Um, it says in the article - twice - that the Libyan government requested our assistance in the matter.

You just described my Halloween of 1991.

Well, at least Jim Harbaugh won't be the most hated man in the locker room anymore.

And atheists like you make the rest look bad.

No. Our "faith" doesn't condone the abuse of children. Some of our priests abused children and some of our leadership covered it up. All Catholics should be horrified by these acts. These responsible should be held accountable.

Why are my comments now continually deleted?

I thought this was a blog that professed love, respect and equality for both sexes. If so, why does it continue to use sexist terms like "dick" in reference to bad men? Would you be OK Jezebel ran a headline such as "Kim Gordon Proves She's a Huge Pussy" or "Thurston Moore is a Cunt"? No. Those are sexist…

So, we can mock, ridicule and express contempt at people's CHOICES. That's OK? Because I choose my religion, it's OK to ridicule, insult and mock it? There are many things that people choose in this life that terrible people could criticize or ridicule. That doesn't make it OK.

Your comment is so misguided, misinformed and willfully ignorant that is isn't even worthy of a reasoned response. Have a nice day though.

Fine. Then you are an asshole.

Wow. Reading is fundamental. What else can I say?

Where did I say I didn't care about bettering my religious institution. Mistakes were made. Horrible, despicable mistakes. They need to be rectified.

Like, do you even read what write? You should try reading it out loud so you can hear how ignorant you sound.

Fuck off. YOU'RE the one condemning a billion Catholics with a swoop of your hand based on the acts of some sick priests. My original point was pointing out that mocking the ashes of Catholics on Ash Wednesday is bigoted as hell. Then you seemed to say it is OK because pedophiles. That's a shitty argument.

Oh, I see. So ALL Catholics are culpable for the acts of pedophiles and their supervisors. Thanks!

Seems pretty bigoted to dismiss and mock 1 billion human beings out of hand based on their religious beliefs and practices.

We're not talking about Pope Francis. We're talking about Catholics in general.

Ah, so you are selectively bigoted. Very savvy.

Bigotry is the state of mind of a bigot: someone who, as a result of their prejudices , treats or views other people with fear, distrust, hatred, contempt, or intolerance on the basis of a person's opinion, ethnicity, race, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability,…

Is that like the "I'm half-black, so I can say nigger" excuse?
