Super-
This isn’t aimed at you in particular - But whenever I hear a statement like this I’m amazed by how off the mark it is. These despicable acts you refer to- these acts of sexual perversion- are the works of sexual perverts - Not priests, not nuns - perverts. Scumbags. Period.
Irony? Irony is the idea being floated about that fewer children would be victimized by these pedophiles if only the Pope would see the light and change the traditions of his church to be more in sync with the ever degenerating morays of our media driven culture.
Have you ever stopped to wonder why the argument is framed this way?
Who or what would love nothing more than to further weaken our cultures’ faith in one of it’s most stable institutions?
I’m not absolving the church of it’s culpability in these horrors. They fucked up BAD by trying to sweep it under the rug. But when you look at it with an honest eye you can begin to appreciate what the church already knew: In the right/wrong hands these scandals are a very powerful weapon. Yes, they should have had these “priests” locked up forever and they failed countless innocent children when they didn’t. But let’s not promote the fallacy that the church and it’s traditions raped those kids. Scumbag child molester fuck-heads raped those kids.
I’ll leave you with something that I think best sums it up- and you can quote me on it because when it becomes a friggen bumper-sticker I won’t be getting a dime:
Priests don’t become pedophiles, pedophiles become priests.

And for all you goobers out there that are going to shout “Bible-Thumper” I stand unrepentant for things I’ve done that would straighten out your Aunt Connies bush. So please…. be clear: Old or New Testament?
