Olde Fashioned Cat Guilt

Can we please just think of Catholic priests as cats now? Would that make everything better? I was raised super Catholic, so I feel like I am qualified to say it would be much better. View

Richard Dawkins Plotting Pope Arrest

Richard Dawkins, the atheist campaigner, is planning a legal ambush to have the Pope arrested during his state visit to Britain “for crimes against humanity”. Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, the atheist author, have asked human rights lawyers to produce a case for charging Pope Benedict XVI over his alleged cover-up of sexual abuse in the Catholic church. The pair believe they can exploit the same legal principle used to arrest Augusto Pinochet, the late Chilean dictator, when he visited Britain in 1998. The Pope was embroiled in new controversy this weekend over a letter he signed arguing that the “good of the universal church” should be considered against the defrocking of an American priest who committed sex offences against two boys. It was dated 1985, when he was in charge of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which deals with sex abuse cases. Benedict will be in Britain between September 16 and 19, visiting London, Glasgow and Coventry, where he will beatify Cardinal John Henry Newman, the 19th-century theologian. Dawkins and Hitchens believe the Pope would be unable to claim diplomatic immunity from arrest because, although his tour is categorised as a state visit, he is not the head of a state recognised by the United Nations. They have commissioned the barrister Geoffrey Robertson and Mark Stephens, a solicitor, to present a justification for legal action. The lawyers believe they can ask the Crown Prosecution Service to initiate criminal proceedings against the Pope, launch their own civil action against him or refer his case to the International Criminal Court. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/faith/article7094310.ece?TheGodDelusion added by: TravG73

Roseanne Barr Slams Catholic Church for Rape and Molestation

As a washed-up comedian, Roseanne Barr makes news these days for tearing apart other celebrities and making controversial comments. Two recent cases in point? She slammed Brangelina for helping to “wreck the earth,” and she blamed Marie Osmond for the tragic suicide of her son. Real classy. Now, the former sitcom star has taken on a much more popular opponent: the Catholic Church. As that institution faces criticism in light of new molestation charges against multiple priests (crimes possibly covered up by the Pope many years ago), Barr has taken to her blog. You must read what she wrote : the pedo priests are trying to cover up the number of LITTLE GIRLS they have molested too, as if that doesn’t matter as much as what happens to boys. Trust me, the number of girls raped and molested by priests is at least double the boys. They are trying to cover it all up so that they can end up purging gay priests, and laying the blame on them. The fact is pedos like to rape both boys and girls, and only a small number of pedos are exclusively into male children. I am starting to think that any parent who takes their kids to catholic churches from now on should lose custody. Taking your kid where you know sex offenders hang out is inexcusable!!! There are clearly issues facing the Catholic Church these days, but referring to it as a “place where sex offenders hang out,” as if one’s child will walk in and get raped? Seems a bit of a generalzation from Roseanne, no? What do you think of her comments?
