Rising Hegemon
Which in addition to classless was rather pathetic. Realizing what they had done, they then blamed that last really, really, popular Pope, John XXIII.
I guess it's better than blaming the Jews, which has been their other tactic.
But if you're going to blame your predecessors Benny, there is precedent.

Next thing you know, they'll be blaming Jesus for just bein' too darned soft and wishy-washy and settin' a bad example....
Nah. It's all Clinton's fault.
If I didn't know better, I'd say the fact one can point to his predecessor's blind eye, too, indicates there is some congenital issue in the family.
that's my thought as well MarkC... at what point does "turning a blind eye" become sanctioning behavior / acts?...
seems that after, oh I don't know, a month or so, (given the bureaucracy of the catholic church) of knowing and doing NOTHING corrective to stop practices from continuing but doing things that will make it likely that they will continue (moving priests to unknowing parishes), that you've put your "blessed seal" on those practices.... and if your only attempt to "correct" the behavior after decades upon decades of known abuse is to pay off the victims to keep quiet, and blame everyone BUT those directly responsible for the acts, or those that knew and covered them up, then the sanctioning of the behavior is complete.
Relax, they still haven't gotten around to blaming Sansloy, Sansfoy and Sansjoy. Then it'll be Duessa. They're covering for Archimago.
"What's the matter, Formosus? Maggots got your tounge?"
Sorry.
Great Major Woody... I had to stop the seven year olds piano lesson and explain why I was laughing so hard.
i am getting family circus flashback of the dude called 'not me'.
Hey DanF,
I would have liked to hear how you explained your laughter to the 7 year old. "I was just laughing at a joke about a Pope being eaten by maggots" "Oh, OK then."
