The more I learn about sex, gender, and sexual orientation the more I lose my sense of toleration for these ignorant asswipes.

But isn't the timing brilliant - just as half a dozen Irish bishops have been found to have systematically covered up hundreds of paedophile attacks on children by their priests - under instruction from Rome.

Bad publicity?  Just wheel out some old codger to distract the masses with some hoary old chestnut.  What will we get him to say? Ah yes lets have a go at homosexuals - that's sure to raise a storm, confuse the issues and distract the leader writers.

I'm sure it's just one of those coincidental coinkey-dinkey things.

Not.

In any way, the Irish government could PNG the whole sorry lot and kick their asses back to Rome and then go after the sons-of-bitches IF the political will existed ... which I'm guessing doesn't.

When all is said and no matter how one analyzes it: as long as the Irish people are willing to let the priests rape children they will continue to do so and the hierarchy will continue to cover it up.  This ain't rocket science, you know.  It's entirely predictable from past actions and the known psychology of Sexual Predators.

I think a bit of historical perspective is needed.

This is what you get for winning the battle of Clontarf.

If your ancestors had let my ancestors conquer the island you'd all be Lutherans ... and you wouldn't have this problem.  

(Either one jokes or screams in rage.)

Slight nit pick - My ancestors are German.  Personally I blame the Romans.  They got such a shock from the naked picts and Angles in England that they couldn't face coming here.  Thus we haven't a straight road in the country.

As for Clontarf - you guys were only interested in shipping off "our" booty and our women - in that order.  Get over it.
