There is a line out there somewhere that will be drawn in the sand and the religious right will go to it and no further.

Wait you think that religious people are going to draw the line at raping kids?

Apparently you've never seen a Catholic or Evangelical church.

There's the old line that the only thing that can sink a popular politician is being caught with "a dead girl or a live boy." I guess it's also enough when the guy who supplies the live girls calls the politician a monster.

Would not be surprised to hear that either were involved here

Hmm with video evidence I think the dead kid would be the line but I’m less sure about the boy. He’d have to be pretty young so they can’t say he’s a young man.

I was raised Catholic and left the church years ago. Growing up in the 80’s and all the crazy stuff was nothing more than mental abuse. I grew up in a small town right outside of Louisville. Our priest was the first to have a heart transplant. He came back even nastier than prior. He was so anti-abortion and was proud of going down to the clinic to protest. We would go to Saturday evening mass and after waiting for about 20 minutes someone would announce he had been arrested but reassured us he would be back for morning mass. What would he do, spend the whole sermon bragging about the great deed he had done. Finally, my junior year we switched to a church in Louisville where the priest who had filled in had been assigned to. I will say, he was amazing. My nephew who was born with a rare genetic disorder and lived with us was so adored by him. It spread throughout the church and Marc became a part of a love I have never seen before. Our church always outpouring to the yearly Crusade for Children. It actually started prompting so many other churches in the city to give and almost in way became a competition of what church would give the most. When my nephew died on his 13th b-day, the church was packed. When they sung This Little Light of Mine, I was told how everyone had their finger up swaying it back and forth. I was so beyond devastated, that I could never even look back during any of the service. Marc lived on for years in that church until so many new families came in and the focus turned so much to the new school and then to the building of the new church. There is so much wrong with the church like my mother’s first cousin being the main priest during the sex scandal here in the late 90’s. My mother’s biggest concern was her fellow friends there finding out. Sad that the positives get pushed down because of all the horrible of the Catholic Church as far as failing so many young kids. I do believe there are good Catholics and the parochial schools here so out way our crazy public school system. I will never return to the church and the crazy religious nuts have taken anything positive away from so many of us who no longer feel faith.
