Saint Rapist

The catholic church really is uniformly evil;

The Vatican instructed Catholic bishops around the world to cover up cases of sexual abuse or risk being thrown out of the Church.
The Observer has obtained a 40-year-old confidential document from the secret Vatican archive which lawyers are calling a 'blueprint for deception and concealment'. One British lawyer acting for Church child abuse victims has described it as 'explosive'.

The 69-page Latin document bearing the seal of Pope John XXIII was sent to every bishop in the world. The instructions outline a policy of 'strictest' secrecy in dealing with allegations of sexual abuse and threatens those who speak out with excommunication.

They also call for the victim to take an oath of secrecy at the time of making a complaint to Church officials. It states that the instructions are to 'be diligently stored in the secret archives of the Curia [Vatican] as strictly confidential. Nor is it to be published nor added to with any commentaries.'

It should be noted, however, than the issue really isn't limited to catholicism, but rather religion in general. There's nothing really that notable about the catholics, other they're pretty good at fooling people. But, it does take some serious cajones to threaten victims with excommunication and force them to "swear" oaths and such.

It would be nice if the entire church leadership were investigated for criminal conspiracy charges, tried and put in prison. It would be nice if they were imprisoned in a Texas state penitentiary, where they would be properly punished for their crimes.

It's pretty shocking that people still call themselves catholics, and give money to these evil fuckers... while the same fuckers confer "sainthood" on themselves. It's gotta be one of the longest running jokes in the history of mankind.
