It's a fact though, Catholic priests HAVE touched little boys. But why if you don't go to church every sunday, if you don't even pray, would you get offended by something like that?
My wife gets pissed if I mention this, or if I tear down the pope as she considers herself Catholic even though the Catholic church disagrees(apparently if you get married outside of the church you are no longer Catholic even though if you want to marry a non-Catholic, he/she must convert to marry in the church).
The other day I was watching a kid's show with my wife and son and they were singing a song called 'Hugs are Fun.' Now my son isn't quite one yet so he doesn't understand this but I made a joke about watching out for "special" hugs. After a brief pause I then said, "Which is why you have to be careful if mommy takes you to church."
She was fucking pissed.
