Well, if we're going to rip apart the Catholics and the Pope, how about a little equal time for that nut Louis Farrakhan and his "Nation of Islam" folks? Or how about the "kill the infidels" phrases that seem to be appearing in other "holy" texts these days...
It's always the Catholics you guys want to pick on. Yes, the scandalous priests, every one of them, should be defrocked and then prosecuted to the full extent of the law. They should never have been priests, and there is no higher offense than to do evil in God's name. I wouldn't give a nickel for their souls, because if you believe in an afterlife, they're going to have a big problem. And I agree that the Catholic "tradition" of having unmarried priests is an anachronism that should have been ended years ago.
But such educated statements like "All Catholics are idiots" just speak to the ignorance of some commenters here. If this was a thread bashing Jews, muslims, or non-Catholic Christians, the reaction would be much different I am sure.
