I have no idea what my car insurance costs without looking it up, now that you mention it. I can't not have it, so all all the budget numbers that matter week to week are after it's been paid.

i mean i don't know my exact rate but it's one thing to be like $100 a month and be in the ballpark and it's another thing for trump to think the gerber baby life insurance commercials were talking about adult health insurance and claim that health care costs $12 a year

I work at this store. We call him the Mad Shitter

Edit: Also he put it on a toys department shelf holding the bottoms flaps shut so when our midnight stocker picked the box up to put it where its supposed to be the bottom opened and the poo poo fell out all over the shelf and floor. It was apparently... Not solid..

First, open box upside down, then poop in box, next hold bottom closed and flip box back over, then put the box on the shelf. This isn't rocket science.

I used that example because it literally already happened. Trump said a 20 year old pays $12 a year for health insurance.

Is a church considered a public area?

They were arrested for "having sex within public view" even though they were inside the church, because someone called the cops because they got nosy and looked inside the church because the lights were on after hours.

The pastor should be fired, sure, but arrested for getting weird with it? That's bullshit.

I don't know legally, but ideologically a Catholic church is supposed to be publicly accessible at all times. Even though this usually requires waking up the priest and having him open up the place. So maybe they're considered a public space in some legal sense as well, with only the rectory private?

The man is not preying on children, and forced celibacy is a profoundly stupid concept anyway (I can say this because I'm from a culturally Catholic background). Good on you, priest guy.

To be honest, as an organization the Church barely still exists in my country, and they've been having to import priests from abroad for a while now.

And that's the solution if you want to make a statement, just stop going to church, don't have your kids baptized, if you still want to be Christian for some reason there are other options

e: does the sex priest (good kind) have a GoFundMe

Dude, I fought the devoutly catholic elements of my family tooth and nail growing up, and ultimately it resulted in nothing productive, they just dug their heels in more. What, precisely, do you want me to do rather than excise that branch from my life? I, thankfully, have not had anyone in my immediate family molested by the church, but trying to talk some people down just results in them edging a few inches closer the end of the roof.

just to be clear, everyone is referring beyond goons - this is the general tenor of every facebook/twitter comment on this as well. it feels very "No Way to Prevent This" because, and this is where my frustration lies, of the implicit notion that the catholic church - where "at least it wasn't kids" - must continue to exist as is. so yeah, I wasn't arguing that anyone needed to get out of their chair and do something right this instant. i'm just bummed that the catholic church's widespread child molestation happened and it's frustrating to be reminded of their continued hypocrisy. plus, as stated, I have personal involvement, and I made this mistake of thinking I could vent my continued frustration without my comment being interpreted as an attack.

Okay, sorry for misinterpreting your post. It does seem like the Catholic Church has the same cultural protections as guns do in the US, just writ on a global scale. It sucks.

For what it’s worth, I apparently farted in the holy water when I was baptized as a babe, and have maintained that opinion ever since.

Generational change is how these things usually evolve. My parents grew up in one of the more conservative parts of Flanders in the 1960's, which is saying something. Almost everyone went to church, and society in general was very (outwardly) religious, narrowminded and traditional.
A decade later, with the intervening cultural revolution centered on 1968, that whole edifice had come tumbling down. People stopped going to mass, attitudes towards premarital sex and such changed radically, and young people in general simply rejected that whole cultural package with glee. Fast forward to 2020 and even that sense of rebellion is gone, because there is nothing left to rebel against. No one goes to church, no one is being ordained, and the general attitude towards the Church is either indifference or hostility. (Note that this is not the same as saying that no one is religious)

So what Mywhatacleanturtle is doing is exactly what is needed, no more, no less. No conflict (other than mockery), no 'trying to change things from within', just permanent disengagement. Let it slowly bleed to death, that's what it deserves.

Remember that the Church cares only about maintaining worldly power. Splendor and 'tradition' as well, but only insofar as these serve that primary goal of power. Deny them followers, deny them influence, and unlike the decentralized Protestant churches it will wither and die.

The article says “obscene acts [that] occurred on the altar, which is clearly visible from the street.” So there must be some transparent windows that face the altar, so someone could have been standing outside those windows and seen something, even if nobody did.

Because we've already settled into a grim understanding that everyone who has power over us will rape our family members, specifically children, with no repercussions. The Church is just the one whose power is loose enough that it is culturally appropriate to joke about it. Our last presidential race was literally between a child rapist and someone who covered for their husband being a child rapist.
