Why would you say such hateful ridiculous stuff? The Catholic Church, like every organization, is comprised of fallible humans who sometimes do bad things. Sometimes very bad. But Catholic teaching obviously is opposed to such behavior, for Jesus' word is perfect. And in fact it is a tiny minority of priests who have done such acts. Less than the population at large.
Have you noticed the left never complains about the godless public schools which has many hundreds of times more teacher offenses against students. Everyone in this forum knows of at least three such offenses in their own school district in past years.
Good news for all those concerned about the Christianity part of these Medishare programs. Association plans are now allowed to be sold, going against the previous ACA law which outlawed them except allowing those with a religious exemption to continue as it also allowed the Amish to keep their version of a community pooling their resources to help people with medical expenses.
So feel free to find association plans for your profession or other type association to meet your healthcare needs.
Like every other religion, there are many brands of Amish. The Old Order in one of them.
The Old- Order Amish faith does not believe in insurance. The faith has long been exempt from Social Security and Medicare, which are insurance programs.
Property is not insured, so they are not eligible for commercial mortgages.
No cars so no need to insure the risk.
And more recently, they have been exempted from the ACA on religious grounds. It has created huge burdens in some families/ communities, especially given a predisposition towards genetic disorders. On the other hand, life style choices, no smoking, drinking, substance abuse, lack of processed food diets, physical activity and so on, result in far lower incidences of Diabetes, Cancer and Heart Disease.
While still scoring higher in all metrics of measurement existing from QOL, through life expectancy to individual freedoms.
Gollllly Andy; Mayberry's got some issues.
I love when they talk about life expectancy in these tiny frozen homogenous (white) countries. No big city urban gang violence. No turf wars. Lots of natural electricity, no smog (because it's frozen). No diversity. Surrounded by water. Lots of seafood. Tiny. Easy to maintain. Easy to traverse.
Talk to me when you're dealing with a huge diverse country like America is.
Does the plan cover therapy to help people recover from the trauma of being molested by a priest and having the Church ignore them and protect their abuser?
So if you are pro choice, that means you cannot be a Christian? Wow, isn't that being opposite of what Christianity is?
Well, as a Christian, you don't judge others, nor do you push your faith onto others. It's what you practice, not what you allow others to practice. Take a look at this thread. OP is not a practicer of Christianity.
