I have heard that Los Angles will do with a Grand Jury what Philadelphia has already accomplished - use Church's own records to demonstrate widespread pedophilia in the Church, and Church management that conspired to hide and suppress it. The victims be damned. The problem be ignored. Morality defined by the powers that be because society cannot be trusted to make such decisions. That is akin to communism in its worst form.
Begs the question - what is the purpose of the Church? To provide a service to its parishioners? Or to enrich and protect itself? Ironically god becomes an excuse to justify the coverup rather than a reason to condemn it. Same twisted logic that also blames pedophilia on homosexuality. But then this is what happens when organized religion decides to impose its standards - by people who don't live in the real world - to save us all from ourselves - rather than just serve its parishioners. |

Spanking is like duct tape though. It has a proper application, but most of the time it's just an ugly all-purpose quick-fix, used until a real solution can be managed. Take good care of your stuff in the first place and you won't need so much duct tape. ![]()

If you weren't outside of Chi-town, I'd think that you must go to the same doc that my other boss does (I have a boss and an other boss).
She had a ganglion cyst on her wrist. The treatment was to be whacked very, very hard with a large book ... He used the PDR because it was handy.

That's what they told me to do with my ganglion too, but they said don't do it yourself because you might break your wrist. I chose instead to just try to relax my hand more when playing the viola, and it went away on its own.

I'm with Bullitt here -- an organization that requires celibacy seems to attract people who are trying to run from their sexuality. There's no surprise at all to the objective observer when these people discover the hard way that there simply is no running from your sexuality -- even castration is only a palliative, and understandably viewed as a cure that is no improvement over the problem. By everyone from Pope Benedict down.
