Sex And The Church: Paging Dr. Freud

Vatican Releases New Rules for Sex Abuse
No. 1: Don't get caught. No. 2: No wymyn!!
Ha, we didn't notice the Obama button on the one on the left. Is that bullshit supposed to mean something?
But the document made no mention of the need for bishops to report abuse to police and doesn't include any "one-strike and you're out" policy as demanded by some victims' groups.

The document also listed the attempted ordination of a woman as a "grave crime" to be handled by the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, just as sex abuse is. Critics have complained that including both in the same document implied equating them.
Say, need some help sorting out your feelings on boys & women, churchmen?

Is it not about time we dropped diplomatic(?) recognition of Vatican City & imprisoned all the priests, bishops, cardinals & other RCC employees as unregistered agents of a foreign government? And confiscated all Church property? C'mon, who's w/ us on this? 'Fraid of lightning bolts? Or Opus Dei?

Just venturing a guess here, but I'm going to assume this image is originally from some PUMA blog from around the time of the "Jon Favreau feels up the cardboard Hillary cutout" outrage. I'm not researching that, and I'm sad at myself for knowing that event exists.

Oh, thanks. We'd mercifully forgotten that incident.

The image has been in the devil-box for a while, &, "intellectual" property weasel that we are, we forgot the context.

"A grave crime" eh?
A be-fucking-leivable.

Gee, what happens to an employee of Burger King if they assfuck a child in the bathroom? A stern finger-pointing?

"Grave crime:" Worse than mortal sin?

As long as there's no gay marriage-ing of any lady priests in the BK stall, s'cool, man.

If they are on a break, it's a finger wag. On work time, you're outta here bud.
