Nicely -- and rightly -- expressed.

And Nathanhm: The Hofstra study found that pupils in Catholic schools were 14 times safer than those in a Protestant school. How long can you continue to blind yourself to the fact that human beings are human beings, that men are men, that homosexuals live in every segment of society: some are policemen and firemen and some enter the priesthood. As CSW put it so eloquently, the priest is not the religion. If a few employees of the EPA were found to have sexually molested children, are we then to logically conclude that the EPA fosters a culture of pedophilia? Please, friend -- stop it!

Not sure you read anything I said. So I'll rephrase - you don't get a gold star for molesting fewer kids than someone else. Also priest are the church. Just like any organization - it is represented by those who work for it. Priests are entrusted with enormous responsibility and many of them failed. And then other leaders of the church swept it under the rug for 50 years. Now you can blame this on gays instead of child molesters because it suits your agenda but it's really irrelevant. Either way the church entrusted people who had no business according to the catholic faith being priests and they committed terrible sins and felonies. The pope apologized because it was terrible and you blame the media. It makes me think you're either apologists like the leaders who moved the priests around or willfully unwilling to accept the church's responsibility in this, which undermines the purpose of religion if you refuse to condemn evil acts.

No,no,no! Now if a few employees of the EPA were found to collect their pay while in a nursing home, pretend that they were working for the CIA, or watched porno at their desks for 2-6 hours during the day, are we to logically conclude that the EPA fosters a culture of malfeasance. Well, ooops!

Thanks for the link. Before now, I didn't know Blatty's lawyer was Georgetown alum Manuel "I had to resign in disgrace as Bill Frist's counsel/policy advisor" Miranda.

This thread is still alive? I thought that sometime in the last month or so, a noble poster would have allowed it to consume his body before hurling himself down a flight of stairs, thereby saving the rest of us from it.

There's probably a rule about whether it can be locked in the Moderate Rules that our resident space cadet posted.
