You Wanna Know Who Really Shot Kennedy?
It was probably a violated altar-boy trying to exact some small slice of revenge!

Let me ask, what is a legitimate reason for a priest to be moved to a new district?  I know that every time I hear about one of these moves, it is in relation to people coming forward to explain that it involved a priest being accused of sex abuse.

A while back, I heard that not even the Vienna Boys Choir was safe from the business end of this scandal--you can pick up any newspaper anywhere, almost at any time and come across sex abuse allegations against the Catholic church.

If you are surprised, you're full of shit, an imbecile, or in denial.  Catholics that keep sending money in; you are accessories to one of the largest and most despicable crime rings ever assembled.  To a certain extent, you have the right to do what you do with your money, but that doesn't mean this disgusting global abuse shouldn't be thwarted by the real world.  Jail time, seizure of assets, and maybe some goddamn swinging ball cranes to knock some churches down to make the point that you can't do whatever you want in America.  You want to let this shit go on in Italy, knock yourself out.  But here in the US of A, we need to shut this down.



 At the very least, can we stop treating them like a tax-exempt organization?  I am okay with the fact that legitimate non-profits should be exempt from a variety of taxes.  How about this—you aren't allowed to be classified as a non-profit if... more than 10 of your leadership are accused of sexual abuse of kids over a 12 month period.  No, that would likely shut down a lot of different organizations (none come to mind but there must be others, right?)  

How about a 10 week period?  No, that probably still could screw the Boy Scouts (sticky pun intended!).

How about a 10 day period?  Perfect, that would most likely only shut down NAMBLA and the Catholic Church.  I'm guessing about NAMBLA, but the church would not last a week!

That doesn't seem fair to you and your pedophilia-neutral sensibilities?  Ok—how about this stipulation instead:  You aren't allowed to be classified a non-profit organization if...you buy more than 10,000 lbs of gold in a 12 month period.  10 week period?

...ludicrous that this goes on in 2010.  It shames me as I dream of my grandkids’ grand kids shuddering at the thought of living during the time their great-great-great-grandfather lived.  A time where this sort of thing not only went on, but ruled the day.
