Quelle surprise.

At least they've stepped back from the Renaissance.

I'd like to see a day when the perps are punished.

Honestly, given that, if the scene from Spotlight is accurate, the rate of priestly pedophilia is 6%, the real shock is that 3,200 priests out of 115,000 seems like an unusually low estimate.

Oops, I just posted this in news section, and now I see it was already here.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Okay now, the idea that there's an epidemic of pedo-nuns in the Church actually is a shocker.
