Quote:The Vatican braces for yet another sex scandal after a prostitution ring consisting of poor, immigrant boys, many underage, operating inside the Holy Roman Church and servicing clergy and high ranking church officials, is exposed.

Now we know why they like to cover up the abuse cases.

The more I hear about the catholic church, the more disgusted I get

I would have to agree. This is not something new.

Was that ever even in doubt? They don't lose their urges because they put on a cardinal's hat!

Quote:Convicted pedophile priest Don Patrizio Poggi, who served a five-year sentence for abusing five 14 and 15-year-old boys at his parish on the outskirts of the Italian capital
One year per abused child. I'm sure that'll send a strong message to any other priests thinking of fucking young boys.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Celibacy really fucks people up, doesn't it?

Might be the reverse, takes a fucked up person to make a run at the whole celibacy bit. Or maybe it;s unrelated, maybe fucked up people and people who would consider celibacy fall on a venn somewhere along the lines of the number of freckles on their shoulders.
 hrugs:
I think catholicism accounts for the whole bit nicely, personally.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

These fuckers are not particularly "celibate" though.

No, but I've often found that attempting to live their lives celibate turn out to be the worst kind of perverts.
Or maybe that's why they were trying to be celibate in the first place?

The catholic church should either let the priests marry or castrate them then then have no urge to fuck there alter boys.
