Damned Catholics

[Minimalist]

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.

More info comes out.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Attorneys for the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis were seeking to put out a fire, not start a new one, when they asked a judge this month to keep private a list of Roman Catholic clergy believed to have molested children.

The court proceeding produced no definitive ruling on whether that document would be released, as victims are seeking, but it did reveal new details that intensified the crisis.

A judge entered into the public record a police report church attorneys had cited about a priest's cache of porn kept in church archives for eight years, unleashing a cascade of new revelations about how the archdiocese responded when confronted with allegations of sexual misconduct.

In the days leading up to the Oct. 3 hearing, church officials already were fending off a canon lawyer who quit the archdiocese and was now accusing administrators of ignoring warnings in the last several years about at least two priests.

He's probably looked at American televangelists and thought, "Well, if they can live the high life while doing the Lord's work, why can't I?"

A former Roman Catholic priest accused of sexually assaulting a teenage boy at gunpoint was convicted this afternoon of trying to hire a hit man to kill the boy.

But elsewise,
Not more-so than anyone else, and certainly less so for their beliefs.

I can't stand their beliefs, but I can't shy away from their beauty.

What's the point here? That people are sinful and need to keep strong against temptations of flesh? Big deal, dolts. What is your point? Wanna talk child abuse? Ok. Ill throw out a new news clipping EVERY DAY of some teacher getting arrested in USA for abuse. Our school systems are statistically WAY MORE likely to abuse child than any christian parish. Priests are no more likely than ministers or imams or Buddhist monks and LESSlikely than teachers or scout leaders or Big Brother volunteers to abuse kids. Take off your lazy atheist blinders. Besides, I laugh because in your world, there should be nothing wrong with rape. Whether frak cares if an qnimal or human has sex with another of their species if no God? We live we die the we are work feed right? I laugh because you all are so wispy washy as to think there are objective morality from the judo Christian upbringing you all had but now you all want to throw out the god you can't measure, but still keep his rules!! Be either hot or cold. If lukewarm atheists I will want to vomit you !! Why not maximize your pleasure while on earth? In grand scheme of things it all shouldn't matter! Hilarious. Sad.

At gunpoint? I guess the threat of eternal damnation doesn't carry the weight it once did.

The day that one of these organizations preaches the moral high ground while simultaneously ensuring that child molesters never meet justice and are shuffled off to another area where they most assuredly will rape another child, maybe your comparison will be valid. Until then, keep your stupidity to yourself.

One doesn't need to have objective morality to think rape is wrong, but I wouldn't expect an intellectual heavyweight like yourself to understand.

If only you could blame your idiocy on your iPad, too. Sadly, you get all the credit for that.
