It's not his hand you're supposed to kiss, it's his ring.
I can just see myself if he ever held his ring out to me for a smooch : "Say, how much is that thing worth?" |

Excuse my legal ignorance, but isn't what the church did in the US a crime? They KNEW a felony had taken place (the molestings) and CONTINUED to let it happen again and again with priests they knew were dangerous! To me this seems like: conspiracy (several times over), reckless endangerment of a minor, contributing to the deliquency of a minor, and probably a whole host of other indictments against the Catholic Church higher ups. Why haven't some of the superiors (a.k.a. the Boston Cardinal etc) who let this happen REPEATEDLY been haulded before a judge?!?!
I say take 'em all down! |

Hey, this is the same church that took 400 hundred years or so to admit they were wrong about Galileo. I think this was pretty quick decision making for them.

Damnit, I had a link regarding gay, criminal and paedophile popes, but I've forgotten it. I'll go and look for it and show you.
Edit: it's here at <a href="http://www.antichrist.com.au/popes/popecont.html" target="_blank">antichrist.com</a>. [ April 25, 2002: Message edited by: Captain Pedantic ]</p> |
