RE: Damned Catholics
Here was me thinking transparency and cover-ups were polar opposites.

Quote:

Pope Francis has strongly defended the Roman Catholic Church's record on tackling sexual abuse by priests.

In a rare interview with an Italian newspaper, the Pope said "no-one else has done more" to root out paedophilia.

He said the Church had acted with transparency and responsibility, yet it was the only institution to have been attacked.

Last month, the UN strongly criticised the Vatican for failing to stamp out child abuse and for allowing cover-ups.
'Shocking' statistics

In his interview with Corriere della Sera published on Wednesday, Pope Francis said: "The Catholic Church is perhaps the only public institution to have acted with transparency and responsibility.

"No-one else has done more. Yet the Church is the only one to have been attacked."


That new pope is really turning out to be a major fuckwad. Crowing triumphant over the sex abuse crisis seems premature with so many lawsuits pending.

Crime against humanity springs to mind as a descriptive for the church's conduct todate in regards to pedophilia.

Did anyone really expect anything different? You don't get to be the fucking pope by being a man of god. You get it by being a more ruthless politician than the rest of the holy fuckballs.

Quote:NEW DELHI (AP) — An Indian court has recommended that the government extradite a Roman Catholic priest wanted in the United States on charges of sexually assaulting a teenage parishioner in Minnesota, a lawyer in the case said Sunday.

Quote:Vatican officials recommended Jeyapaul's removal from the priesthood, but the local Indian bishop instead sentenced him to a year in a monastery through a canonical trial.

Quote:Equating laws allowing same sex couples to get married and women to make reproductive choices for themselves with a “state religion,” the head of the Chicago Catholic diocese said the U.S. government is no different than countries imposing Sharia law on their citizens, reports Right Wing Watch.

Unlike what most people think, the new people is just trying to make Christianity look better, the aim is to propagate Christian faith as much as possible, specially amongst the young - The less religious people.

I've always thought he was a fucktard, unlike most people I know that think he is different and a good change for the church's dogma

If you set the bar low enough the most insignificant effort looks good. In the past they not only did nothing to stop it they worked their asses off to cover it up.

? And a sled dog?

Quote:A defrocked Catholic priest was found guilty Friday of raping dozens of children and a sled dog in the Canadian Arctic, where he worked as a missionary for decades.

The Belgian-born Eric Dejaeger, 67, was convicted of 31 counts of sexual offenses against children and one count of bestiality.

Any port in a storm, I guess.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
