Yeah, the only difference being they don't have the megabucks to fling around in legal fees or the total diplomatic immunity most of the Bishops and Cardinals enjoy. Having their own country kinda drags the spotlight on them too.

Again though INTERPOL should do something i mean when it comes to children fuck it just fuck all of it and religion children are being harmed and molested by preachers religion and money should not override anything like that.

Oh, but we don't want to insult their faith by prosecuting them for crimes.

I don't think Interpols got the balls honestly, the Vatican is a major player in the finacial market (The Institute for the Works of Religion a.k.a the Vatican bank) is one of the major players on the stock market, is gaining considerable political power around the world (Philippines, South Korea and several African States notably) and any slight on the secular Vatican State will be interpreted by Catholics, as well as a good deal of other Christians as Nero-esqe persecution.

There are just some fish that are too big to put in the pan and the RC, now at any rate, is one of them.

The only noodle that should enter a child's mouth is pasta. Honestly though their crimes need to be put on blast. A lot of coverage and protests should be done.

If not criticized by other Christians then by at least the irreligious and atheist alike.

Christians need to start voting with their feet about this. Less supporters is less money, and that's gonna motivate them.

But indeed, get some fucking accountability for these bastards. They're not special just because the believe in bullshit.

I'd like to see long prison terms: child molestation for the molesters, and obstruction of justice for any higher-ranking authority who reassigns molesters in the hopes of covering up the crimes.

That's the beauty of it though with Catholics, they can't. They think if they don't go to Church on Sundays they're going to hell. I think St Catherine of Siena said that "Even if the Pope were Satan, we must sit in obedience for God wills it we show the same obedience to him as to Peter" or something to that effect. No batter how bad the priest is, there is no excuse ever to not attend and submit to the church.

If it's a choice between suffering hell or an altar boy getting it up the ass a lot of them will choose the latter.

It's such a brilliant con. That and the idea of "faith" being a virtue.

Who knew God would be the ultimate grifter.

Wake up people! Stop getting conned by these fuck potatoes.

I'm actually going to go out on a limb here and say faith is a virtue, although not quite as they portray it. People put faith in all kinds of things, scholarly opinions of the educated, friends, family. Having faith in someone is a huge sign of respect and affection.

My dog probably has faith in me because I look after and feed him, although he's got no guarantee I'll continue to do so he still guards the house while I'm asleep or at work.

As for these guys...It's just plain old fear dude, these guys have an air of authority and have been around a very long time. They do some good things too which wins them affection in poorer parts of the world I admit, but at what cost.

Did they also determine if it was filmed there?
