Meet The Press: Catholic sex abuse

On Meet The Press today, a discussion of the Catholic church and the recent sex abuse.



Those on the panel are horrified and don't know what can be done to make the changes necessary in the church to stop the abuse, but I have a few suggestions, suggestions that will never be followed, of course: Allow women to be priests, allow priests to have normal and public romantic lives, put term limits on bishops, cardinals, and the pope, allow lay people to have a vote on what happens in the church, and finally, stop effing lying!!!

People will say the Pope can't make these changes. That is bullshit. He just changed a centuries-old Catholic teaching on the death penalty without consulting anyone else and, as far as I can tell, for no other real reason than to distract us from the abuse scandal.

Civil authorities will have to legally and publicly hold the church accountable, because church leaders will not do it and most Catholics really don't care.
