Cardinal Keith O'Brien, the UK's most senior Roman Catholic cleric, has resigned as the head of the Scottish Catholic church after being accused of "inappropriate acts" towards fellow priests.
News that Pope Benedict had accepted the cardinal's resignation as archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh came after the Observer disclosed a series of allegations by three priests and one former priest.

So it turns out that Britains top RC priest and avid anti-gay rights campaigner has been caught with his trousers down, WITH OTHER PRIESTS! Maybe with bigots and hypocrites like him out of the way human rights can start moving forward again within the church.

Theres so many things I could say about the "church" and its lies. But I would get infracted hard!
All I can say is he clearly didn't practice what he preached.

I wonder if a lot of this stuff would go away if priests were allowed to date and get married.

As I see it, let them hump each other as much as possible.
We all know the alternative to that when looking back at the other sex related scandals with children.But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

The only problem here, is that it leaves Britain without a vote when choosing a new pope. Worth it to get rid of that hypocrite though.

Excellent. Now for the dissolution of the Church entirely and then we can start making some progress

I don't understand how it really works, can't the next dude up just go? Or does there have to some sort of Cardinal ceremony to fill him up to the proper amount of Jesus?

Probably the same reason the Night's Watch isn't supposed to take any wives or father any children. Originally Posted by Tommo

At least you may get a Cardinal chosen by a more progressive Pope, if they decide to go that way. Originally Posted by RICH1471

We can only hope. Or pray, if that's the way you swing. Originally Posted by Reg

I wish I could say this was shocking. I guess when you're a Cardinal you move onto the big boys instead of hanging with the altar boys.

2013-02-25, 05:38 PM #20DeletedHe sexually harassed four priests in the 80s, if what I read earlier is correct. So it's not quite as scandalous -- unfortunately :> Originally Posted by RICH1471
