And the hits keep coming...

Another day another scandal.

Britain’s most senior Roman Catholic cleric has resigned amid allegations of inappropriate behavior made by priests.

The Vatican said Monday that Pope Benedict XVI had formally accepted the resignation of Cardinal Keith O’Brien, archbishop of St. Andrews and Edinburgh. The Observer newspaper reported Sunday that the Vatican had been notified of allegations of inappropriate behavior stretching back 30 years.
And of course, you will be shocked that this guy has been a prominent basher of gays for years.

Self-loathe much?

Archbishop of St. Andrews and Edinburgh? I guess we now know what he had going on under his priestly kilt.

When I read that old boy had said priests ought to be allowed to marry, I knew right then his goose was cooked. IMO he'd have survived the gay sex complaints, but the Vatican will NOT tolerate this kind of heresy.

dude who may have lived or not but reportedly lived with a bunch of guys, never had sex, was apparently pretty darned kind and gentle for the most part but requested to be eaten and have his blood drunk symbolically, was hung on a cross by authorities for subversion but no record was made of either the arrest or the crucifixion (musta been too busy counting nails and grains of wheat, all hung up on documenting everything else) then came back as a zombie and wrote stuff on a wall with his own blood and said "follow me" kinda stuff...

then after hundreds of years, an organization is built to collect money and power by the "divine" right of said dude and claim he is the eternal sky buddy himself... and begin to attempt to slowly and inexorably take over the world... for thousands of years...

gee what could possibly go wrong?

Matthew 18:6

"If anyone should cause one of these little ones to lose his faith in me, it would be better for that person to have a large millstone tied around his neck and be drowned in the deep sea."

These priests and their accessories know what they have to look forward to...either that, or as Bartcop says, they're all actually atheists cashing in on the gravy train.

I like Catholics. I detest their Church.
