In Maryland for example the Church was supportive of dropping all the statue of limitations for child sexual abuse going forward. The other thing the Church is against is making sure that the law changing statues is equally applied to things like public schools and,not just targeting the Church. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

Mosca Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 22 Posts: 730 | When I old enough to go to confession, but before puberty, I wondered why playing with myself was a sin. Because whenever I did a jigsaw puzzle, or set up my army men, it didn’t feel like a sin. But I confessed to playing with myself anyhow, because I was supposed to. Now I wonder if Father Griffith thought I was one masturbation crazed 11 year old. True story. |

As well you should have. It's not a 'sin', it's a normal bodily function. What kind of sick pervo god has nothing better to do than watching kids jerk off. Imagine a perv priest hearing confessions by 11 year olds about this. You just know they got carpel tunnel from all the exercise their left hand got on their side of the conffession booth. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

FrGamble Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 67 Posts: 7596 | Yeah it is not a serious sin especially as we are growing up, but it is very important to learn how to direct our lustful feelings into healthy and appropriate ways. Never more important than today in our sex saturated culture. I think people make a much bigger deal about "playing with ourselves" than God does. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

Translation: At some point you have to stop visualizing the 13 year old girl next door and work up to Playboy centerfolds. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

But here's the thing: I was confusing playing BY myself with playing WITH myself. I wasn't masturbating, I didn't even know what that was. |

I hear you, it was a funny story. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |
