Really, how can they continue w/ this blather about "dignity" (An odd word, that. However they define it has little to do w/ English. And, Pope Frankie's recent bullshit [The Pope has no divisions. Everything he says, ever, is bullshit.] pronouncements notwithstanding, placing this imagined dignity above the economic well-being of their flock or the dignity of babies & children as opposed to that of embryos & fetuses reveals their actual function as defenders of the status quo has not stopped‡. Rape the workers, rape their children. Be glad he has no divisions, because they'd be stealing your first born male children, for capitalism & perversion. The women are for breeding purposes & cleaning up after the holy men.) when they rape children for Jesus?The committee said it was "particularly concerned" that in dealing with allegations of child sex abuse, "the Holy See has consistently placed the preservation of the reputation of the church and the protection of the perpetrators above children's best interests, as observed by several national commissions of inquiry."
The Vatican responded testily to the findings, saying that though it would submit them "to a thorough study and examination", it regretted what it perceived to be interference in its affairs. The statement was thought to refer to the committee's remarks on contraception and abortion.
"The Holy See does … regret to see in some points of the concluding observations an attempt to interfere with Catholic church teaching on the dignity of human person and in the exercise of religious freedom," said a Vatican statement.
Makes one want to light the nearest Roman Catholic edifice afire, dunnit? (On reflection, maybe an edifice farther afield, to throw off suspicion.)

‡Take some notes, Republicans, this is the rebranding you've been looking for. Has the Pontiff pulled the wool over the fawning media's eyes or what?
