Quote:...the scandal must be seen in a broader social context, in which child pornography is seemingly considered normal by society ...
WTF!!! Outrageous!

'The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and seal. It could not be expressed better.'
-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens
"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".
- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)
"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!

Every Catholic should be outraged by the utter bullshit that comes out of this Pope's mouth!

You all forget he's infallible.
He'll blame the children next for provoking their sexual interests
If that fails, satan's demons of pedophilia are responsible for the psychiatric disorder.

What society is this?
This headline reminds me of an Onion Article:

I normally don't wish this upon people, but: I hope he gets raped.

... If the biblical god existed, how the fuck would he be able to bear being associated with his followers? One would think he'd have committed suicide from embarrassment by now.
