In his traditional Christmas address yesterday to cardinals and officials working in Rome, Pope Benedict XVI also claimed that child pornography was increasingly considered “normal” by society.
Oh? Do tell, Mr. Ratzinger.
Quote :
“In the 1970s, paedophilia was theorised as something fully in conformity with man and even with children,” the Pope said.
Yeah, in 1970 BC maybe. Which only goes to show how much of an outdated fossil Ratzinger really is
Quote :
“It was maintained — even within the realm of Catholic theology — that there is no such thing as evil in itself or good in itself. There is only a ‘better than' and a ‘worse than'. Nothing is good or bad in itself.”
Suuuuuuuuure it is. Like I bet fucking kids is "better than" fucking kids and getting caught for fucking kids.
But at least we know where Ratzinger stands on the issue, right?
Quote :
Pope Benedict also said sex tourism in the Third World was “threatening an entire generation”.
So fucking kids is bad... but not if you're a priest and it was a really long time ago. Ooooo-kay. Gotcha.

I know of no point in the United States that fucking children under the age of consent was ever considered okay. Of course, the age of consent has changed over the years, but generally only in relation to marriage (unless you were a Mormon, in which case it was perfectly okay for a man in his 50s to have a dozen wives, half of whom were under 15. Come to that, in some places, it still is).
There were certain cultures where sex with children was considered to be okay (the Roman's, for instance), but that was usually only the very rich, and their general indulgence in just about any sin one can think of is believed to be what brought about the end of the Empire.
No right-thinking person has ever believed it's okay for an older person, in a position of authority, to take sexual advantage of a child. This includes teachers, Priests, doctors, and anyone else who works with youngsters.
And from some of the reading I've done, Priests were molesting young boys (and girls) long before the 1970s. So stop trying to blame the sexual liberation of the early 70s for the Church's stupid insistence on celibacy. You're one of the few religions left in the world that requires it
Also, basing the sexual tenants of your religion on the writings of the Apostle Paul was a bad idea. The man had some truly wrong-headed views where sex was concerned.
The Catholic Church is starting to sound a lot like Holocaust Revisionists-well it was bad, but it wasn't as bad as everyone says it was. It makes me want to smack them upside the head and tell them to get out into the REAL world, instead of spending all their time hiding in the Basilica.

It's theorized that Paul spent some time in Narnia.

I'm fairly certain Paul was not an Apostle, clownshoes. He was just a Saint.

Mikey, are you just being more deliberately dense than usual?
Educate yourself, please.

Is there a word missing or something? Because these two quotes seem to be contradicting each other:
Quote :
Pope Benedict XVI also claimed that child pornography was increasingly considered “normal” by society.
Quote :
“In the 1970s, paedophilia was theorised as something fully in conformity with man and even with children,” the Pope said.

But NO BUGGERY.

Someone is not aware of the literally millions of dollars spent yearly by the police and FBI to combat the creation and distribution of child pornography.

Because we all know those damn kindergartners were just asking for it...

I was talking about Ancient Rome, around the time Caligula was Emperor
