What the hell is wrong with people?

This is not "teasing", "playing", or "joking". This is an old pervert who said the quiet part out loud and in front of a camera.

We need to wake up to the very serious problem we have as the human race - the problem of pedophiles being in charge of seemingly every significant thing.

Many of the most powerful men on earth are pedophiles. This is not hyperbole.

Not sure what my being Catholic has to do with it. I have been very vocal about what I believe should happen to Catholic priests who are guilty of sexual abuse.

Define "many".

And would it be fair for me to say that 'many Catholics are pedofiles? Is that the kind of stereotyping that a christian thinks is fair.

That's fair, and it's not stereotyping.

If one were to say "Catholics are pedophiles", then that would be unfair stereotyping; but using that qualifier "many" makes the statement unobjectionable.

By the way - I'm not saying Buddhists are pedophiles, or even that *many* Buddhists are pedophiles. I'm just saying that the Dalai Lama is a pedophile.

I'd prefer to think that he's 87 years old and probably senile.

Yes. It gets harder for a senile person to hide his "inner demons". All will be exposed to the light. If not in this life, then in the next.

No, we don't have to give him credit for such a foolish act.
