Thanks for the obvious

Yesterday, Pope Benedict XVI made a statement that sex abuse is a "scourge" on all society and that the rest of society be held to the exacting standards we apply to the church. Well thanks for stating the obvious, you smug bastard. Here's a thought. Why don't you act like the moral authority you claim to be and disabuse yourself of your piety in this matter? You want to be a higher moral authority, then act like it. We hold you to higher moral standards simply because you claim to have them. When you start admitting that you engaged in decades of coverup at the expense of the very people you were charged to protect and mentor, then I will listen. Until then, why don't you shut the %@*&# up!
