http://absolutezerounited.blogspot.com/search/label/Catholic%20ChurchSo Pope Benedict XVI is added to the growing list of people considered "pedophile enablers." As mother would say, "Holy Mackrel!" Can you say BLASPHEMY? Read their "spin" on the papal address regarding the sex abuse scandal: (PS thanks to Daydreamer of Oz for this gem, what a veitible mine of stupidity)
Ozzie: What does this remind you of?
Pope: What does it mean to speak of child protection when pornography and violence can be viewed in so many homes through media widely available today?
Ozzie: Read: Its society's fault when a pedophile molests a kid because after all pornography and violence can be seen in the media.
Warped Ohio's take: The Pope has made a keen observation, that American obsession with all things sexual creates an environment conducive to illicit sexual behavior. Glorifying illicit sexual behavior ("Stiffler's mom, yeah") is not an excuse, but it is an observation that we saturate ourselves with this smut with, while simultaneously neglecting to educate our kids about what is acceptable sexual behavior.
Pope: Those who "have experienced shame over what has occurred" deserve guidance and support.
Ozzie: Read: Its the offenders we need to focus on and stop worrying about those pesky victims.
Oh Yes, Ozzie, lets focus on former offenders, lets forget about helping crime victims recover from harm so they don't spend their loves in bitterness and blind hatred, like you. NOT! You need to spend less time Daydreaming and spend more time in reality. Lets see, the Pope spends time talking to SNAP, looking to find a way to find a way to make reparations for what the American church system had done, and wants to offer them guidance and support to help abuse victims deal with the hurt. Ozzie apparently doesn't seem to understand that many times, the VICTIMS feel shame over what has happened. For a guy in a group claiming to be a voice for the children, Ozzie has little grasp on the concept of the shame people feel when abused.
AZU stated in a recent post up on their site, "spin is evil... the antis won't stand for it." Spin is evil? You just spun quite a web yourself.
