Does Catholicism Have No Shame?
8 years ago
These days, Islam is lambasted by those of us who are still wiling to take on the risk of being beheaded, or starting mass riots in foreign lands, and rightly so. The genital mutilation of children, the horrid oppression of women, the herding of men like cattle into stupid and unwise relationships, not to mention the shooting of young girls with machineguns and the creators of havoc across the Middle East, are all crimes that we can "thank" that philosophy for.
Still, I must tip my hat to American Muslims, who are by and large remarkably moderate and quick to condemn and distance themselves from extremist mosques and groups. They are in fact our greatest eyes on the ground to detect and deal with would-be terrorists.
I fear that I cannot say the same for Catholics.
Despite the thousands of boys and girls who have been raped--not abused, mind you, raped--there are millions and millinos of people in this country who continue to monetarily and support this extremist group. It boggles the mind. I cannot think of any other group with views so anachronistic, which has done nothing meaningful to take responsibility over these horrendous abuses, and yet we are still supposed to respect it.
I say, the Hell with that. I honestly think that members of the Catholic church should feel ashamed of themselves if they are not taking all reasonable means to condemn and deal with this pattern of rape andabuse.
If we call upon Muslims to condemn terrorists, why don't we call upon Catholics to condemn the rapists of children?
