Book excerpt: No matter how much effort we invest, sin and its accompanying evil will remain unexplainable. Why? Because of the lies and the deceits. Inherent in sin is the denial of truth. We cover up our unwholesome motives and violent acts against others with a veneer of goodness. We sugarcoat our garbage. Everyone has a stake in hiding the truth of sin. This makes uncovering the mystery of how sin works difficult, because wherever and whenever we dig, lies rush in to fill the hole. Lying frustrates the process of reasonable conversation and thinking. More than this, sinful activity is at bottom both self-destructive and world-destructive. We are born into the state of sin, even though we do not commit actual sins until after we arrive. But these moderns redefinition do not really erase our problem. Now the question arises again. If I am born into a sinful state, how can I personally be responsible for that state? Why am I in need of salvation?

Download or read book Sin Shame Secrets written by David Yonke and published by David Yonke. This book was released on 2015-02-06 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this unique and compelling true-crime story, journalist and author David Yonke presents and analyzes the only case in U.S. history in which a Roman Catholic priest was arrested for the murder of a nun. Father Gerald Robinson of Toledo, whom friends and associates described as a timid and mild-mannered man, was arrested by cold-case detectives in April, 2004, and charged in the brutal slaying of Sister Margaret Ann Pahl 24 years earlier. The 71-year-old nun had been choked to the edge of death, covered with an altar cloth, and stabbed 31 times in the face, neck and chest. Her body was found in the sacristy of a Catholic hospital, her habit pulled up to her chest and her undergarments around her ankles. It was Holy Saturday morning, 1980, the day before Easter and the day before the victim’s 72nd birthday. Cold-case investigators said the first nine stab wounds, made over the nun’s heart, were in the shape of an upside down cross, one of many signs that Sister Margaret Ann was the victim of a ritual killing. "Sin, Shame & Secrets" unveils how cold-case investigators decided to reopen the case in 2003 after a Toledo nun testified that Father Robinson abused her in satanic rituals when she was a child. The nun's testimony before the Toledo Catholic Diocese's Review Board also alleged that a number of children had been killed by the cult. A lengthy police investigation followed, resulting in Robinson's arrest at age 66 on April 23, 2004. After a three-week trial, covered gavel-to-gavel by Court TV (now truTV), the priest was convicted of murder on May 11, 2006 and sentenced to 15 years to life in prison. * * * Yonke, the award-winning former Religion Editor and reporter at The Toledo Blade, reviewed hundreds of police files, interviewed dozens of principles, and covered every minute of the trial to give readers a thorough and examined look at events as they unfolded, as well as providing background information for the story and the people involved. * * * In Robinson’s legal appeals, the killer priest claimed that his trial attorneys failed to examine the possibility that another hospital chaplain — one with a drinking problem, a bad temper, and a knife collection — may have been the real murderer. Robinson also alleged that Coral Eugene Watts, a confessed serial killer who strangled and stabbed up to 80 women, was living an hour north of Toledo in 1980 and may have been the perpetrator. The story has been covered by news media around the world and featured on many nationally broadcast television programs. Although Robinson's appeals were denied by the Ohio Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court, public debate and controversy continue to swirl in this timeless and shocking case. * * * Nancy Grace, talk show host former prosecutor: "Carefully detailing her murder, Yonke describes not only the search for a killer, but the struggle for all of us including both the Toledo police and the Catholic Church, to accept that evil exists everywhere around us, even within the house of God." Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Michael Sallah called it "a murder case for the ages," adding that "Yonke deftly shows how an American Catholic diocese kept one of its own from being charged for more than a quarter century." Father Thomas Doyle, JCD, CADC, commented: "This is not just another murder mystery. It is a true story that enrages, mystifies and terrifies any reader with even a modicum of moral awareness." Barbara Blaine, founder of SNAP, said: "Through painstaking research and gripping narrative, David Yonke presents and analyzes a stunning case of physical, emotional, and sexual pain and the political corruption that kept a horrific crime unsolved for years." Pulitzer Prize-winner Mitch Weiss called it "an explosive piece of investigative journalism."

Download or read book Being Gay is Not a Sin written by Mackenzie Lodimus and published by Mackenzie Lodimus. This book was released on 2024-08-04 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: “Being Gay” Is Not A Sin. Religious freedom has long been a pillar of civil freedom, profoundly embedded in cultural and constitutional debates. However, this freedom has frequently been used to legitimize discrimination against underprivileged populations. Arguments based on religious freedom have the potential to transform cultural and religious landscapes, elevating political views and cultural practices to the level of religious necessity. This elevation can mask the importance of balancing religious freedom with other essential values, ensuring that one group’s rights do not trump those of another. Religious scriptures have often been used as tools of oppression, with some of the most heinous examples occurring in the defense of slavery. Slaveholders and their supporters used the Bible, saying that the mention of slavery in the holy text supported its place in the divine social order. They misused texts, such as the account of Cain and Abel and the so-called “curse of Ham,” to claim that God wanted to subjugate black people into slavery. This exploitation of religious scriptures gave credence to deeply ingrained prejudices and structural injustices. Similarly, religious scriptures have been and continue to be used to justify discrimination against LGBTQIA+ people. Misinterpretations and selective readings of this literature have perpetuated negative stereotypes and stigmatized people whose identities and experiences differ from hetero-normative expectations. This has caused significant harm by creating conditions of intolerance and exclusion. The argument that “being gay is not a sin” confronts these long-standing misconceptions. It is a plea to reconsider how religious beliefs are used to justify exclusion and to acknowledge the inherent dignity and worth of LGBTQIA+ people. While promoting a message of love, acceptance, and harmony, this book aims to dispel the myths that have grown out of such misinterpretations. Love knows no bounds and has an infinite power to heal and unite. Love and understanding will create a more compassionate and inclusive world. In the following chapters, we will look at this subject's historical, theological, and cultural aspects, providing insights and viewpoints that affirm the humanity and worth of LGBTQIA+ people. We will spotlight disadvantaged voices and celebrate the diversity of the human experience. This is our contribution to creating a world where all people are appreciated and respected, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. By confronting the misuse of religious freedom and pushing for a balanced approach that respects everyone’s rights and dignity, we may work toward a future in which love and acceptance triumph over prejudice and discrimination.
