Oh, Pope Palpatine... What the fucking fuck.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Dude, I can't follow that. Is he saying:
1. The Church didn't used to think pedophilia was so bad; and
2. Child pornography is on the rise and society thinks it's okay.
?? Because dude, that makes no sense. Also, way to cast the blame for your child-abuse scandal on society as a whole.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Now I feel bad for all the good catholics of the world.

Agreed, tommy. Agreed.
Every time I hear a story of Catholic fuckwaddery, I take a deep breath, think of JZ and her congregation and regain a little POV.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
But...he seems to be saying that it's a shitty thing that it appears to be becoming "normal." He talks about child sex trafficking as a tragedy. I mean, I'm not a big pope fan, but it seems as though he clearly thinks these are shitty things.

I mean, the quote: "Asking how abuse exploded within the Church, the Pontiff called on senior clerics "to repair as much as possible the injustices that occurred" and to help victims heal through a better presentation of the Christian message."
Doesn't seem to be like he's saying this was ever a good thing. Not when he's calling it an injustice, and referring to the children as victims.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm going back to Suri's Burn Book. It's the only thing that makes sense in the world right now.
People at my job are trying to make my head explode enough.
