Rising Hegemon
A senior cardinal staunchly defended Pope Benedict XVI from "petty gossip" on Sunday as the pontiff maintained his silence on mounting sex abuse cover-up accusations during his Easter message.
Yes, decades (at least) of systematic child abuse and the role the Church leadership played in enabling it -- or at the very least preventing appropriate punishment for it -- is just 'petty gossip'.
I'm admittedly not religious, but it does seem to me that "Fuck You" is not really supposed to be the meaning of Easter.

Rome is "going to the mattresses" -- hide the children and livestock.
If they were smart they'd come out with a line of new and improved indulgences for sale and at least get the story line changed.
Dear Vatican, have your people get with my people and we'll get together to run a few PR ideas up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes. Um, poor choice in advertising metaphors.
You'd think that after a thousand or two years of dealing with corruption and sex scandal that the Church would have a more polished response. Um, strike "polished" and insert "sophisticated." Um, strike "insert" and ....never mind.
livesstock would have been much better.
I guess this means they wont be carrying the little boy blow-up dolls at the vatican gift shop anymore.
I'd say that the church hierarchy takes that "Jesus died for your sins" stuff really, really seriously, and in a very temporal and anticipatory way, too....
Sort of like a religious get-out-of-jail-free card....
Nothing gives anyone on earth more right to be infallible than the Pope.
Or is it inflatable? vox
"celibacy"
Beyond fucking contempt. Even the most hardened criminals spit on child molesters. I wonder what The Church's official stance is on skull fucking? What about pre-pubescent skull fucking? My guess is that it's astride the victims's shoulders...
