If you want to be pissed off, just read the following article from today's Omaha newspaper:
YES THAT SHOULD DO IT. A DAY OF FASTING WHERE THE PRIESTS CAN EAT A MEAL AND TWO SNACKS. THAT SHOULD MAKE ALL THOSE ABUSE VICTIMS FEEL SO GOOD
Lincoln diocese declares fasting day after sex abuse report
LINCOLN — The Catholic Diocese in Lincoln has declared a day of fasting for its priests in response to a report that identified hundreds of cases of church sex abuse in Nebraska going back decades.
A message sent to Lincoln-area parishioners said Bishop James Conley proclaimed Friday as a day of fasting and abstinence “in reparation for offenses” highlighted in the report by the Nebraska Attorney General's Office.
The message said priests were also to offer “three Masses for the healing of victims." It said fasting allows for one meal and two smaller snacks, and abstention from all meat.
Attorney General Doug Peterson released the report last week, expressing frustration that no accused offenders in the church would face charges because the statute of limitations has passed in the vast majority of cases. In some cases, accused priests have died or their whereabouts are unknown, and in one case, an accuser declined to participate in a prosecution.

A day of fasting? Let's make it a month!
Let’s just make it two bullets on the head .
I want to see them suffer, like their victims have suffered.
@Pralina1 Still prefer the Arsenic idea.
Think of it as due desserts for the harm, damage, etc, etc, that they inflected upon their victims.
Unlike many other poisons, Arsenic works its way along through the system bit by bit as it slowly sets about destroying everything.
It causes unrelenting stomach pains, cramps, bouts of uncontrollable nausea and vomiting, hallucinations, depresses the libido completely, hair loss, loss of taste, smell, loss of balance, severe bleeding around the gums, the teeth begin to rot, the lining of the digestive tract from mouth to anus begins to peel away leaving raw, tender and sensitive nerve endings exposed, jaundice and very often, though only in males, the testes can begin to shrivel, turn gangrenous and then that spreads out through the body as well.
And, with Arsenic being classified Internationally as a Hazardous Material, regulation state that anything contaminated with Arsenic MUST be INCINERATED at a recognised Toxic Waste Incineration Facility, hence they would be DENIED a Christian Burial by International Law.
So the fat, bloated, over-fed and over-indulged Catholic Kiddie Fiddlers are going to Pray and Fast for the ones they may have victimised over last decades and more.
And, IF your a Catholic Kiddie Fiddler then FASTING means you can have one, probably MASSIVE Nosh-up followed by 2 smaller snacks BUT no meat, yeah right.
We know how well those scamming Scum can twist and turn things around to suit themselves, for example, when I was studying for my Doctorate in Theology the definition of FASTING was to go from Sunrise to Sunset eating absolutely NOTHING and drinking ONLY 100mls of water every 3 hours.
PLUS, by Catholic Law and Canon MEAT is defined as being "ANYTHING that comes from bearing fur or wool and its flesh is red or pink when uncooked," ergo Chicken, Fish, Fowls such as Duck, Goose, etc, etc, are NOT considered to MEAT so these Fat, Bloated , Indolent, over-fed and over-indulged Molesters of the Innocent and Predators of Weak and Feeble minded will more than like be FEASTING upon everything and anything EXCEPT RED MEAT.
You mean healing for the offenders. The statue of limitations may have passed but the offenders are still there and they will not be forgotten by the laity. Also, the statue has passed for civil offenses but people should be watching to see how the hierarchy handles this. And they wonder why the 'nones' are increasing and the church membership is falling.
