Anyone wanna get furious, for a second?

If so, let's all read about some Polish church officials blaming instances of pedophilia on those damn, promiscuous children!

Yep, that'd do it!

I didn't find the article funny.... yet....I wonders why the author then points to: It reminded me of this satirical piece from The Onion:

..oh the blurb at the bottom of the article:

"In the Polish case, the archidiocese of Lodz announced that disciplinary action has been taken against Bochynski."

Because the things that person was saying were so ridiculous and flagrant they, as the author pointed out, had reached a point where they should have been parody.

..oh the blurb at the bottom of the article:

"In the Polish case, the archidiocese of Lodz announced that disciplinary action has been taken against Bochynski."

Ah, and the fact that action may have been taken in one of the two cases means that any anger I feel that a so called man of god could say such things is invalid?

Two things to note: one is that I wonder what kind of action they're taking? Maybe he's just been moved to another location?

The second is that even if this is legitimate discipline, it's happening against only fifty percent of the cases in question, while the big fish, the head of the Polish Episcopate, the Archbishop who said the same things, is just fine.

What was your point again?

Because your pervert priests are becoming even too big to caricature!

Does just throwing a bunch of words at someone make you look good?

1) It wasn't funny. PERIOD

2) "Maybe"? "I wonder"? "IF" its a ligit discipline?

What kind of point(s) are you making?

My mobile won't open the article, would someone be kind enough to summarize or post the article?

To the people who understand those words, yes.

1) It wasn't funny. PERIOD

It wasn't meant to be. It was meant to draw a saddening parallel between an obvious, real parody, and the terrible things a real person actually believes, all the while considering himself a bastion of morality.

2) "Maybe"? "I wonder"? "IF" its a ligit discipline?

What kind of point(s) are you making?

My point is that, historically, the catholic church would rather cover for the misbehaving of its members in order to keep their reputation intact, rather than meting out real punishment.

Father Ireneusz Bochynski, from the city of Piotrkow Trybunalski in Central Poland, has said he knows of 10-year-old children who “went to bed with adults, wanting to be fulfilled, and it was the choice of the child.”

That's basically the gist of it: catholic priests victim blaming for their own misbehavior.

Strange that the priests that were "seduced" by these evil children were unable to say "no".

Wasn't god giving them enough strength?

I don't even have an appropriate description for the level of anger that inspires.

An appropriate disciplinary action would be an immediate initiation into a eunuchs club for priests.
