True. Actually I wasn't real blaming the church for anything. It just seems the Catholic Church is taking a beating as of late. And this stuff is not making the church look any better.
Well, actually, ALL Christian faiths have been subjected to a lot from many different angles. The only ones not being criticized are the Muslims- and everyone is bowing to them, for some odd reason.
Funny, but when a teacher molests a student, the school system is not blamed; but let a priest do so, and the entire church is at fault.

I think the difference with the schools is that in most cases the schools the schools don't waste much time throwing a teacher under the bus. The church is more apt to protect one of their flock. But that's just my view.
If there were any doubts that Religious Right voters are still a powerful force in the Republican Party, Mike Huckabee's huge win in the Iowa Republican caucuses last night put them to rest.
Huckabee's friendly, folksy demeanor can distract attention from the disturbing fact that he and his backers essentially urged conservative evangelicals to vote for him based on his being the "right" kind of Christian.
That should make Americans very nervous.
Governor Huckabee has pledged to support every item on the Radical Right's wish list: a constitutional ban on abortion, a veto of legislation to protect gay and lesbian Americans from discrimination, support for a bill to keep federal courts from intervening when local officials violate the separation of church and state, and most importantly, a far-right Supreme Court.
When asked about what kind of justices Huckabee would appoint to the Supreme Court -- something CNN predicts the next president could get to do three or more times -- his answer was:
"I would want people who are in the spirit of Scalia. He's probably my hero in the Court."
That should make Americans even more nervous.
To find out more about what Mike Huckabee and the other Republican presidential candidates are saying about the Court, please visit www.TakeBackTheCourt.org.
We hope that you stand with us in 2008 as we continue to expose and counter the Radical Right, and mobilize thousands of Americans to Take Back the Court. -- Your Allies at People For the American Way
Wasn't there 2 Kennedy murders. Ted at Chapaquidick and the cousin in FL that raped and killed a girl acquaintance.
Don't forget OJ was a Republican,and Wm Shatner another Republican had a shady experince with the drowning of his wife. Don't forget Lil Beaver grew up and killed his childs mother.
