Ex-Pope Benedict XVI blames 1960s revolution for sex abuse

Yeah, because we are to believe that this rape culture established itself and propagated itself uniformly throughout the world in one generation.

When you consider all the other bullshit the church has tried to convince people of - virgin births, talking snakes, rising from the dead and walking on water - this latest is almost believable....

I mean - we KNOW the 1960' s existed.................

No, the 1960's were just a drug fueled dream!

I knew it, I knew it. 

It was all those braless, mini skirt wearing young boys.

What the hell were we thinking?

It's an interesting hypothesis, one that would almost certainly be undermined if, for instance, there was anything like, say, a document from the church written before the sexual revolution that demonstrated that the problem was endemic to the church long before that, especially if it was more or less a restatement of another document written forty years prior. And it would be especially ludicrous if, Jah forbid, Ratzinger himself was the church's lead enforcer of this doctrine for twenty years.

As if, right?

In a way Pope is actually right: sexual revolution is to blame because after people became sexually liberated sex was not a taboo topic for discussion and therefore people talked about how priests and nuns raped them to the degree that even Vatican was pressured to do something.

I mean remember the age of pre sexual revolution in Catholic countries like Ireland, where young unmarried pregnant women had to give their newborn babies to nuns who frequently killed them and sold them - all because sex was a unspeakable shame.

The nuns sold dead babies?  Who the fuck was their market?

I must have been a different kind of Catholic.

Well, aren't you a smartie pants. Yes I should have used "or" instead of "and" because nuns threw babies they killed into a septic tank - so much about the Christian belief in proper burial.

It's also strange how that 1960s sex revolution didn't hit/ influence/ make any other organization to rape kids, like: UNICEF, doctors without borders, NASA, Amnesty International, S.H.A.R.E. but only Catholic church. What gets?
