Just when you think they couldn't get any worse, the Vatican displays whole new levels of douche-baggery. Oh no, they don't have any responsibility for covering up decades of systematic child-rape - it's just all the godless abortionists & gays trying to smear the Pope...

Vatican blasts critics for anti-Catholic 'hate' campaign
The Vatican heatedly defended Pope Benedict XVI on Tuesday, claiming accusations that he helped cover up the actions of pedophile priests are part of an anti-Catholic "hate" campaign targeting the pope for his opposition to abortion and same-sex marriage.
Vatican Radio broadcast comments by two senior cardinals explaining "the motive for these attacks" on the pope and the Vatican newspaper chipped in with spirited comments from another top cardinal.

"The pope defends life and the family, based on marriage between a man and a woman, in a world in which powerful lobbies would like to impose a completely different" agenda, Spanish Cardinal Julian Herranz, head of the disciplinary commission for Holy See officials, said on the radio. ...

Message to the Vatican: Keep on digging that hole ever deeper, you bastards. More than anything, this indefensible holier-than-thou attitude is going to be the Vatican's undoing.

What scumbags :mad:

Me! Pick me for a godless abortionist! I did not know that was why I was opposed to paedophilia, but I am not the most introspective person in the world. So now that I do know I can get to it with the more fervour!!

Any proponents of same sex marriage seeing more clearly now as well?
 
The Pope is just lucky that none of those altar boys got pregnant. THAT would have been a miracle!

I see this also as a big time slap to thinking Catholics. If you're a devout, pro-life, anti-gay-marriage Catholic, can you imagine how insulting it is to have the Vatican equate you to those whom you consider on the opposite end of the moral spectrum, just because you want to have solid answers to questions of the Vatican covering-up child rape?

Wow, talk about being waaaaay out of touch...

After this incident, I was really hoping that the Vatican would finally take some responsibility for these issues. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be the case. This isn't the worst way that they could have dealt with it, but this is still pretty bad. Perhaps they will come to their senses at some point in the future...

In essence, they have - by equating anyone who criticizes them to atheists, abortionists, gays, and "Catholic haters". See my previous post.

So ... according to the Vatican, you are either a devout Roman Catholic who never questions or doubts the moral integrity of the church leadership, or you are an abortionist, an atheist and a homosexual.

I'll just go sit over here on the 'Group-W' bench, with all the mother-stabbing, father-raping litterbugs...
 
It all makes sense now! I can't believe I didn't see it before! Now I see why the Catholic church is so against gays and abortionists! Now I understand why the Catholic church is against condoms and birth control! It was right before my eyes all this time, but I didn't see it until now! Less children being born means less children for priests to rape. :P
 
My favorite quote in the entire article has got to the one from Bertone, the Vatican Secretary of State, responding to charges about a priest who raped 200 deaf children:

"Let's not talk about this topic now, because otherwise we'll be here all day verifying precisely the action taken by me and by his eminence."

Yep, that's the goodness and compassion of the church, right there.

where did the atheism come into it?

Tradition probably (RCC or anti-RCC-ists).

I would like to have seen this though:
It noted anti-Catholic graffiti on walls of a church outside Viterbo, a town near Rome, and reminded listeners that a bishop was attacked by a man during Easter Mass in Muenster, Germany. The bishop fought back with an incense bowl.
Ninja Priest!
