Damned Catholics

[Tonus]

So it turns out that the Catholic Church is having troubles with its "poles." Not terribly surprising.

That's been their problem for a while now. Maybe they're taking that bible phrase to heart about "thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."

Caught another one of the bastards!

In this new case, Brennan is charged with rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, and aggravated indecent assault in connection with alleged incidents that took place between 1998 and 2001 when the victim was 11 to 14 years old, according to Williams.

Wonder if pope frank will make him a saint, too?

I hated Catholicism when I called myself one ( went to a Catholic school)... hated it even more when I became a Christian... now I see it all as the same.

Pretty much.

You can't trust a catholic with anything, it seems.

While it is difficult to estimate how many people are covered by church plans, five new lawsuits against some of the nation's largest Catholic hospital chains show the designation is embraced by employers whose scale and finances are very different from houses of worship or religious denominations. Some of their independently maintained pension plans cover tens of thousands of workers and are significantly underfunded.

The bastards are always fucking somebody.

I thought their pension and medical care were funded by the "god will provide" insurance company. Your plan is underfunded? Just A/S/K for some coverage!

My cousins up in Minnesota mentioned that there a big scandal breaking up in MN. Their public radio station, (MPR) did an investigation following a disclosure of one of that diocese's Canon lawyers, (a lady), who was a whistle-blower. The Vicar of the diocese just resigned, and people are calling for an investigation of the archbishop, for covering up known child porn she said she saw, and tried to report, found on a priest's computer.

This fish truly does stink from the head down.

Another scumbag who thinks saying "sorry" is enough.

Roman Catholic bishops rarely serve as Page 1 tabloid fodder or top the national television ratings. But the prelate of Limburg earned this dubious distinction in 24 hours last week as outrage swelled after the news media reported the cost of the renovation of his residence, about $42 million, and a state prosecutor in Hamburg charged him with lying in a legal case.

n September, as thousands of Catholics signed petitions for and against him, the bishop, whose diocese of 682,000 believers includes rural Rhineland but also Frankfurt, the banking metropolis, begged forgiveness from all whom he might have “hurt and disappointed.”

I bet pappy jesus told him "everything is fine....go fuck an altarboy."
