This is how the Roman Catholics roll

[poindexter]

Outstanding story about a detective's diligence in finding a victim of pedophelia...

And the never-ending coverup by the organization which instituted the country's largest institutionalized, organized pedophelia ring ever, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese.

This is also how Pulitzers are won.
What a great, great story.
Good grab, poin'.

Every time I read a story where the pope or Archbishop So-and-so moralizes on abortion, sex before marriage, politics or what-have-you, I think about stories like this one where the Catholic Church went out of its way to bury a sexual-molestation case.

The church has sacrificed all of its moral authority, and it's because of cases like this one.

Heard this precise point raised, in many an establishment . . . and the true believers just cringe -- and don't say a word.

It's simply indefensible. Routine, but also indefensible. Your basic priests cringe at it too though. They're even more embarassed.

God, if never ceases to shock me, though, that this was ****ing systemic.

It wasn't rogue anything. Now, that doesn't mean that the average priest is a pedophile. But it damn well does mean that the church as a whole bears a stunning amount of responsibility.

The cover-up begins and ends in Rome.

Until these child-raping scum are fired and prosecuted en masse, the Church cannot opine on the state of society.

Just remember, boys . . . the first one's always free!


They know just where they can shove their collection plates.

They've all left.

It'll fall to Pope George Ringo I to clean out the perverts with a flamethrower.

**** like this is why I'm a recovering Catholic. These people told me I'd go to hell for eating meat on Fridays yet can't figure out what to do about the kid ****ers. **** you, and I would like my 11 years of Catholic school tuition repaid...with interest.

I no longer feel guilty about skipping catechism one Wednesday night in fall '97 to watch the end of the ALCS.

YOU HEAR THAT, MRS. MCMILLAN?! YOU HOLIER-THAN-THOU *****!!!

(whew) I feel better.

hiding this **** is the same as condoning it.
