The Pope - After a Week In 'Murrica

[Kingpin]

Ever buy something at Wal-Mart?  Ever buy Nike shoes?

Wal-mart and Nike are scumbag corporations.  They do not pretend to be a moral arbiter which tries to tell people how to live their lives.

Let's be fair here.  We all agree that child molestation is abhorrent.  We all agree that perpetrators and those that help them should be held accountable.  We all agree that victims should be compensated.

If only the bishops, archbishops, cardinals and popes did.

There are equally as many scandals and cover up in our local, state and federal governments.  I think what might be a better option is if the RCC operated more like an electoral democracy where leaders are voted in and can be voted out.  But it's more of a theocracy and top down appointment.  This leaves the masses little option when decrying the moral failures of their leaders.
