artists rendition of CD’s buddy Pazuzu and a Catholic priest who attempted to get near her nephew
One image in the book features a guardian angel hovering over an altar boy with a priest lurking in the background.I suppose it’s my background in the history of religions with winged beings; trust me when I say that Pazuzu isn’t your friend. But anyway, I don’t know if this “approach” to curbing endemic pedophilia in the Catholic Church is going to make any difference. It seems both funny and pathetic to me at the same time. Not that it surprises me, but this number sort of stands out:“For safety’s sake, a child and an adult shouldn’t be alone in a closed room together,” the angel counsels. In another, the angel warns of a sexual predator attempting to chat with a child over the Internet.
According to the group “Bishop Accountability,” some 3,000 priests out of the 42,000 across the country have since been denounced, some of whom have been investigated and convicted.Three thousand? That’s a huge number, shockingly huge. I am so glad to be a childless atheist some days.
None of my neices or nephew will ever, ever be allowed within 100 yards of a Catholic priest. Pazuzu and I will see to that.

This is why scouting demands
3-deep leadership — NO adult is ever left alone with ANY child not his/her own (adults can’t sleep in the same tent with children not their own).
it’s one of the few things the increasingly-wingnut Scouts still get right, and it grew directly out of the 1980s rash of pedophilic scout leaders.
And, while you're at it, the Southern Baptists
Because they’re just as bad as the Catholics, if not worse. I mean, at least the Catholics have incense and keen religious art.
I don’t know why I can’t get any traction with this Southern Baptist thing and Huckabee. Just seems such an obvious way to call bullshit.
We. Are. Going. To. Die. We must restore hope in the world. We must bring forth a new way of living that can sustain the world. Or else it is not just us who will die but everyone. What have we got to lose? Go forth and Fight!—Xan
