They never do - it's like the affiliate that comes online and says he uses torrent to get his porn cuz it's free - hypocrisy is rampant - and not only at the Vatican.

I respect religion and people's right to it and everything but the Pope is sorely mistaken and wrong. He is blaming it on porn and on different things to deflect attention away from the nasty priests that did this. I say it's his fault and the other higher ups at the Catholic church who turned a blind eye to the problems and simply transferred these priests to different churches instead of getting rid of them altogether and outing them for their deeds. They are worse than the priests in my mind (the cardinals, the pope etc that knew all of this and turned their eyes), because they knew it was going on and pretended that it didn't. So many innocent kids hurt.

Anyway, let me just say I'm glad I wasn't raised Catholic, but even if I had been I probably would have just been wacked accross the knuckles by nuns since I'm not a boy.

It would have been more like this in your case |bananna|

Yeah, clergy taking advantage of young boys is definitely caused by porn...

Or then again it could be lines like "God wants me to touch your special place"

Why blames porn? He should see the other good side of it.
