I don't know, who exactly the **** is running the Vatican? The abuses commited by Catholic priests over the past decade have done more to permanently erode the Catholic faith's standing than anything this side of the Reformation.
If I was in charge, at the first signs of misconduct I would have purged anyone even suspected of supporting that **** and sent a clear message to priests worldwide to the effect that yes, the Church is a Christian organization but they we also an Italian organization, and therefore anyone found playing hanky-panky with altar boys is likely to end up at the bottom of a river, capiche?
