It's hilarious Wibble Send a noteboard - 14/03/2010 01:41:02 PM
I mean, seriously, if it weren't so obviously BS there'd probably be grounds for libel. And, for the record, I'm not Catholic, and actually have some significant issues with the Vatican (for one thing, I think requiring celibacy in priests has a lot to do with how many people entering the priesthood turn out to be sexual deviants... ) but that was offensive on several levels. Saying all Catholics, or Catholic priests, are pedophiles is like saying all Muslims, or all imams, are terrorists. It's not funny, it's insulting.

More on other topics later, but this one drew the attention of my inner self righteous SOB.


And it's also fundamentally true. Need we once again trawl through the various worldwide incidents we know of? The practice of rape may not be totally endemic throughout the church, but the hiding and covering up most certainly is, possibly on the basis of this week to the very top itself. Though obviously the Popes people are doing everything they can to make that go away.

The best humour often is offensive, it is often used to hit hard on topics people shy away from, and the best humour is always at some level based on a truth...you may stretch it, but it is there.
