"We could use a guy like him" said Cardinal Francios Bertelucci less than a day after Joe Paterno was fired by Penn State officials following the stunning moral collapse of the football program leadership and administration."We've had our eye on Joe since 1998 and we're fortunate he's become available"
"His innate ability to look the other way and only care about the organization is valuable to the church."

So you care so little that you can make jokes about it? You again show your true colors -- bigotry.

Anything I can do to end the tyranny of the catholic church will save lives.
What are you doing Joe? Besides making excuses for your leaders. You're a coward who did nothing while your church was and still is hiding from the law. All it would have taken for the laity to call for change and it would have happened. But no, you did nothing and your silence makes you an accomplice.
You're the worst.

Shut up, bigot. You have no idea what I did.

Actually, while D1B is often a boring, one trick pony, that was a damned funny post.
Everyone thinks a joke is funny except when it involves something about which they care.

D1B, you are a sad excuse for a human being. On September 12th, 2001 you were probably making jokes about the 9/11 tragedy too. At minimum, 20 some kids & their families, and that list is growing, have had their lives ruined by these heinous acts and you pop off about it? Obviously you don't have kids, and you don't deserve them either.
Some things are better unsaid - go back into your f'ing hole and be the douchebag that you are.

I'm glad I could help you take action, then. I look forward to seeing the changes.

(9-11)Wasn't making jokes about it, but said we asked for it. I also believed I mentioned the danger of religion, which was the root cause. I'm sure some holy roller had an issue with that.
Listen you pompous ass, you ever hear of the term satire? You're dealing with this tragedy by being a holier than everyone, self-appointed, soap box loudmouth - fine and good for you. I'm dealing with it by highlighting the utter ridiculousness-bordering on the surreal - nature of this colossal mess.
Satire is primarily a literary genre or form, although in practice it can also be found in the graphic and performing arts. In satire, vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, and society itself, into improvement.[1] Although satire is usually meant to be funny, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit as a weapon.
A common feature of satire is strong irony or sarcasm—"in satire, irony is militant"[2]—but parody, burlesque, exaggeration, juxtaposition, comparison, analogy, and double entendre are all frequently used in satirical speech and writing. This "militant" irony or sarcasm often professes to approve of (or at least accept as natural) the very things the satirist wishes to attack.
Satire is nowadays found in many artistic forms of expression, including literature, plays, commentary, and media such as lyrics.

While humor often offends some folks, it is also funny how some people use other distractions to avoid dealing with issues. A lot of people were willing to let Joe finish out the season...because they put football in front of the victims and their parents. WTF kind of thinking is that?
There is a good article on ESPN:
"Over the past few days, the fallout of the chilling tragedy seemed to focus more on its affect on Paterno's legacy than the victims themselves.
In a statement released by his family on Wednesday morning, Paterno said he would finally step aside after coaching the No. 12 Nittany Lions in their last three-regular season games and then potentially in the Big Ten championship game and a postseason bowl game. Paterno, who guided the Nittany Lions to two national championships, wanted one more shot at a title.
"At this moment the Board of Trustees should not spend a single minute discussing my status," Paterno said in the statement. "They have far more important matters to address. I want to make this as easy for them as I possibly can."
The easiest and best decision for Penn State would have been for Paterno to retire immediately on his own. Instead, Paterno ignored the greater good of the university he professed to love -- and more importantly the well being of the eight known victims and their families -- by selfishly trying to coach the Nittany Lions in a few more games.
Could you imagine the victims' horror if Paterno -- who all but ignored the sickening actions of their alleged predator -- had been cheered in his final home game against Nebraska at Beaver Stadium on Saturday? Could you imagine the victims' horror if Paterno had been carried off on his players' shoulders after winning the inaugural Big Ten championship game in Indianapolis on Dec. 3?
The Hall of Fame coach who did very little to help them was able to go on with his storybook life, while their lives had been shattered by a sexual predator who wasn't stopped by men with knowledge of the unspeakable crimes."

See, that's funny to me. But then again, I care about myself...so I am conflicted. Know any good therapists?

I dont have a priest. I was raised as a Catholic, but gave it up for Lent.
Since you enjoy conspiracy theories and stories about the church's misinformation campaign, here's a breaking story for you. My confirmation name is Patrick. Interestingly, my bother, a year older, tried to choose the name Patrick (we're Irish) but for some odd reason they told him he could not use that name because Patrick had been excommunicated. So he ended up with Thomas.
Needless to say, he was upset a year later when I was allowed to use Patrick. I don't think my brother ever trusted the Church again after that.

Kudos to you for leaving the church. On behalf of humanity - thank you.

D1B only hates Catholics because is a tongue-speaking, pew jumping, aisle running, filled with the Holy Ghost and fire fundamentalist charismatic Republican. If you can't see that charade, you've lost it. Here is what D1B's church services look like:

I've read D1b for 6 years and he can be the funniest person to ever hit a message board. But you know even ardent fans get sick of hearing "Stairway to Heaven" on the classic rock stations

D1B strikes out a shit ton. One home run every 200 at bats doesn't really make him a GOD...Alpha on the other hand, must be batting in the .900's
So he ended up with Thomas.
