Why does a state inquiry like the Ryan inquiry seem like a "remote prospect"? I don't get that.

There are days when I wonder if the whole issue isn't overblown to serve as a smokescreen for something much, much worse.

“In the 1970s, paedophilia was theorised as something fully in conformity with man and even with children,” the Pope said.

Ah, yes. I see. Quotemine Central.

Onya, wingnut.


Not that the Pope's actual intent was much better. He basically added another item to the list in defence of the paedophiles among his clergy: They only did what four intellectuals of the 1970s allegedly said to be OK.

Looks like more Seth trolling to me; the linked article in the Belfast Times says exactly what's quoted in the article in question. What Herr Ratzinger said is exactly as execrable as everyone says. I had no idea he'd said it and I think it's despicable, and ignores a bunch of little kids who got raped on his fucking watch.

Seth apparently thinks little kids should watch out for themselves with priests. :dunno:
