What a guy

From Judy Mandelbaum’s corker of an article at Salon, Bishop blames Jews for child molestation scandal:

Last week, retired Bishop Giacomo Babini of the Italian town of Grosseto told the Catholic Pontifex website that the Catholic pedophile scandal is being orchestrated by the “eternal enemies of Catholicism, namely the freemasons and the Jews, whose mutual entanglements are not always easy to see through… I think that it is primarily a Zionist attack, in view of its power and refinement. They do not want the church, they are its natural enemies. Deep down, historically speaking, the Jews are God-killers.”

Read the whole thing; Babini’s apologia for the Holocaust brought mirthful tears to my eyes. I mean, just when this guy brings down the house by grouping Teh Jews and Teh Freemasons and I’m thinking he can’t possibly one-up himself, he blames the Jews for their own Shoah. Give the guy a little more rope and he’ll surely resuscitate the blood libel. Speaking of which, excuse me a moment while I go down to the local day care center to bait me some toddler traps.

He looks angry about <em>something</em>

He looks angry about something

Well, to quote Angel Heart, “They say there’s enough religion in the world to make men hate each other, but not enough to make them love.” Or perhaps it would be better to paraphrase P. T. Barnum: There’s an asshole born every minute.

    Y’all just wait. I attended Catholic schools from pre-k through high school, grades 6 through 12 in all girls schools with nuns in the 50-60’s. What amazes me is that we have heard so little about sexual abuse of girls by nuns. YIKES! Believe me, it happened.

    I agree Lucie! Even the priests abusing girls hasn’t been mentioned nearly as much and we know it certainly happened. I think the only celebrity making a noise on that point is Roseanne and she’s not all that influential at encouraging sympathies.

    I love every disgusting word this man says. The more they speak the sooner we can done with them all.
