Maureen Dowd On The Catholic Church’s Child Molestation Spin

11:37 pm EST March 30th, 2010 | Religion | 3 Comments

I am not a fan of Maureen Dowd, but she totally shreds the Catholic Church (and their US-based apologists, Bill Donohue’s right-wing “Catholic League”) in a most righteous fashion.

Complete with crown-of-thorns imagery, the church has started an Easter public relations blitz defending a pope who went along with the perverse culture of protecting molesters and the church’s reputation rather than abused — and sometimes disabled and disadvantaged — children.

The church gave up its credibility for Lent. Holy Thursday and Good Friday are now becoming Cover-Up Thursday and Blame-Others Friday.

    Allright, let’s assume the Vatican’s highest priority is protecting the reputation of the church. If so, time to change course gents.

    I chose this monicker for a reason.
