Damned Catholics

2%? Is that like, this weeks figures? And if he gave a shit wouldn't be quote the statistic of how many were victims of that "2%"? I'm sure those priests did it to more than one.
Mary Magdalen included in that? What about all the parishioners who are the customers of these porn rings? There wouldn't be a supply without a demand. We are only hitting the tip of the fucked up iceburg I'm sure.

I think 2% figure is bull hoca

Apparently the 2% is after the bribes.

Yes...highly possible.

Ultimately we see the problem with catholics. The church sucks balls but the sheep are the enablers.

Louisiana church posts video of standing ovation for priest after child sex accusations

A Louisiana priest received a standing ovation from his church over the weekend following new details about sexual abuse of a 9-year-old boy in the 1970s.

A report released by Minnesota Public Radio last month included a never-before-published affidavit, which had been sealed by a federal judge in 1995. The document indicated that Father Gilbert Dutel “had been accused of coercing young adult men into having sex.”

“Well, he would just put his arms around me and he was I guess trying to be consoling, kind of gentle and then he just started playing with me and he unzipped my pants,” the victim recalled, according to the affidavit. “He performed oral sex on me.”

And the catholic cunts cheered for him. They are as despicable as the perverts themselves.

This should flame his holiness' holy ass!

"Spotlight" would be a big production involving big names such as Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams, Michael Keaton, Stanley Tucci, Aaron Eckhart and Liev Schreiber. The theme is also controversial, exposing the real-life Boston conspiracy to cover up clergy child abuse.

The title refers to the team of Boston Globe reporters who went on a year of investigation on Catholic Church's decades-long cover-up of its pedophile priests in Massachusetts. They interviewed victims and reviewed thousands of pages of documents and discovered years of cover-ups by Church leadership. Boston Globe went on winning a Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for exposing the scandal.

Here's a film I'll definitely watch.

Uh-huh.

If only The Church cared as much about pedophiles as porn stars

When I read this story, I had the same thought as I have when I read about the Catholic Church trying to save or ex-communicate “homosexuals.” Before worrying about other people’s sex lives, and consensual relationships, shouldn’t the institution concentrate on stomping out the sexual abuse that its leadership enables and/ or engages in? As of 2011, over 800 people came forward to say they had been victims of child abuse from within the Austrian Catholic Church. While a woman may face jail for sexy-time videos, Cardinal Hans Hermann Groer served no jail time and was allowed to resign amidst several allegations of sexual assault.

Oddly, while reading the story I had Tim Minchin's song careening around my head.

Here you go. Just to get it out of your head so everyone else can enjoy:
