Paedophilia is hardly a joke...
However, if you're assuming that I was accusing the pope in jest then you're thoroughly mistaken. The vatican has a long record of this sort of thing and there isn't much that is endearing about the pope's claim that they can 'mend' priests or bishops who have been found guilty of sexual offences. The church flexes its muscles on a whole manner of cases where the clergy are involved and this is simply the one I chose for effect because of the severity of the crime.
Religion is an attempt to answer the philosophical questions of the unphilosophical man.
