Have any Catholic leaders condemned Foley's behavior like they did...

...with Kerry because of his abortion stance right before the 2004 election? Appears they have been laying mighty low on this one.

6. most of the molestation in the US is done by Protestants

Sex abuse spans spectrum of churches
By Mark Clayton | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor

Despite headlines focusing on the priest pedophile problem in the Roman Catholic Church, most American churches being hit with child sexual-abuse allegations are Protestant, and most of the alleged abusers are not clergy or staff, but church volunteers.

These are findings from national surveys by Christian Ministry Resources (CMR), a tax and legal-advice publisher serving more than 75,000 congregations and 1,000 denominational agencies nationwide.

CMR's annual surveys of about 1,000 churches nationwide have asked about sexual abuse since 1993. They're a remarkable window on a problem that lurked largely in the shadows of public awareness until the Catholic scandals arose.

The surveys suggest that over the past decade, the pace of child-abuse allegations against American churches has averaged 70 a week. The surveys registered a slight downward trend in reported abuse starting in 1997, possibly a result of the introduction of preventive measures by churches.

2. Pedophiles who live in glass churches shouldn't throw stones. n/t

3. How could they possibly do that...

with so many outstanding charges still pending against their own pedophile priests all over the country??? They don't want to end up setting for $$$ with anyone they don't have to, so they are protecting their own criminals. It would kind of be the pot calling the kettle black, if you know what I mean.

4. Sadly...I haven't heard a word....But, Ratzinger met with Kissinger

after Ratzinger made his anti-Muslim remarks and Wolf Blitzer said last Sunday that Kissenger has a relationship with Ratzinger having met with him when he was a professor and both are German Born.

I don't know what that says...but it might seem that we have another POLITICAL POPE which isn't NEW in History............if one has read the "history of Popes" in the world. And particularly the "REFORMATION."

:shrug: Kissinger meeting with Ratzinger..is not good NEWS....imho...........

5. The American Family Association has come out in defense of the GOP

Basically saying it is all the liberal media's fault that this is an issue and pushing the idea that Democrats are worse.
