Regarding the (awful) Catholic church scandal in PA:
I don't know much about the Catholic Church, but is there a possibility some of them will eventually openly discuss that an easing up of the celibacy requirements will not help the victims of the past but may help reduce or eliminate future victimization?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I recall growing up in Lyncourt, NY which is little Italy. The young men who never had a girlfriend were always asked by their parents about it. It was an expected event. But if young Johnny said he was going to be a priest then all was well. This is where gay men went to hide their sexuality with complete acceptance. It is a complete joke that religion has all this shit happening. Religion is just shit in the very first place

Hard for me to discuss since I am from the area mentioned and attended one of the high schools where assaults took place. The priest committed suicide years ago. The male victim frequently being interviewed (Good Morning America, I think) would have been in my graduating class had I not changed schools.
My nephew's middle school principal (priest) was also named.
In Pittsburgh alone there are 99 priests who harmed children. You are screaming for the resignation of Bishop Wuerl who hid these monsters.

I was brought up very Catholic in the Detroit area. I went to Catholic school for 12 years. I never had one incident happen to me, nor saw anything untoward. The pope needs to get involved with the clergy who covered all this up. There are still some of them around. No excuses.

He refused claiming he did no wrong.
Please, if you come across an online petition asking for his resignation consider signing. I am not sure it will bring him to resign but we must try everything.

Posted by Ray13I just joined this group, thought it would be best one to post something like this: Thought this might interest some of my fellow agnostics - I just donated my 160th pint (total 20 gallons) of blood...

Posted by Reason-AbleI’m 54 and bored. I needed a project and decided to buy a truck and make it my project. I’ve been adding little mods to it every weekend. Any other vehicle enthusiasts in the group?

Posted by flower_nutMy mother's best friend worked for the local newspaper and decided to dress me as a leprechaun and use it for Saint Patrick's Day. I was a smiling leprechaun, whatever that was?
