Pope: Sorry
about the thousands of rapes
Well, then, that makes it all OK
Excerpt:
Addressing the sex abuse crisis for the first
time from the seat of the Roman Catholic Church,
Benny the Rat begged forgiveness on Friday, saying
the church would do “everything possible”
to prevent priests from abusing children.
“We, too, insistently beg forgiveness from God
and from the persons involved, while promising to do
everything possible to ensure that such abuse
will never occur again,” Benedict told thousands of priests
and faithful gathered in Saint Peter’s Square
for celebrations marking the end of the Vatican’s Year of the Priest.
The pope’s remarks did not substantively go beyond
what he had already said in a letter to Irish Catholics
in March and in a private meeting with victims
of sex abuse on Malta in April, but it was the first time Benny
had mentioned the crisis from Saint Peter’s Basilica,
the heart of the church itself, and on an occasion focused on priests.
“In this very year of joy for the sacrament of
the priesthood, the sins of priests came to light
— particularly the abuse of the little ones,”
the pope said.
Yeah, that would be the subject the whole world's
been talking about for a decade.
Madoff:
Sorry I stole your money
Well, then, that makes it all OK
BP: Sorry
we destroyed the Gulf
Well, then, that makes it all OK
Roethlisberger:
Sorry I raped that girl
Well, then, that makes it all OK
OJ: Sorry
I cut Nicole's head off
Well, then, that makes it all OK
Eldrick:
Sorry I had 121 affairs
Well, then, that makes it all OK
Vitter:
Sorry I masturbate into diapers
Well, then, that makes it all OK
Does saying "Sorry" mean anything?
