Sinead O'connor Deserves An Apology
 

I'm fine with forgiving her.

This time you're right (!) [although I personally don't have to apologize to her because I never blamed her in the first place]. FUCK THE MOTHERFUCKING CATHOLIC CHURCH.

the pedo/rape church struck her down mad quick.

She was ahead of her time and was attacking an institution nobody was ready to hear yet sadly.

ok, i don't wanna nitpick here, but i think martin luther, the french revolution, the bolsheviks, the spanish republic, and various latin american political movements, as well as many others i can't name, were way ahead of sinéad here. wasn't this bob geldof's idea after all?

the thing with the pope picture she tore up, he happened to be a charismatic and popular figure who was lionized for his polish provenance and anticommunist leanings, as well as nazi resister past, and so after the cold war ended he had a very particular public image that was political not just religious. "the pope won the cold war" kinda. same lie ronnie raygun acolytes tell about that president.

anyway i saw the thing and laughed/applauded, but sinéad wasn't really the most eloquent messenger, she just looked deranged. a bit like a schizophrenic tearing up a picture of santy kloss in front of a million children. i mean, sure, he doesn't exist, but what will the children do and the parents think. there are better ways. like lawsuits.

anyway yeah the pervert priest thing has always been well known in catholic countries. i attended catholic school because they were the only ones who'd take me (lol), and at home we all got warnings about that sort of shit, never be alone with a priest, etc. it was always a well known thing. i have a cousin who kicked a priest in the nuts when the priest tried to lure him at school. after the fact the priest got sent somewhere. yeah. sorta like having a dog with rabies but "eh, it's family dog" and it actually goes to a farm, where he bites others.

back then it was attributed to the mandatory celibacy business-- the church being a perfect place for pedos to hide in plain sight. every kid who ever wanted to be a priest was seen as a fucked weirdo for this reason (among others). but who knows what is what. it's not just catholic priests who are pedos. plenty others out there. the boy scouts? summer camps? schools? coaches? music teachers?

endless.

i watch father ted religiously though. it's hilarious.

martin luther raped people too. fuck all them assholes.


I posted this on Facebooks to share the indignation


"You all know that the "infallible" Pope, Supreme Leader Snoke of the Roman Catholic Church, can just DECLARE all rapist priests and monks excommunicated, and turn them all over the the respective police departments world-wide that have jurisdiction. All it would take is ONE Papal Bull. Less than ten minutes worth of work.
The Pope will never do that though, because every single Roman Catholic Priest is a money generator for the Vatican, the world's largest, oldest, and most profitable PYRAMID SCHEME EVER."

oh man, Father Ted! how do u know this show? I thought it is known only within Irish borders.

Are you serious? Father Ted has been hugely popular in the UK (where it was produced) and I'd assume anyone in America who knows about stuff like The Office, Black Adder, or Absolutely Fabulous (which seem to have acquired a bit of a cult following there) will have at least heard of Father Ted. There's been talk of an American remake for years ... the most recent rumour having Steve Martin in the Ted role.

Personally I could never get into it. But that's definitely just me. Most people I know absolutely love it.

how doesn’t everyone know of it? it’s the funniest thing ever. i think it’s generally popular on the interwebs

dont know exactly when i started but ive been rewatching it for years. first saw it on netflix i think, now i catch it on amazon video

it’s the best

?!!

More than 3,600 children in Germany were assaulted by Roman Catholic priests between 1946 and 2014, a leaked report has revealed.
The study was commissioned by the Church itself, and was due to be published on 25 September.
According to the report, some 1,670 clergymen in Germany committed some form of sex attack on 3,677 minors, German outlet Spiegel Online reported

1670 clergy rapists, divided by 70 years, equal 23+ rapist priests a YEAR were known by the Rape Church to be doing this, in Germany alone.



3,600+ children, CHILDREN, in 70 years (that we know of) . That is about 52 a year, raped, abused, sexually manipulated, assaulted, groomed, etc. every year THAT WE KNOW OF.


fuck the church. fuck all churches.



Fuck the Church

Imagine what these rapist assholes get away with in Africa, South America, East Asia, etc. They can do anything they want to anyone they want. Fuck the Pope. fuck every Roman Catholic that stands by their bullshit rape death worship cult "church".

I'm from the middle of South Dakota originally, and while I haven't seen Father Ted, I have definitely heard of it.

I never heard of Father Ted.

you just did!

but anyway, yes to what you said above, generally

while catholicism feels like home to me, i left home ages ago and never returned

shit’s too weird

but i still think some protestants are even worse, we just dont hear about it

this is not whataboutism btw

but when people focus only on catholics they miss the forest for the trees. perverted religion is a biiiig forest though.

e.g.

also, i have some buddhist stories but gotta get out of the house soon

The roman Catholic Church claims it is the ONLY true christian church and that all other christian churches fall under it's spiritual jurisdiction. fuckthem rapist fucks.


Roman Catholic church si the largest Christian church, mopst powerful, RICHEST, and most debased, worshipping a zombie, dead "saints", martyrs, and the endlessly recreated bloodshed torture death of a man who actually taught that all religions are false, all "priests" are liars

all of them do the same shit—“im the only the only the only”

i think megachurches and evangelists are way more toxic judging by the politics in this country

makes catholicism looks reasonable and tolerant when it’s actually not
