And the Church of Pedophilia just needs to STFU.

You can't make this shit up!

...Or is it the "law of nature" that allows your employees to fuck little boys?

Maybe somebody should ask the good archdiocese how many little boys he molested this week.

Some of their Greatest Hits:
Anderson: "Archbishop, you knew it was a crime for an adult to engage in sex with a kid."

Carlson: "I'm not sure I knew whether it was a crime or not. I understand today it's a crime."

Anderson: "When did you first discern it was a crime for an adult to engage in sex with a kid?"

Carlson: "I don't remember."

Anderson: "When did you first discern that it was a crime for a priest to engage in sex with a kid who he had under his control?"

Carlson: "I don't remember that either."

Anderson: "Do you have any doubt in your mind that you knew that in the '70s?"

Carlson: "I don't remember if I did or didn't."

Anderson: "In 1984, you are a bishop, an auxiliary bishop in the archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis. You knew it was a crime then, right?"

Carlson: "I'm not sure if I did or didn't."

Archdiocese of St. Louis fights judge's order to release unprecedented level of abuse records.

His covering up for child-molesting priests is going to cost the ordinary, law-abiding Catholics in his diocese millions. This sort of nonsense is why I left the Catholic church years ago. I had hopes that Pope Francis might do something to get rid of these enabler bishops but he seems rather more interested in cleaning up the church's financial mismanagement (admittedly a major priority) than dealing with his church's greatest moral failing since the failing to denounce the Holocaust.

My mother would have died happy if I'd returned to Catholicism while she lived but right now I'm perfectly content to be an agnostic most of the time and a Christmas and Easter Lutheran.

But I'm a dreamer.

Why is that, Rug? Where is the "enlightened" Pope Francis?

Alternately you can mail the pope via usual mail at this address:

His Holiness, Pope Francis PP.
00120 Via del Pellegrino
Citta del Vaticano

Assuming your post was made in sincerity.

Now, if you're implying something altogether different, you can state it to me clearly, I think.

As a non-Catholic, it doesn't seem as though my opinion would make any difference to a Pope.

I don't imply things, rug. I state them.

And yes, you do, MineralMan. You frequently imply many things. Often unsuccessfully.

But never mind.

Not that it explains this:

With that, my participation in this subthread is over.

Screw them and their "laws of nature."

Out of time. Out of place. Out of reason. That's the Roman Catholic Church today. Just out.

I would advise the archdiocese that the dark ages have past and enlightened society has replaced the Roman church.
A Civilized people do not need the advise of this archaic institution.

the one where bears give each other blow jobs?

where apes indulge in same sex activities?

how about the gay penguin natural law?

the list can go on.

the archbishop should shut up because he's an idiot.

Go back to the dark ages assholes, it is where you belong

However, we should be supplying them with all the evidence we can that shows the Catholic church no longer qualifies for its tax exemption.

We might be biting off more than we can chew if the churches make it their business to be involved in politics, but we can sure as hell (pun intended) make it more expensive for them and their financial supporters to do so.

I hope you are familiar with these guys and this song in particular
