Would somebody PLEASE put the last nail in this coffin???

Sure'n it must be Sunday, my day to preach. This news just added lighter fluid to the pile of faggots building at the feet of the Catholic church:

Pupils Abused For Decades in Irish Schools
Panel Finds Misconduct by Priests, Nuns Until 1990

LONDON, May 20 -- Thousands of children were physically and sexually abused by priests and nuns in orphanages and reform schools in Ireland from 1930 to 1990, a government commission said Wednesday in the first official accounting of the full magnitude of a scandal that has wrenched the deeply Roman Catholic nation.

The 2,600-page report, which capped a nine-year investigation, said rape and sexual abuse were "endemic" in boys' institutions funded by the state but run by the church. "A climate of fear, created by pervasive, excessive and arbitrary punishment, permeated most of the institutions and all those run for boys," it said.


The commission said documents found at the Vatican showed that religious orders knew of numerous abuse complaints but covered them up, worried more about scandal than about protecting children.

The Christian Brothers ran many of the residential boys homes in Ireland, and more allegations were made against it than against all the other male religious orders combined. The Christian Brothers successfully sued the commission in 2004 to keep its members unnamed, noting that many of the brothers were dead and could not defend themselves.

Increased persecutions of child "witches"

Is your child a "witch"? If the child lives in Nigeria, and possesses any of these traits, yes indeedy, he or she must be a witch.
* cavorting
* learning disabilities
* stubbornness
* ailments such as epilepsy
Who can tell if a child is a witch or not? Wait for it -- THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. Deja Vu all over again. "The role of the international Christian community in this cannot be underestimated," Foxcroft said. "Unfortunately, the fact remains that this belief system is being spread by so-called Christians."
These are the same people (or close church relation, anyway) of the people who believe abortion is a sin, that deprives a creature of god a chance to live. And what do these church people do with the children brought to life in this loving environment? Beat them, torture them, kill them. With god on their side, I'm sure.

Marilyn French, feminist author, died May 2, 2009

The author of The Women's Room, one of my favorite feminist fiction novels, had these coupla things to say, which I quote here for posterity:


“My goal in life is to change the entire social and economic structure of western civilization, to make it a feminist world.”

“I was always a feminist, because to me a feminist is simply any woman who thinks women matter as much as men do.”

“All the women I know feel a little like outlaws.”
