Quote: "Making a woman a priest is as sinful as abusing a child, the Roman Catholic Church declared yesterday.
New religious rules published by the Vatican set both sins at the same level of gravity and recommended the same punishment for guilty priests."
Also it sounds like the measures (mentioned in the article) they are taking to curb child abuse is equivalent to pissing on a fire. A lot of fancy words perhaps but no real substance. What do all of you think?

The fact that something is a 'sin' has never stopped Catholics or their priests from doing whatever they wanted to do. Am I being too obvious, or what?

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
