The birds are cool, though. And they hang around in the winter. [MENTION=3325]Mole[/MENTION] wouldn't know because he doesn't have them in Straya. Although he does have wild budgies, which I suppose makes up for it.
Didn't Stanley Milgram already answer that one?Perhaps it is now time to ask practising Catholics, why they remained so silent in the face of such criminal evil.
How could they overlook the suffering of children?Didn't Stanley Milgram already answer that one?
Instead of saving souls, they were murdering the souls of children.
The recently concluded Vatican summit on sexual abuse in the church was framed in the same old top-down way that's at the heart of the problem. Lay people, both women and men, experts in the law, psychology, and theology were excluded. What could be more wrong with this picture?
Rome Has Spoken and Rome Is Finished: The Vatican's Sexual Abuse Summit 'Failed Miserably' - Rewire.News - Religion Dispatches
It's not just the Catholic Church. There was a recent expose on Southern Baptists pulling the same crap of transferring / not monitoring leaders accused of sexual abuse/assault and just having them slide around.
Yep. But I don't think these are isolated - I think there is abuse present in nearly all religions as, the basis of religion is to obey...something. And there are parents so brainwashed that they actively allow abuse or place their religion above the wellbeing of their children.
A fish rots from the head down and now we see the rotting head of Roman Catholicism in Australia, Cardinal Pell, rotting in jail.
The rest of the Roman Catholic fish is rotting as well - sweet altar boys are now forbidden from serving on the altar with priests.

“Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.†Rev 18
For decade, after decade, after decade, the Church has told us child sexual abuse is a sin rather than a crime. The Church has told us child sexual abuse is a religious matter rather than a criminal matter, and the important thing was to preserve the reputation of the Church.
But after 70 years struggle we have the head of the Church in Australia, who is also Treasurer to the Vatican, and number three in the Vatican hierarchy, convicted of child sexual abuse, a crime not only against the State of Australia, but a crime against children.
"It will be well for the reader to understand that the church of Rome with its sixteen centuries of intrigue, plans fifty or a hundred years ahead. The ultimate goal is to throw the lever of time back by restoring the Pope as the "universal arbiter" from whom all the rulers of the earth must receive their authority to rule, as during the Dark Ages."~ The Supressed Truth About the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln
