Wow. Pope Benedict's personal preacher Raniero Cantalamessa created a firestorm by comparing the scrutiny and pressure the Catholic Church has been experiencing lately in their molestation scandals to the "more shameful aspects of anti-Semitism."
This just further illustrates why the Roman Catholic Church will never take real steps to stop abuse. They aren't concerned with the children that are getting raped, they're only concerned with their own reputation. They see themselves as being wrongfully attacked, and never does it enter their minds that their actions (and lack thereof) contributed to what they are enduring now.
I hope the pressure never lets up but sooner or later the mainstream media will give up on it, only to flare up again down the road after more children have been raped, and the cycle will repeat again.
Pope Benedict, the only way this is going to end is if you take real steps towards stopping abuse. First of all stop protecting priests who molest children and treat it like the horrific sin (and crime) that it is. Throw them out of the Church and/or turn them in to law enforcement.
To help prevent this from happening as much you're going to have to allow priests to marry. Stop making excuses, stop covering up, and make a real effort to end this abuse.

Re: You don't care about the fact that Raniero Cantalamessa is trivializing the Holocaust
Date: 4/4/10 22:51 (UTC)And you ignore the context.
I don't change to conform to your subjective standards for the same reason that humans don't conform to meet the subjective standards of chimps or crustaceans.
And you bitch at me for involving them...to your face...then sneak off to complain to them behind my back. Protip: At least when I call a mod, I don't call one that's on my f-list.
Riiiight. Because a black comedian who subtly satirizes the gullible fishbellies of his day is racist imagery. /sarcasm
True. Instead of asking anything, you issue ultimatums and cowardly cry to mods behind my back after chiding me for doing so openly.
And your understanding isn't required either. Merely not bringing down the forum with your subjective standards and witch hunt mentality.
And I'm also free to do openly what you've been doing in the shadows, i.e. contacting the mods. Don't like me contacting them? Fine. Make up your mind whether or not you want e-jihad or whether you want the mods. Constantly moving the goal post is another bitch move.
Anyway, talking aBOUT me involves me in the conversation. What do you want me to do next time you do that? Mods or e-jihad, bitch boy? Choose one or the other. I'm going to stand in the way of you choosing both lol.
Yeah, right. Times cheesy has "left" the conversation only to involve me in it anyway: 2
