SANTIAGO, Chile -- The Vatican's second-highest authority says the sex scandals haunting the Roman Catholic Church are linked to homosexuality and not celibacy among priests.

Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Vatican's secretary of state, made the comments during a news conference Monday in Chile, where one of the church's highest-profile pedophile cases involves a priest having sex with young girls.

"Many psychologists and psychiatrists have demonstrated that there is no relation between celibacy and pedophilia. But many others have demonstrated, I have been told recently, that there is a relation between homosexuality and pedophilia. That is true," said Bertone. "That is the problem."

I know this looks like someone is taking the onion too seriously, but it appears to be legit :lol:
It is nothing short of what was expected, and I didn't know they hadn't done this before.
The second paragraph is rather ironical though, he gave it in Chile while there they had sex with young girls and not boys.
What I'm also wondering is why they haven't continued the standard practice of just killing all the gays, that would have solved this.
Also, do you think that the onion has had several articles planned to be written, only to have the catholic church already do it?

That's just fucking idiotic. Say it out loud and it magically becomes true...
Let us hope that bankruptcy will show them the error of their ways.

She told the Chilean newspaper La Nacion: "I thought it wasn't that bad to have sex with him because when I told priests about it at confession they just told me to pray and that was it. They knew, and some of them guessed that it was Father Tato. But everyone looked the other way. No one corrected or helped me."

:shock:

Last week, the archbishop admitted the Chilean church was investigating cases of priest pedophilia after playing the issue down for years.

"There is something to these pedophilia abuses - just a few, thank God," Errazuriz said in an interview on state television.

Yeah, thank God.
