European Catholic Clergy Faces Fallout From Sex ScandalPosted on Apr 22, 2010
Two more high-profile figures are paying the price for their parts, however direct or oblique, in the child abuse scandal still rippling through the ranks of the Catholic church. By Thursday, the Vatican had officially retired Irish Bishop James Moriarty and was fielding German Bishop Walter Mixa’s resignation offer as other European members of the clergy worked to contain the fallout in the face of more potential damage to clergymen’s careers, not to mention the church’s public image. —KA

Renzo,
What these ‘overseers’ of children, blind deaf dumb and
crippled, do is horrific enough but under the guise of a religious
institution which has perpetrated much much more horrific
deeds just because they think they are a ‘gateway’ to a god
really doesn’t set well with me and yeah, these old coots who
got their jollies from pseudo religious playacting would deserve
such that I described, that is why it is so amusing to me.
And for me, it goes back, way back to a point that is claimed to
give legitimacy to these crackpots you like, you believe in them,
fine, don’t waste your time trying to convince me, I know better
and so do those esoteric withholders claiming to be some god’s
right hand man.
Why don’t you make a plea to the vatican to bring all those relics
Report thisout of the basement into the day of light to let all see what we
may see.

Your prison fantasies are amusing, but old men do not generally get raped upon arrival in prison, nor upon staying in prison. It is mostly the young and pretty ones. The most child-like. Finally, it is not something to be proud of - that sending someone to prison means he will be raped, once twice or many times. That is not the sentence, yet everyone makes fun of it.

Retired, it says. Still means the laity will have fork up the bucks
to support these pedophiles and now I would think the catholics
will get a bill in the mail declaring a mandatory 20% tithe to
augment the cost of retiring these poor old souls, instead of
sending them to serve some time with bubba who will ‘return’
the favor.
Seems to be contest to see which can be more despicable, the
Report thiscatholics or the izrealis, sodomy or genocide.
