    Hasn't this been the case since the advent of catholicism?

    the money part maybe, but I'm pretty sure places of worship being exempt from most tax laws is a recent thing (like since the 50s)

    What's the difference between Jesus & a Vampire? Nothing, they both don't exist.

    We should start a new religion. The BG religion. Tax breaks galore.

    Seriously though, it's pretty awesome how accusations of not taking responsibility get dozens of pages, starting to take responsibility gets nothing but random jokes.

    Too little too late for me. They still aren't actually DOING anything, just more fucking talk. All this is so far is another PR move (at least it is in the right direction I guess, these guys were fucking idiots before).

    Maybe when they actually start, you know like, taking action against their priests that are raping and molesting little boys we can start being "happy." Talk is cheap so far.

    Even saying that establishes way more credibility than the people that rant endlessly about how horrible are and disappear when they actually respond in a remotely meaningful manner.

    Personally, I can't wait for first contact. When we met aliens or another intelligent species, it will render religion worthless once and for all. The universe is just too freaking big for us to be the only ones around. Given that the aliens aren't hostile, they would probably ridicule us "You guys believe in wut? lulz"

    The Vatican was right, most of the people screaming the loudest about the pedophile scandals are simply just using it as another jab against Christianity as a whole.

    That very well could be true, but does it make any difference? I sure don't see it as an excuse to continue sweeping this under the rug.

    What could they do really aside from condemn the individuals? Setup cameras in every church, put tracking devices in every priest? Seriously, this has nothing to do with the religion and it's teachings, which is why it's retarded that the media ties Christianity/The Vatican with these cases of pedophilia.

    Just to give you an example, there are a bunch of rabbis around the world who are involved in pedophilia as well - I remember back when I was in NY, every year there was another rabbi who was charged with rape, pedophilia, child abuse, etc. Do these people get as much exposure as priests in the media? Do these get tied to Judaism, or Israel for that matter? What the fuck do people expect? The only thing people can do is to condemn.

    rabbi's are part of a large network with the head rabbi of the world moving them from place to place when someone complains about them raping a child? I guess is it the same!
