Where'd you get the 80% figure?<BR/><BR/>(The Protecting God's Children class I had to take to work in a parish - even as clerical support - insisted on the distinction between pedophilia and homosexuality. Which I can appreciate. But if the lion's share of the cases were with pubescent victims, that's a different story...)Kasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12252276821520357094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-90781299067113079802008-05-23T01:57:00.000-05:002008-05-23T01:57:00.000-05:00I can summarize the whole statement of Cardinal Be...I can summarize the whole statement of Cardinal Bertone to the seminaries thus: "What part of NO! don't you understand?"<BR/><BR/>Or, to keep up with your Mafia theme: Cardinal Berone makes seminaries an offer they better not refuse: "Hey gavone! No finochio! Capisce?????"<BR/><BR/>Actually, Papa Benedetto is the Capo of the Catholic Church, Bertone is the equivelent of a caporegime.<BR/><BR/>PS Cavey, good Italiano that I am, I have to tell you that CAPO only has 1 P, not 2 as you wrote it.<BR/><BR/>PPS The definitions of gavone & finochio are the slang usages, not the standard Italiano. However, I think that most readers are smart enough to figure out what I said without my translating.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07721319432213055605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-85264194744543640612008-05-22T08:57:00.000-05:002008-05-22T08:57:00.000-05:00I got about three things to say--make that four.1-...I got about three things to say--make that four.<BR/><BR/>1--I expect a schism in the US, aomewhat along the lines of the Brasilian National Apostolic Catholic Church. I don't think it will be along geographic lines, but I do expect some areas will have a higher proportion of Schismatics than others. The result will be the Roman Catholic Church in the US, and the "American Catholic Church." Both will spend a lot of time on their knees--one in front of the Blessed Sacrament.<BR/><BR/>David--Cdl Mahoney seems to be changing his tune since the Holy Father visited.
