It shows were progressing as a country.
I look forward to our next retarded protest

You realise we arent the only religion in the world and definitely not the only ones who have been affected by it. Maybe find something else to worry about like the fact it was Irish men abusing these children. But hey no lets rant and rave about a Argentine :rolleyes: Like i said already, you all come across as idiots

An organisation that not only historically facilitated widespread rape of children throughout this country, but actively sought to spread it by transferring guilty priests to different parishes? An organisation that is still not doing anything near all in its power to stop the very same abuses from continuing in certain parishes right now? There's ignorance on display, that's for sure, but it's not amongst those protesting.

If they think they can wring their hands and ask for forgiveness while STILL continuing to do everything they can to prevent the truth from coming out, they are in for a rude awakening.
