The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

You'd think it would help your reputation better to shame and banish people who abuse children, rather than cover it up. Eventually the truth will get out, especially when crimes continue to go unpunished by enough people.

You must protect the pervy priests other wise people will lose respect for the church.

Given that they're currently well known as a group that will screw your child if left alone with them, I'd say it didn't work out too well.

Welp, literally the only surprise here is that Tolkien had a son who moved to Alabama. Yes, the problem really is so insidious that that’s the only real surprise.

Okay, scratch that, it’s the other Birmingham, the one in England, so we now have far less of a surprise here.

The suffering of the innocent is par for the course for these scumbags and their almighty ruthless, sadistic prick. Is anyone really surprised by this colossal fuckwad move?

Isn't this just a microcosm of the Catholic church as a whole? Institutional paedophilia has been going on for ages.... disgusting!!
