I was told a long time ago to not discuss politics or religion at the dinner table and since we aren’t serving Turkey and Roasted Potatoes I figure they are both fair game

Now you know how we at TOR feels about Health-Care, dispensation, the downfall of the Senate but today we are going to be frying a bigger fish.

The Catholic Church has been in the news a whole lot over the past few days with the revelations that Pope Benedict, then Cardinal Ratzinger didn’t just look the other way when a bunch of priests were diddling little boys but may actually have been complicit in moving said priests to other dioceses to try to protect the church. As the calls for Benedicts resignation have only gotten louder Benedict gave a deviant Palm Sunday sermon and TOR watching from afar were wondering what the hell is going on with the Catholic Church. Somewhere there is a pretty big disconnect; the Church comes out to rally to protect an unborn fetus but nobody protects a bunch of deaf boys in Wisconsin. How about they keep their dirty paws away on the US HealthCare reform and focus that energy on keeping their dirt-bag clergy from putting their dirty paws off of preteens.
I got a novel idea, how about you stop this nonsense about abstinence for your rank-and-file with hot coeds and give a crash course to your higher-ups about abstinence with altar boys.

The issue isn’t that these aren’t isolated cases, there are 1000’s of cases of priests playing peek-a-boo with little boys and I’m disgusted that it takes a NY Post type investigation for people to get up in arms. It’s about time the Catholic Church did the right thing and threw these psychopaths out on their asses and stop worrying about what the Church is supposed to look like because it’s rotten to the core. What annoys me is that people always will try to spin this and make it about homosexuality which it is not, this is about a bunch of perverts hiding behind the cloth.  Homosexuality has nothing to do with touching prepubescent teens and then covering it up.

The liberal wing of the Church is asking again if celibacy is really the best option for these guys and I have to think that celibacy is probably not a good option for anybody especially guys who are in positions of power. Yeah you got a bunch of nice buildings and a couple of holidays which most people use to get presents but you have lost your moral high-ground when you decided to look the other way.  When your entire institution is a farce because you claim you are about protecting the sick and the poor but instead only care about protecting yourself it's time to hang it up because it;s only a matter of time before the dam explodes and you know there are 1000’s of others out there who this has happened to.

The crazies thing was that I read a piece on CNN that Mehmet Ali Agca the Turkish gunman who shot Pope John Paul II is coming out demanding he should resign. I think I’ve figured out how best to handle this situation. Why not dress Ali Agca like Angus Young and then lock him in a room with a bunch of these perverts..
