The Frolicsome Father

The one true church has another sex scandal on its hands–this time involving Fr. Albert Cutié. Unlike the priestly abuse scandal, this case is far more mundane.

It does, however, draw attention to the mutual hypocrisy within Catholicism. One the one hand, the priesthood tries to hold the laity to unscriptural and (therefore) unrealistic standards of sexual conduct. On the other hand, the laity returns the favor by trying to hold the priesthood to unscriptural and (therefore) unrealistic standards of sexual conduct.

Both sides could do themselves a big favor by simply ditching the unscriptural and (therefore) unrealistic standards of sexual conduct. For the status quo inevitably leads to a vicious cycle of mutual incrimination and recrimination.

  2. A bill has passed the US House that will protect pedofiles (see link). So soon enough, after it passes the Senate, the Romish priests will be able to join the congress in open child rape sessions because it will be a hate crime to say anything against them for their "sexual orientation."
