The Old Christians invented Monasticism and Abstention from Women
The Brave Pope Benedict made one of his strongest apologies to victims of sexual
abuse by Roman Catholic priests Saturday in London, while thousands of marchers staged the biggest protest of any of his trips abroad.
He said in his sermon in the towering cathedral built in the late 19th century.
"I think of the immense suffering caused by the abuse of children, especially within the Church and by her ministers. Above all, I express my deep sorrow to the innocent victims of these unspeakable crimes ...,"
(Reuters, Sept. 18, 2010)
However, this Pope' sermon about the sexual abuse committed by the Roman Catholic priests is mentioned briefly in the Quran.
This socio-religious problem used to appear every now and then in the Western Media e.g. Movies, TV and Newspaper without any positive response from the Vatican. Therefore, I am really impressed of this brave Pope Benedict who talks about this unspeakable issue that has been well-known for a long time!
Furthermore, there is one further step waiting this brave Pope that is to let the Priests live their normal sexual life. They do that in the Eastern Churches.
Also, the Vatican allows the African Roman Catholic Priests to have even more than one spouse (Polygamy).
O brave Pope, why it is OK for an African Roman Catholic Priest to marry and to satisfy his sexual needs and it is forbidden for an American or European priest to do that? O brave Pope and let all the Priests live their normal physiological lives.
On the other hand, it is really a great social and moral Prophecy of the Noble Quran that prophesizes about the crimes committed by the Christian priests. Hence, the Quran is ahead of Pope Benedict in disclosing the Christian priests' crimes.
Although the Quran talks generally, however, it exactly diagnoses the moral illness of the Christian priests. The point is that Allah did not prescribe for them the abstention from women but they invented what is called monasticism on their part.
That is why; there is no priesthood in Islam. There is no abstention from sex and women in Islam. There is None In Between you and Allah. If you sin, and all human beings are sinful, you just confess and apologize to Allah DIRECLY and ask His Forgiveness. And He will forgive you. None can forgive you but your Almighty Creator, the Forgiver.
In Islam, Muslims do not confess to anyone but Allah.
What if the priest you confess to him is more sinful than you.
In the verses 57:26-27, the Quran talks about the faith- followers from Noah and Abraham up to the time of Jesus and his followers.
The verses 57:26 says:
Allah verily sent Noah and Abraham to their folk and established in their line the prophethood and the Scripture; i.e. they had among their seed prophets and scriptures.
And among the seed of Noah and Abraham there is he who is believer and goes right; but many of them are disbelievers and evil-livers.
The verses 57: 27 says:
Then Allah sent His messengers, as well as Jesus son of Mary, to follow in their footsteps, to follow Noah and Abraham from their respective offspring.
And Allah gave Jesus the Gospel, and Allah placed in the hearts of those who followed him (in submitting to Allah) compassion and mercy.
But they (Jesus' followers) invented on their part monasticism, namely, abstention from sex and women and seclusion in monasteries.
Allah had not prescribed monasticism for them, Allah did not enjoin them to it; but they took it on only seeking Allah's pleasure.
Yet they did not observe it with due observance, for many of them are immoral and evil-doers

The verses 57:26-27 (Yusuf Ali translation):
26) And we sent Noah and Abraham, and established in their line prophethood and revelation: and some of them were on right guidance. But many of them became rebellious transgressors.
27) Then, in their wake, we followed them up with (others of) our messengers: we sent after them Jesus the son of Mary, and bestowed on him the Gospel; and we ordained in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy. But the monasticism which they invented for themselves, we did not prescribe for them: (we commanded) only the seeking for the good pleasure of Allah; but that they did not foster as they should have done. Yet we bestowed, on those among them who believed, their (due) reward, but many of them are rebellious transgressors.
