Ahhh, Religion.
Yesterday, Morning Edition had a piece on sexual abuse victims making progress in using the Vatican. The duality of the Religion and Nation State of the catholic church has provided cover for the Pontiff and his lackeys, but its seems there may be an opening. Recently, an Oregon federal court and the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Ohio said they are open to hearing arguments, based on the exception to the sovereign state immunity, called the "tortious act" exception. If the plaintiffs can show that U.S. bishops are officials of the Vatican, and that they harmed children by failing to report sex abuse, then there is a chance of getting to trial. Seems open and shut to me.
Meanwhile back at the Vatican...Gay people are going to bring the world to an end. Jesus.

Man oh man, that pope!
Maybe someone should let him know that about 50% of the world's plant and animal species are found in rain forests, so one could argue if you were really interested in saving God's creations its way more important to save the rain forests than one single species like humans (though the implied analogy homosexuality:humans::slash&burn:rain forest is so totally ridiculous I have to wonder if he is serious, or seriously deranged).
