Finger on the moral pulse?


Amazingly there's a story in the paper today about yet another sex scandal in the Catholic church, I'm beginning to think that masochism is an official Catholic dogma? According to the Guardian  a chorister in Pope Benedict's household was sacked for allegedly procuring male prostitutes for a papal gentleman-in-waiting. Angelo Balducci, "a Gentleman of His Holiness" seems to be somewhat of a problem child, aside from being a senior advisor and having wide ranging responsibilities for directing public works (corruptly if accusations are true) he was caught on a police wire tap negotiating with chorister Thomas Chinedu Ehiem regarding the physical attributes of a man to be procured for an encounter of a sexual nature.

Watching the Catholic church is like watching a car crash in slow motion, things wouldn't be so bad if they relinquished the hold they claim to have over the moral leadership of man-kind, its too obvious that it simply ain't so.
