WERNICH GETS LIFE; POPE SUPPORTED CRIMES

The upshot of this BBC story is that von Wernich (guilty) is the first of possibly many such Church related cases. According to BBC, the Catholic hierarchy in Argentina all condoned, and some actually participated in the Junta's dirty war.

Is there any reason to believe the Catholic hierarchy in any other part of the world is any better?

Here’s the Pope’s kidnapping-for-Jesus bit:

The most high-profile witness during the three-month trial was the Argentine Nobel Peace prize laureate, Adolfo Perez Esquivel, himself a prisoner under military rule.

He declared in court that he had told Pope John Paul II personally that the military was kidnapping the babies of women prisoners.

"The Pope put down the information I'd given him," he said. "Then he told me: 'You also have to think about the children living in communist countries.'"

So, Pope John Paul II approved kidnapping babies if it’s part of a fight against communism.

I guess if you're pro-capitalist, you just want to canonize that guy.

--KEEPS ON GIVING

Over at Metrexius Journal, Vas Corp Por describes a boring metaphysics class, his hatred of someone named Plantinga, and Mike Tyson’s fist.

Vas' attention was grabbed when:

Somehow, this branched off into a discussion about sex. Evidently, my poor professor was educated by Jesuits for 8 years, and he claims to be completely incapable of conceiving of sex without guilt. As in, he can't imagine a sex act that doesn't involve guilt somehow, because the bloodsucking Jesuits taught him that even sexual thoughts are sinful. It's objectively wrong, they say. Cripes, that must be awful; I'll take my humanistic moral noncognitivism and guilt-free sex over their "complete metaphysics" any day of the week, thankyouverymuch. Tee hee!

I’m, like, “What he said.”
