Should There Be an Inquisition for the Pope? (Dowd in full throttle Pope-bashing mode)
NY Times ^ | 3/31/10 | Maurren Dowd

Posted on 03/31/2010 11:13:54 AM PDT by reaganrevolutionin2010

It doesn’t seem right that the Catholic Church is spending Holy Week practicing the unholy art of spin.

Complete with crown-of-thorns imagery, the church has started an Easter public relations blitz defending a pope who went along with the perverse culture of protecting molesters and the church’s reputation rather than abused — and sometimes disabled and disadvantaged — children.

(snip)

Or maybe 30-second spots defending the pope with Benedict’s voice intoning at the end: “I am infallible, and I approve this message.”

A thread about the Pope - with CZJ pics. We should make this an annual Holy Week event! ;-)

Perhaps if Bitchy New York Times columnists were allowed to marry, they wouldn’t be so bitchy.

I don’t like Dowd.

But she is spot-on correct.

Yes, all child rape is sick and evil, but Mohammed is dead and didn't try to cover it up like the Catholic church.

If the libs, their trial lawyer friends and the liberal judges cared about locking pedophiles up; maybe I would care what they had to say. Why would they expect the Pope to excercise some judicial authority when judges and DA’s here let the vermin walk the streets.

The truth comes out...the liberals had acted like they thought the inquisition was a bad thing, but between Dowd and Waxman we can see that they must just be jealous that they weren't the first ones there. But they can take solace in the fact that they are the only ones to employ it in the last several centuries.

No. Mohammend did not cover it up. In fact you will find that preteen child brides are still legal and present in the Islamic world.
