There is nothing more disgusting, repulsive, and unforgivable than to have a child molester roam free on the block. So to sit and watch the way the Catholic Church has been treated with, dare we say, kid gloves, is outrageous.No offense to the religion or their parishioners, but if a neighbor has a pit bull and it bites kids, you take care of that problem. Likewise if many pit bulls in the neighborhood start biting kids, guess what - no more fucking pit bulls in the town.
The fact that countless number of lives have been ruined by over 4,392 sex-deprived US priests who don't bite the kids - they rape them - and are then ushered around to new, unsuspecting communities, once the word gets out, is one of the easiest-preventable tragedies in this country.
Screw these hundred million dollar payouts, derived from monies gained from selling primo real estate: Either ban the fucking Catholic Church due to the fact that they're proven criminal rapists, or ban the un-biblical Catholic practice that priests cannot marry.
The only Jews who made it out of Egypt and into the Promise Land were the sons of Levi, the priests, and they had wives. Until the Catholic priests can prove that they can be celibate and not fuck little kids, then they shouldn't be allowed to practice here - or they should be forced to change what's broken.
Bill Maher submitted a short column about this topic this afternoon on the HuffPo, an exceprt:
In this great and diverse country, one is always proud to see their own city on the front page of the national newspapers, so you can imagine my pride yesterday when Los Angeles turned out to be the place where the Catholic Church has had to pay the largest fine ever for diddling kids, $660 million.
(Full disclosure: I was raised Catholic and I was sometimes alone with priests, although none ever tried anything. Which is a little insulting.)
Cardinal Mahoney announced that to help pay for the deal, the church would sell a building it owns on Wilshire and about 50 other properties they weren't using, which reminded me, oh yeah, the Catholic Church owns more property out here than Bob Hope did -- and why?
Oh, yeah, because it's a business -- and not just a business, really, the greatest business in the world, in that, like all religions, it's selling an invisible product.
It doesn't really get easier than that, unless you count Edgar Bergen, a ventriloquist on the RADIO.
And the fact that the Cardinal is still allowed to represent LA after being in and around the system that created guys like Oliver O'Grady, is also a slap in the face of all the victims.
Plus that Cathedral is butt ugly.
Best thing about Catholics are their churches, and LA's could be the fugliest any city has ever had.
The symbolisms of that incredibly closed, dark, jail-like cathedral, built in a soulless part of town, closer to the City Jail than any beautiful, life-giving park, fits that house of horrors perfectly.
The fact that the sitting Pope was a former Hitler Youth who watched as the former Pope allowed scumbags like Boston's Cardinal Law escape to Italy instead of face charges in the States is disgusting.
Throwing money at heinous crimes should never be the only form of repentance.
If you don't throw kid-fuckers out of your town then, hate to say it, you're part of the problem.
