Damned Catholics

Cardinal Sean O'Malley rebukes the pope:

Quote:

O'Malley's carefully worded critique was remarkable since it's rare for a cardinal to publicly rebuke the pope in such terms. But Francis' remarks were so potentially toxic to the Vatican's yearslong effort to turn the tide on decades of clerical sex abuse and cover-up that he clearly felt he had to respond.
O'Malley headed Francis' much-touted committee for the protection of minors until it lapsed last month after its initial three-year mandate expired. Francis has not named new members, and the committee's future remains unclear.

Meanwhile, in Holy Roman Catholic Ireland, that bastion of the Catholic faith, the church was required to compensate their victims. 

Well, I say required, but they declined to do so and in fact paid lip service to their victims and immediately told them to foxtrot oscar. They repeated it in the US, they are repeating it in south america and they will be repeating it in Africa. In fact, the RCC was instrumental in genocide in Rwanda and tried to cover it up.

ETA: And let us not forget the RCC antipodean fiasco.

Catholic school removes wall in front of girls' toilets

Pictures sent to The Independent show that the toilet cubicle doors are now exposed to an open corridor, and are in clear sight of at least one classroom and a CCTV camera.

It is believed that the decision has been made by the school in a bid to stop smoking, bullying and truancy, with the new layout meaning pupils can no longer hide in between lessons.
Parents are keeping their children at home in protest against a Merseyside school’s decision to remove the front wall of a girls’ toilet block, which they say is making pupils feel “scared and unsafe”.

What? It took them so long to feel “scared and unsafe” inside a Catholic building.

“It’s only in recent years that the demand [for exorcisms] has risen exponentially,” Father Pat Collins said, adding that anyone who doesn’t see the need for more exorcists is “out of touch with reality.”

Collins wrote an open letter to Irish bishops asking them to begin training more priests to deal with exorcisms, and he cited the International Association of Exorcists’ belief that demonic activity has increased substantially in recent years.

These priests spend way to much time in the church breathing that stuffy air and that lack of oxygen corrodes their brain.

Jesus, how much more of this sort of thing are we talking about now ?

Oh no Pope Francis is full of shit! I know, what a surprise.
Last month when Pope visited Chile he said "The day they bring me proof against Bishop Barros, then I will speak. There is not a single piece of proof against him. Everything is slander. Is this clear?"

And yet Pope had plenty of evidence.

A victim of a paedophile priest in Chile has revealed he wrote to the Pope in 2015 about an alleged cover-up after Francis denied getting evidence.

Juan Carlos Cruz, a victim of cleric Fernando Karadima in the 1980s, accused fellow priest Juan Barros of witnessing the abuse and doing nothing.
Mr Cruz told the BBC that Cardinal O'Malley had called him later in 2015 to say he had given the letter to the Pope.

I have always thought of the Catholic Church to be laughable. Namely, the fact that the pope is supposed to be the voice of god.

As a formed catholic with whom The pope-bit never sat right, i can't say it's dumber than taking The word of televangelists on faith.
It's dumb. Don't get me wrong. It's just not exceptional in The world of religion.

Pope Fuckface needs more demon fighters.  Is there no bottom to the stupidity barrel of catholicks?

The Vatican hopes to step up its game against demon possessions with a week-long international conference in April to address a threefold increase in demand in Italy alone for the services of exorcists.
The church is particularly alarmed over the uneven skills of some of its current exorcists and worried about priests who are no longer willing to learn the techniques.
The assessment is a major finding of a four-day meeting in Sicily that included testimony on sects and Satanism, according to Vatican Radio.
One of the organizers of the Sicily gathering, Friar Beningo Palilla, told Vatican Radio there are some 500,000 cases requiring exorcism in Italy each year.

What a pile of shit.

That they take seriously. 1500 years of self documented child abuse not so much.
