Good religion:
Islamism
Budhism
Hinduism
Christianity
Catholicism


Every religion is wonderful. it seeks what is sacntifiable and untouchable by human hands, hearts and senses. True religion seeks beyond the wall and/or curtains of human understanding.
Indeed it seeks true peace beyond human comprehension and peace which the world cannot give.
True and pure religions seeks not the peace and understanding of the world which the world could not give but beyond. And one finds the real truth among many truths and realities if one is in peace not only with himself and around him and his "God".
It is very dangerous to interpret writings on their own context, left alone interpret them on one's own understanding or little understanding. Indeed human understanding as fallen nature is very fallible "often with mistakes" since human nature still lacks the perfect divinity and true wisdom that comes truly from above.
If "one" truly finds the truth yet it is very conclusive and safe to say that he/she is one with peace and one with God. Since, every aspect of religion on based on the foundation of true peace. "And" in our search for "Heaven" or the word "heaven" termed their is there perfection and perfect peace.

Priesthood - Orders - & Scandals "Suggestions"
It is very sad to hear about our "so-called" Champions in faith, and "Directors of faith!" fall into such very scandalous ordeals.

Yet, to be bluntantly direct, where all right manner of speaking is due.

Please... May I remind you that the vocation for the Holy Order is not that to be taken lightly.

Yet for the sure amount of money or fame or sheer number of recruits... the religious organization has grieveously accepted "members or recruits" without delving or digging deeper into the backgrounds or profiles of this so called "Members of the Higher Order"

What I mean to say, the rigid "rigid test". "rigid trainning" into the religious cornerstone has been removed. They have been willing to "cut corners" so as to speak so that the square peg may fit into the round hole of religiousity. They have been lax. (More priest or order are mostly on the meriment instead of the gloomy life. They live out more confortably now than ever before than their predecessors.) {It has been out of comfort, instead of a necessity}

Ask about the life and times of saints... about religious personal sacrifices - life of the saints in order to merit holiness... Mostly of this recruits and postulants and ordained lack the very discipline and training since early childhood for a life of higher religious order and works.

Some of them specially those young novices, postulants, or entering the seminary live out comfortably in the sense, "They lack the proper trainning for the physical and spiritual warfare that lies ahead" just what do we mean... Ever hardly have they ever read many books about life of the Saints and immersed themselves wholly "as a whole" into their life and times. Even their faith and about the bible and the words and messages. They hardly unable or uncapable of explaining and expounding in it's meanings.

Thus, the enemy indeed is, devil, world and the flesh.
Thus, what comes natural, they easily fall prey to the enticements of the evil one, world and specially of the flesh. Out there specially where the whims of the "media" "so-called modern world, which is degenerative or lost generation".

I'm appalled why such delving into the religious orders, I've heard drinking hard liquor, smoking, watching shows unbecoming whether in media or whatever.
That, is why they have become easy prey and targets from the media, the enemy and many other critics.

Recommendation: There must be a re-education of recruits specially the sacritis - sacritans even those contemplating in entering the religious postulancy-order. Even the head master or prior must be re-educated and re-evaluated. Even ordained or pre-ordained or already in the religious order, there must be a follow-up and checkup of religious and non-religious activities. Thus a general retreat and re-examination and self examination. Thus, enabling them to be better prepared to "combat" or "Flight" and much more avoid such scandals.
