So much for papal infallibility
If you need any more reason to be pissed at the Roman Catholic church, here's another one. The revelations of the abuse of kids by priests in Europe continue. Now, it appears the once future pope, Archbishop Ratty, in 1980, assisted in quietly moving a pedophile within the church's ranks, away for a little bit of treatment to cure his sexual obsession with boys. The treatment didn't work.
(Dogma! Huh-yeah! What is it good for? ...) Now I know papal infallibility is just some bullshit the catholic church made up to make their sheep bleat in unison -- and I'm also very much aware that it doesn't mean that the pope can't make mistakes or (gasp!) commit a sin ... however ... let's think critically about this for a moment (if you're religious, don't try this, you'll find yourself incapable of doing this). If there is a god, and said god tolerates pedophiles in his ranks -- and further, lets his future right hand man assist in hiding the abuse -- what kind of god does that make?
God may work in mysterious ways -- but his people? There is no mystery in self-interest. It's just self-interest.
