This has been a pretty bad week for the Roman Catholic Church as two more priests charged with sex abuse crimes and child rape were convicted.
We Catholics are used to the drill by now. They walk in with their hands at their sides and they walk out in handcuffs.
We’re used to the muffled weeping of the people in the cheap seats. We’re used to the victim’s gut-wrenching sobs on the stand. The priestly “perp walk” is just another day at the office.
Trying to put the pieces together of the worst scandal in the history of the modern church I wondered how this happened. How did these children keep quiet about something so awful for so long?

"And one of the most heinous criminal masterminds America has ever produced sits unpunished in a palatial mansion in Rome; waited on hand and foot by a staff of servants; drawing a generous stipend from the Vatican; being chauffeured around the Roman cocktail party circuit in a limo.
He is a sociopath of the highest order; the king of compartmentalization. For this he was rewarded with one of the most prestigious assignments in the Roman Catholic Church and handed over one of our most sacred Basilicas, St. Mary Major. The irony of this dreadful, fallen man occupying this post is dwarfed only by its repugnance. That he accepted this post so readily and shamelessly proves he is an unrepentant phony.
He is a man who should be doing time with the priests he hid out in his dirty little attic. His name is Cardinal Bernard Law."
Don't hold back!

According to the report, priests were not included in the state's child abuse reporting law until 2002!
It wasn't a great week for the public schools, either.
Alaska has had its share of RCC scandal in the past few weeks. It seems that some of their baby rapers thought the villages were perfect pickings to perpetrate their vile evil on Alaska native boys (and a few girls). The havoc they have wreaked here is enormous and the impact will be felt for generations. The most disgusting part is that the bishops would just move these scumbags from village to village after complaints started coming in. My hope is that the church up here is destroyed financially and forced to leave. We have no use for baby rapers up here.
