I think it’s quite consistent that a church demonizes adult sexual relations, including heterosexual relations, but is a haven for pedophiles and pederasts. One man I knew who grew up Catholic said that sex with women was portrayed so grotesquely he thought it logical that men would have sex with other men. Being a healthy individual, he chose adult men not children.

It’s all about controlling people, and controlling people through their sexuality is a foundation block of authoritarianism. Doesn’t authoritarianism equal the Roman Catholic Church? And fundamentalism of all stripes, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, etc?

But the funny thing about sexuality is that it seems to break out no matter what some idiot in funny clothes tells you to do. Look at all the whacko Christians, including those in Congress, and the shenanigans they get up to! I don’t think it’s just to keep us entertained.

Accountability has a new meaning. Damn…  guess if I was Catholic the Hale Mary thing sounds like a mighty good deal to me, but I still do not understand why the Catholic Church is against gay marriage sort of like the Mormons, but then they seem to condone or look the other way when it comes to in-house pedophiles?

Let me understand this ‘their resignation would help bring peace to their victims’! what about goping to jail and being castrated?
I am not going to spend more time with this Catholic Church and their useless Pope but I can say this - If this was a minor cult they would have already been banned everywhere and the Pope himself would have been in jail for coverup. This all issue only shows the weakness of our political systems and their coward leaders.
