Pennsylvania: 300 priests raping 1,000 children by Catholic priests in a single state, with a massive, coordinated institutional cover-up, and it is called “child sexual abuse.” It is rape.

And now New York and several other states are opening up similar investigations. We have not even begun to see the tip of the iceberg.

Can you imagine what people would be calling for if they found 300 Imams of a Muslim sect (in just one state) had raped 1,000 children via a Muslim mosque in a single state?

Total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the country!

How about a total and complete shutdown of the Catholic child sex trafficking crime ring.

Turns out the real child sex trafficking crime ring wasn’t Hillary in a D.C. pizzeria.

At what point does the Catholic church become a crime organization and fall under the RICO Act?

….and this is the same thing found in every authoritarian organisation which comes into contact with the defenceless…. IF an organisation is perceived to be trustworthy, people will gravitate towards it who will take advantage of the trust the organisation has amassed. Once they’re in they hide in the nooks and crannies, and they can fester there until the organisation either comes the the realisation that it has a problem, or is forced to be aware through outside criticism.

Just sent one to prison for Breaking Bad. Yep, he made meth. Love religious people, they are so much more moral than us atheists.

An excellent cartoon.

I guess they figure if they follow the first two commandments and go to church every Sunday, the other eight are optional.

Yes and almost all Catholics I know – quite a few actually – voted for Trump. To quote Artie Johnson (Laugh In) – very interesting.

What a stunning – and disturbing – image. Not what I normally think of when someone describes a cardinal feeding its chicks.

These guys must believe every word they preach.

This is how you act when you have a superior, informed morality and a belief in an infallible system of post-mortem rewards and punishments: You fill your pockets with gold, and you use your position to commit horrible deeds against the most powerless who are entrusted to your care.

Funny how people are dropping away from churches.

Just heard about st Joseph orphanage in Burlington, Vermont. Founded in 1854, closed in 1974. Multiple abuse cases, even alleged murder. Cold cases from 1940s to 1960s. Bizarre.

Fat Vulcan always has only the one comment. He never refutes the comic or comments. Are we s’posed to sympathize with him for having too many kids?

The Crusades, The Inquisition and now this. At least the Catholic Church seems to have given up on murder.

Shouldn’t that cross be a crucifix?

Oh Nick, this is just too heartbreakingly accurate; not sure whether to thank you for the rendering or cry.

I did not vote for donnie bonespurs …..and the majority of catholics i know did not either, nor my mom and dad….but having said that i have aunts, uncles and brothers that did….they are one like the other catholics who are only one issue voters….abortion…..i try to explain to them the hateful policies the republicans do and enact and use the “abortion” issue to garner votes from people who refuse to see(or learn) the big picture…it is like talking to a rock…a really dense basalt …anyway….i am disgusted with the fool bishops’ who made this horror possible….the pedophile priests and the bishops that protected them must be thrown in prison for life….God will forgive but they must make Penance for the rest of their time on this earth…Faith is never about the men but about the love of our Lord….and His Justice…. these horrible creatures are the evil….not the faith…..anyway that is my two cents….agnostics and atheists who might want to reply….go ahead, you have your faith and i have mine….it make no never mind to me….peace…
