Dino, as Catholics, we do not follow the Church itself. We follow Jesus Christ. It is not his fault that some who purport to also follow his teachings are immoral or corrupt. Whatever these men of the church do, is not a reflection on my belief in Christ and his teachings. It is something that is important to me. I believe in a heaven and a hell and I know if I fall below what is expected of me, then I am going to burn. Contrary to your belief, there are many truly good priests who are holy men. There is good and bad in everything. But when the whole sex scandal broke a few years ago, my priest was the first to condemn these socalled priests. He said he was embarrassed to wear the collar at times and felt as if he had a target on his back.

I am not out to convert anyone. It is up to you to resolve these matters yourself. I just hope you don't find out too late. I disagree with many of the churches teachings in certain areas. But, that does not mean I question the word of God. There is a difference between some church doctrine and the words of Jesus. For example, the last Pope said that Catholic lawyers should not handle divorce cases. I do not practice family law, but I cannot see how a caltholic lawyer who does divorce cases is destined for hell. I have always had a problem with confession because I was excoriated time and again by priests who were ready to excommunicate you if you missed Sunday mass. My personal priest says that if you ever go to confession and a priest begins to attack you, simply get up and leave the confessional and find a true priest who follows the word of Christ.

In the end it is your decision.

isn't premarital sex considered sexually immoral?

"Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)

"We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did--and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died." (1 Corinthians 10:8 )

"But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars-- their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." (Revelation 21:8 )

"Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman [or, "It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman," according to the NIV footnote]. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband." (1 Corinthians 7:1-2, KJV)

Does anybody want to comment on that front line of Amauri-Miccoli?? I wouldn't doubt if Miccoli scores against Juve with our piss poor defense. Where's Bagg?? He's a Miccoli nut-licker.

amauri-miccoli is one of the best strike forces in serie A. I'm still pissed we sold miccoli. Did secco even watch him in portugal? I bet he'll go for 20 this season easy. Instead of keeping miccoli and not getting iaquinta, which is what we should of done, we ended up spending almost 5 million euros more for an older lesser talented player.
