Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley of Boston, saying the Democratic Party has been persistently hostile to opponents of abortion rights, asserted yesterday that the support of many Catholics for Democratic candidates "borders on scandal."-- Boston Globe
I'm sorry. A national church that, in essence, elevated pedophilia to an art form has no foundation from which to broadcast any sort of moral outrage. The American Catholic Church colluded with the pedophiles within its midst and did nothing about it until it was forced to by the victims who sued and by the belated reaction of law enforcement.
The Boston Archdiocese paid over $21 million to settle claims before the most recent scandal broke. Then they had to pay another $85 million and that was after they sought to drag all of the plaintiffs through the mud.
But the Boston Archdiocese was a bunch of pikers compared to the Los Angeles Archdiocese, which agreed to pay over $600 million.
From one end of the country to the other, the dioceses have transferred or sheltered or covered up child abuse by priests. If it wasn't for the sheer weight of the evidence and the persistence of the victims, they'd still be covering it up and transferring their child-raping perverts around the country.
And these clowns feel they have a moral basis on which to preach about anything?
Give me a fucking break.
