3 Catholic Priests, teacher Charged with sexually abusing boys
Quote:
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (CNN) - Three Philadelphia priests and a parochial school teacher were charged Thursday with raping and assaulting boys in their care, while a former official with the Philadelphia Archdiocese was accused of allowing the abusive priests to have access to children, the city's district attorney's office said.
CNN Senior Vatican analyst John Allen said the charges against the former church official appeared to be unprecedented and could have national implications.
"This is apparently the first time that a Catholic leader has been charged criminally for the cover-up as opposed to the abuse itself," he said. "It sends a shot across the bow for bishops and other diocesan officials in other parts of the country, who have to wonder now if they've got criminal exposure, too."
Edward Avery, 68, and Charles Engelhardt, 64, were charged with allegedly assaulting a 10-year-old boy at St. Jerome Parish from 1998 to 1999. Bernard Shero, 48, a teacher in the school, is charged with allegedly assaulting the same boy there in 2000, Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams said at a Thursday press conference.

Being a true and true Christian believer I'd rather leave this alone right now because its far to early in the morning for me to wanna touch this age disturbing old topic...
But I must say, the creeper on the bottom right looks slightly like a mentally challenged + busted version of Jimmy Kimmel...
PS - I hope they all burn to ashes if convicted...

how's this? it's 100% cooler. the stories are cooler, the characters are cooler, the powers are cooler, the god beefs are cooler, and in addition to that, you don't have to be associated with any notorious radical loony bins because nobody legitimately buys and perverts ancient Greek mythology any more. so there you go. gimme homer's epics over the gospels any day of any week of any year except 2012 where it'll pay to be worshiping the true savior of the world and not some lightning wielding decoy.

every ancient religion has archaic practices widely rejected by modernity. a reinterpretation of Greek beliefs would be no different. so i'd only have to kill goats and slaves if you, the hypothetical christian, would have to do, oh i don't know, all of this stuff (see 1:55 btw) and a whole hell of a lot more.
