The Catholic Church and The Vatican are a disgrace!!!!!!!  I hope the leaders die a painful death. Remember there is no hell.

This might not be popular to say...I equate them to the mafia...way too much corruption and secrecy. From The Vatican and down.

The Catholic Church has  killed many people. I admire the followers of the church because of their loyalty. I mean do you realize how hard it is to get up early for Mass, attend the Speghetti dinner, and play bingo after drinking all night!

The only thing worse than a reformed smoker is a reformed Catholic.

Has this been one big "cover-up"?  These priests should be in jail.

No, he cannot be fired.

Isn't fired an ambigous term though.  Even if some one resigns out of public criticism, aren't they technically fired?
