    Like any priest was going to turn in a member of his congregation for child abuse in the first place. They’d probably recite “the lord forgives” or “turn the other cheek” and let it go on.

    Well well, what a surprise… Just when you thought the Catholic church might be turning into a halfway decent organization with some principles, they go right back to their old ways.

      In other news: water found to get things wet, bear shits in woods, and a United States President is a criminal.

          I think this might be a whoosh for you. News casters on television would, before an ad, sometimes give you a preview of what stories they would do and what time they would start talking about them. I juxtaposed a series of unsurprising statements as a response to another unsurprising piece of info: the Catholic church is, in fact, not changing. The items I cited were mundane and unsurprising items, not universal truths.

        Did you read the article?

        The church warned priests that they’d be punished if they denouce pedophiles to the police.

        Who threatens anybody for denouncing pedos to the police? Other pedos, and pedo-friendly organizations, that’s who. And the Vatican is known for having been a safe haven for pedos for decades, if not centuries.

        So yeah, the Catholic church would love to make you think they’re not pedo enablers no more. But you can’t make a racehorse with a donkey. They just can’t help themselves.
