Watch the Catholic bashing, punk.

Of 46,000 American priests, over a 30-year period, less than 1/10 of 1 percent were accused of inappropriate sexual acts with underage people of either sex. Note "accused" (yes, in the firestorm of "bad priests" we have been forced to endure in the last decade, the stories about false accusers who not only recanted their made-up accusations against priests but were convicted for their lies have been lost).

The MSM has convinced many Americans (you among them obviously) that virtually every priest is a molester--past, present or incipient. They have done this to undermine the Catholic Church, of course. Too bad you aren't smart enough to see through it. Say a few rosaries ... and STFU.

lol Woah slow down cowboy. It was a joke but it is true that many of the molesters were being covered for by branches of the church as are many homosexuals. That wasn't a major problem but it was a problem all the same. Pope Benedictine is making many good changes and I am impressed with his outspokeness and his edicts. I will admit that my first exposure to a Catholic Priest was one who used to share illegal drugs with a buddy of mine but I never would generalize that to all Catholic leadership. The MSM doesn't convince me of anything and taking a joke as indicating something of value about what someone believes is reading more into something than is really there.
