Kajun, you should ignore any further bearbaiting. You've maintained your original and correct POV despite the numerous unnecessary inferential and tangential arguments spawned thereof.

The Pope is no more responsible for child molestation and AIDS proliferation than a smoking gun is for any number of murders. The Pope is the figurehead of the Catholic church; he is not the doctrine. If you all wish to blame the church for the issues raised, then you have strong arguments and ample evidence. However, blaming the Pope is simply misguided.

All I've got to say about this is that hopefully the next Pope will be more willing to put his foot down if scandals like what happened in Boston a few years ago occur.

Crikey, this is amazing.

Dougan is right. Law did not molest any children himself, he merely moved around a bunch of molesting priests.

chaodwarrior is right in his assessment of the responsibility of the HEAD of an organization to handle a widespread problem.

He also mentioned first-time offenses. I agree there, too. We aren't speaking of an isolated incident.

There are many reasons NOT to fuck the Pope. One being that he is dead, and I haven't had the urge to do something like that since the end of WWII. Two is that he was really old, and I'm not comfortable inserting my genitalia into an orifice that is classically wrinkled in even the halest specimen. Third is that I don't fuck guys in the ass.

I said Fuck The Pope, which was my statement, which is what I'm still defending, apparently. I still say Fuck The Pope. I'm not saying everything else he did is illegitimate, I'm saying that there seems to be one rather glaring fuck-up in his career. I am not saying the Church went and said it was okay for priests to touch kids, either.

The pope being responsible for child molesters is nowhere near the same as a smoking gun. Why? Well, let's use the example of the smoking gun. People use guns to kill other people, right? Well, if it's used for its purpose, then there is nothing you can say against its manufacturer. That's the product, that's what it's for. If the guns keep backfiring on people and killing or injuring the people who USE them, then the gun company is absolutely responsible for getting those damn guns off the market.

I never said the Pope was King Child Molester Numero Uno. I said that as the head of an organization that seems to be PEPPERED LIBERALLY with kid-touchers, the motherfucker shoulda done something. And I think that his inaction is serious enough to warrant a big, fat FUCK DA POPE.

Also, I wouldn't boo the guy in public like these people did.

I don't think they're exactly on Kajun's side.

This reminds me of the hilarious minute's "silence" for the Queen Mum at Parkhead.

I'm not saying they are on Kajun's side. I'm saying that as much as I dislike the Pope, I wouldn't piss on his grave.

You'd say "fuck the Pope" in public but you wouldn't boo him?

You beat me to it.

Did we have a moment of silence for the Pope where I said Fuck the Pope instead? Did I create this thread?

If you can't see the difference between posting "Fuck the Pope" on a stripcreator.com thread called "Pope Death Countdown" and going to a sports event and booing when they have a moment of silence for him, then perhaps you ought to re-evaluate yourSELF.

What you don't understand is illustrated perfectly here:

The fact that you don't understand that comic isn't your fault either, hence the title.

You don't think I understand that comic? You think I don't know what ELSE "FTP" and "FTC" could stand for?

Come ON, man.

Yes, yes. I had no idea that the Catholic/Protestant hatred had spilled over into the footie realm before chooby told me. Especially since my brother and I grew up playing soccer and I'm Irish.
