Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I think that you'd have to pay more than that for a decent underage hooker in germany. Looks to me like they're shopping for a discount rate on volume.
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!

Yes, but that's rather old news. These cases made big headlines in 2010/11 when the allegations surfaced. Southern Germany, which is mainly catholic and Austria were the hotspots in Europe. Even more so, since, similar to Ireland, there are quite a few catholic boarding schools and orphanages.

Ireland, of course, had similar problems. At the same time, since we're mainly talking about the 60ies, 70ies and early 80ies, when the church had much more power than it has now.

Wait!  Wait!!!


Quote:Weber, who was commissioned by the Catholic diocese of Regensburg, said that former Domspatzen conductor Georg Ratzinger must have known of at least some of the abuses. Ratzinger, the older brother of Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI, has previously denied knowledge of the incidents.

No shit.  Der Panzer Pope was his brother?  Talk about a family affair!

The Catholic Church loves kids. No surprise there.

Where even does the catholic church's obsession with kids come from? That's what i wanna know.

Anecdotal story for the time when the shit first hit the fan. They interviewed a monk about it and he told the story of having locked the abbey entrance in the evening. At the same time, parents with their child walked by, stopped, pointed at him and told their child, they should never approach someone looking like that because it's very dangerous.
