Hit back. Yeah, right. They condemn the fact that it was published that senior officials of the church obviously blabbed their dismay at the formation of the Murphy Commission, which was to investigate the sexual abuse by members of the MCS in Ireland. Of course, all the cables mentioning any involvement in the church's attempts to brush matters under the carpet, are "unreliable" and "not exact quotations of Vatican officials". These are not literal quotes, but this is what their statements claim.
Some of the statements are attributed to Tarcisio Bertone (picture), the 'Secretary of State' of MCS City. He was also the guy trying to get the Irish government (and the independent Murphy Commission) to talk to diplomatic channels instead of to other politicians or even - gasp! - the press! Perish the thought, the public might become involved, and there might be people deciding that they want to (finally) cancel their MCS(tm) membership because of that! (A good idea, by the way, highly recommended).
And now that the cat is out of the bag in so many more ways, the Catholic Church sees itself as being allowed the same measure of 'righteous' anger as other, real, countries...
Obviously, not a lot of working grey matter is left in the heads of the so-called 'officials' of MCS City. If I knew anything less about their moronic workings in past centuries, I'd say, now they've gone completely, utterly, totally fuck-nuts.
Alas, it's once again typical.
The pope expresses regret when he hears about another sex scandal, he voices concern when hundreds of people accuse the representatives (officials? Nah! Never!) of the church of molestation, beatings, and sexual abuse, and he promises to take steps so that it will not happen again. Keep in mind that it took a lot of public pressure until he came out with these wise-ass whinie stupid statements!
Hey, fuckers! How about actually taking action and punishing the bastard members of your MCS instead of just blowing out stale warm air?
Just as an example: imagine your 10 year old daughter (or son) gets raped and beaten up by the neighbor, and when presented with evidence, the rapist's family expresses regret and promises to ensure it won't happen again. And when you decide to go public with proof to disclose the vile crime, they express their outrage and call your statements unreliable (despite proof).
Unfortunately, the pope is so far up many (or most) of the world leader's asses, that they don't seem to see enough of him to actually prosecute. On the other hand, there is so much more that WikiLeaks and Julian Assange have done wrong - yeah, let's prosecute that guy instead! That will detract the world from the content of the damning proof documents!
No fucking way!!! Let's not forget: even if Assange is in prison, more cables are released every day. I've taken to reading more of the cables, and less of the news coverage about his legal fight. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to see the guy incarcerated (if he's innocent of rape!), but the important thing is the stuff he published!
That cat is definitely out of the bag! And it will continue roaming for a long time yet.
It might even shit on Razzi's and Bertone's lawn again. One can hope!
