Sure, maybe the Catholic Church used to have a teeny tiny little problem -- that covered the globe and cost a few billion dollars -- of covering up the epidemic of clergy raping kids all the time. But that's all behind us now. The church is officially against that; it has made statements and printed "Don't Rape Kids, M'kay?" pamphlets and everything.
Somewhere an altar boy getting buttsechsed by a sweaty old holyman is thinking, "I trust the commission advising Pope Francis will do the right thing eventually."
You have to realize this is an institution that deals in the concept of Eternity. By that standard, the engines of justice are chuggin' right along.

There was &quot;all kinds of good will&quot; in the Penn State locker room too.
Thank you, Kaili, for flogging those bishops.
The existence of &quot;organized religion&quot; is one of the few things that makes me question evolution.
Speaking of Hail Mary&quot;s, do Roger Staubach and Doug Flutie have an opinion on this?
How can you make the rules if you don&#039;t play the game?
Knock off that Latino crap. Talk &#039;Murcan.
&quot;How long does it really take a 17-person commission of clergy and lay folks ...&quot;
If history is any guide, somewhere between 100 and 300 years. The RCC doesn&#039;t just rush into these things.
