Many young Church bums are breathing easier today.

Cardinal McCarrick, prominent US Catholic, resigns over abuse claims

Why isn't he in jail?

Saturday Night Live.

Unfunny, Nasty, and Vicious against Trump.

NBC has never re-aired or sold on video the Sinead O'Connor Episode where she ripped on Institutionalized Child Abuse.

Just food for thought.

How well do you think the Catholic Church has controlled sexual misbehavior of their clergy compared to all other churches?

Why does no one ever ask that question?

Catholic church has alway had a panache for attracting gays which is half the problem.

Aphroman says

Why is molestation of young boys so prevalent in the churches?

Maybe sucking young boys penises and fucking them in the ass is The Word of Christ

The Church lacks morals.

If you want to be a priest, you should be castrated. A priest does not need balls.

There is more sexual abuse in US Public Schools (total and per capita) than in the Catholic Church. If only the priests had Public Sector Union protection like our teachers do, we would barely hear about sex abuse in the churches.

"According to Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey, 275 U.S. teachers have been accused of abuse since Jan. 1. And that's only those who've been accused. By comparison, the Catholic League estimates seven credible sexual abuse cases each year for 40,000 priests."

Sexual abuse by the clergy is kept under wraps by the Church. Those numbers have no credibility. The Church prides itself in preaching morals, yet cannot impart morals to the child molesting priests and those in the Church who cover up. The hypocrisy is laughable.

All I am saying is that the Catholic Church is not unique in this sad state of affairs. We trust the government to take care of our kids in their care for at least 12 years of their lives. And there is more than enough evidence of schools covering up abuse and unions protecting predator teachers who not only don't see jail, but get to keep their pay and pensions. There are powerful unions and politicians that have every incentive to cover up teacher abuse.

The Catholic Church has faced a reckoning over this sickening abuse for nearly 2 decades and have paid out Billions in settlements. They deserve every bit of opprobrium, but I don't think the Church is unique in having some bad apples and a massive bureaucracy trying to cover it up.

Yes, I understand that. The Church should be Unique. What good is the Church if they don't practice what they preach?

If they became liberal, they wouldn't have any. Problem solved.
