These are a few things I find kinda hypocrite about some Christians, not all.
1-The Vatican speaks of the 7 new mortal sins, yet they don't mention child abuse. I guess being concerned about the environment is PC and gives the Catholic Church good PR. But priests molesting and/or abusing children is not a concern for them.
2-Many Catholic Christians constantly point their fingers at Islam and claim that moderate Muslims should speak out against the extremists. I wonder how many of them speak out against these priests. I guess it wouldn't look ok for their Church to admit such thing.
3-Almost everyMany Christians out there are against homosexuality. Isn't this behaviour the opposite to the teachings of Jesus? If I'm not wrong Jesus advocated to be tolerant to others and yet most Christians are against gays having the same rights than us because "it's not natural".
4--Almost everyMany Christians around the World are against abortion, that's a fact. In the US many Evangelical Conservatives support the death penalty and the war in Iraq. Isn't this a double standard?
Edit: fixed points 3 and 4, words almost every replaced by many. My apologies for generalizing there.
1. yeah those supposed new 7 deadly sins aren't doctrine. there was no official decree, it was just an article.
2. yea there actually weren't many priests who did that... the majority of priests are good people and all so don't just assume all priests are gonna molest kids.
3. I think Jesus would still love homosexuals but i also think he would call them out on it and tell them they're behaving immorally
4. not really, if they think the war is just and needs to be fought, idk about the death penalty i don't really have a stand on that. it's not really an issue in my state
