I can be uncivil enough for the both of us.
I'd be willing to shit 3 times on herr von popenfuhrer.
Yeah Min: I guess you and I are biased as recovering Catholics, we are both contemptuous of Catholicism.
BUT I agree with Tiberius in that I do not support attacking an individual only because of a huge group to which he belongs. THAT is pure bigotry.
If King Charles says something with which I disagree, I may challenge him,or not. He's fair game but pretty boring so far.

Tiberius; I am disappoint that you felt it necessary to mention that you know the guy. Doing so implied that makes him deserving of special consideration.Not from me. Nor will I attack him because he is a theist/Catholic .I do try not be a bigot,although I don't always succeed. I WILL continue to attack the Catholic Church and the Pope without compunction.
Quote:So you can't expect them to be up to your standards.
I don't. I expect them to obey the the law of the land,which they ignore at will. Official church policy is that Canon law trumps civil law;it does not. THAT makes them corrupt. The church has actively protected pedophile priests since the FIFTH CENTURY, AS POLICY .THAT makes them fucking corrupt as an institution and as individuals.
Inquisition. Crusades. Public torture and executions. "Tithe for atonements." Immediately supporting the Nazi Party, supporting militant regimes across Africa, the Conquistadors,
And your worried about a few priests, having sex with boys and girls? What a prude ha ha ha ha haha fuck me dead.
Mind you the priests did break their vow of celibacy so they should go and flagellate themselves senseless. And the children burnt at stakes for seducing them. Instead the Church paid out millions in compensation to these perverted children, just goes to show how much power the Catholic Church has lost.
