This isn't a protest put on by SNAP but they were handing out fliers at a SNAP gathering last night.

ReplyDeleteThe Sixties made me do it
ReplyDeleteby Jim Hightower
I try to avoid religious commentary, but “Good God!” what is it about confession that the Catholic hierarchy can't seem to grasp?
The grotesque epidemic of priestly pedophilia that has roiled the church has been under assessment in a five year, $2 million study commissioned by our country's Catholic bishops. At long last, the report is out — but not the truth. Instead, the panel concludes that this horror is not the fault of the church or even of the abusive priests. Rather — cue the heavenly music — the sixties made them do it.
Yes, it's the Woodstock defense! The diabolical theory of this study is that "social chaos" created by the tie-dyed sexual revolution of the 1960s so discombobulated otherwise chaste and honorable men that they used their religious authority to rape 10-year-olds and teenagers.
Dios mios, have mercy. That conclusion is as perverted as what the priests did and as inexcusable as the hierarchy's ongoing denials and cover-ups. Start with the obvious: Rape is not about sex, it's a gross abuse of power. Second, I was around in the 1960s, and while I couldn't seem to attract much free love for myself, I can testify that the sexual revolution of the time most definitely did not even contemplate ╤ much less advocate ╤ old men in dark robes molesting children who'd been placed in their care.
The church's report is as silly as the right wing's current fiction that all would be well in America if only the sixties had never happened. Excuse me, but enormous progress was made in those years by women, civil rights champions, environmental advocates ÷ and, yes, by American culture itself. The Pope should shelve the nonsense in this report and lead the world in a new liturgical chant: Pedophilia is not a social habit that one adopts; it's a sickness. Deal with it. Honestly.

There will be more police present at 12th and Broadway tomorrow from 930-1015 AM than there will for the entire Plaza area tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteresignation? really WTF - PRISON he resigned his ass to get it up the ass!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck Mr cloth!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's what Bishop Finn really wants: some big prison dick up his ass. He could really get into it after a while. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteDude you must be board and have no life or you must be on crack and cant chill out!!! Either way you are a dumb-ass!
ReplyDeleteBishop Finn should go to JAIL for reckless child endangerment.
ReplyDeleteImagine if this happened at a Chucky Cheese Restaurant. An employee had child porn pictures that he took of children inside Chucky Cheese. Management knew about it, but hid the pictures and allowed the employee further access to small children.
Customers would boycott Chucky Cheese and have every manager thrown in jail, all the way up to the CEO.
We can't expect the Catholic church to rise to the standards of Chucky Cheese, but they should at least have to follow the basic laws of humanity and the laws of the land.
