When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life.

Beautifully done. Clap
And we all know Nostradamus did predict the fall of the Roman Catholic church. *tongue in cheek* Can't happen soon enough, when it comes to this issue.

In America I'd love to see children that are raped and tortured by priests afforded the same rights as any child who would lodge such a complaint against anyone else. To see police walk into a church or rectory and walk out with a black clad collared alleged pedophile in cuffs before them, would be a beautiful thing.
As it stands what seems to be happening is authorities are giving the Holy See permission as wolves to police their own pack. Great idea! Keeps the lambs within the circle of rapists safe and sound.
"In life you can never be too kind or too fair; everyone you meet is carrying a heavy load. When you go through your day expressing kindness and courtesy to all you meet, you leave behind a feeling of warmth and good cheer, and you help alleviate the burdens everyone is struggling with."

Bravo for the Irish. A little slow on the uptake but now they are coming on like gang busters!

http://apnews.excite.com/article/2011072...6Q283.html

Quote:DUBLIN (AP) - From the pews and pulpits, Ireland's Catholics are demanding that the Vatican finally come clean on its oversight role in child abuse cover-ups.

It's a revolution of sorts in Ireland, a nation founded on a pillar of devotion to Roman Catholicism, where many now question the church's role in a rapidly changing society. For decades Irish leaders let archbishops vet proposed laws, declared they were Catholics first and Irishmen second, and saw crossing the church as a surefire way to lose office.

No longer.

The Irish are broadly lauding this week's thunderbolt from Prime Minister Enda Kenny, who denounced the Vatican's role in the past 17 years of abuse scandals. He accused the Holy See of downplaying "the rape and torture of children" and hiding behind its status as a sovereign state with its own secrecy-obsessed canon laws.

Now, what all these catholic shitheads have to learn is that there is no reform possible for this gang of thieves ( Luther's mistake...he replaced one pile of shit with another ) it can only be tossed into the dumpster.
