder the baby in utero because it is created by god. But, you can murder it as soon as it is born? YOUR mind may work that way, Bro. Randy, but normal, healthy, human minds do not. You're making shit up to support your bigoted beliefs against fellow christians. And, usually such intense hatred only occurs when feeling threatened. Otherwise, why would you care what other religions and branches of christianity believe?
Can you tell me which European churches are built on foundations of slaughtered infants? I'd like to visit them on my next trip there.
Wouldn't it be easier just to pack the child away in one of their orphanages and claim it was dropped off?
... and if abortion is a sin, why would killing it after it was born not be? Oh right, I forgot; to a Christian the right of life ends at birth. After that you can be executed for even the most trivial of offense.
Umm, isn't murder a sin too? If they wouldn't have an abortion, they wouldn't murder a child either, QED. Ergo, you're full of bullshit ;)
Seriously, Randy, Chick Tracts are hardly a credible source. Neither are Maria Monk's writings, having been refuted and dismissed as a hoax almost a century ago. This is why it's not always a good idea to tell a fundie to go research the information themselves...
On the other hand, the music on his blog makes me want to chew my own arm off. Does that mean I'm beset by demons?
Some churches in europe have bones under them or in the walls, but that was the custom at the time. The more godly you were the closer to the alter you'd get buried.
Quite frankly, the nun and priest thing doesn't work because children were always important given how many did not reach adulthood. Any child at a convent would be explained away as an orphan brought in to work.
I wondered where this dork went to.
Uh oh, I insulted him!
Gonna call your big, scary FBI buddies on me now Sir Randy of Fuckville?
Bring it on, bitch!
Yes, an anti-Catholic plot device is one of the defining themes of gothic novellas. Of course, it was understood by most who read them during their hey day that such stories were intended to be read as FICTION.
I know that his post is full of contradictions but, going deeper there is an explanation. He has got this info from Jack Chick, which doesn't cite sources, never ever(go figure why). He doesn't know anything that happens outside his little world, but he avoids citing Jack Chick for a number of reasons, one of them that his restrictive source would make him lose credibility. He wants to believe that this affaire is daily bread and it's not concerned to an obscure comic writer.
He may not know that the source, the real one is Maria Monk, which has long been discredited. As she lived in the 19th century, when abortion is not the issue it is today, she mentioned that the nuns did away their children as many unwanted pregnancies ended at the time. Why has he said the contradiction of the abortion issue?, because he may have thought that his potential detractors may ask him why the nuns didn't get a discreet abortion. Of course, the Vatican is against abortion, so he has concocted this stupid explanation without realising he's contradicting himself.
So, abortion is a sin, and they were allowed to carry their infants to term, but then they murdered them eh?
Solid logic there "Bro".
The street of tears in Rome is not an allegation, it is a fact.
Abortion never became a "sin" until the start of the 11th century - and why?
According to Revelation, the Rapture was supposed to be at that time and there were mass suicides all over Europe by those who feared being "left behind"
Such were the numbers that suicide and abortion were added to the "sin list"
In was previously never mentioned in the bible, nor was even mentioned by Jesus.
As much as I despise christianity, and especially the history of western christianity, all the BS that protestants spew about the catholics and the vatican are mostly just that, BS. I've never heard this one, which means that Pedo. Randy pulled it right from his fat lying ass. Of course, that's the way fundies and evangelicals operate, when there's no proof of your enemies having done anything wrong, just make shit up. That's what jesus would do!
The church has been covering up acts of severe crimes by priests, from harassing handicap children to raping/molesting female colleagues, to save it's reputation through minial punishemnt of those gulity to literaly destryoing evidence/harassing witnesses. But this is just over the top.
It's easy enough to shame the Catholic church with things they're proven to have done. If your church was as large or old your record would be as bad.
In fact these attacks on the Catholics usually occur after a few reports of criminal behavior in deep south churchs hit the press, damage control with the " well, ok he's guilty, but look at what the Catholics have done!"
You all create a power base with your churchs, an elevation of your priests and church elders to a higher importance than the sheep. This almost always leads to abuses, church leaders are Divas, self-centered little shits, like celebrities and politicians.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
