Nearly every day since the end of January, people have come forward to report cases of sexual abuse by Catholic priests in Germany. News reports put the number of cases at about 150.

150… and it sounds like the investigation just got rolling. Surprised? Right.

I wonder how bad it has to get. Seriously: if what’s going on in the Catholic church was business as usual in my neighbourhood, I’d move. And furthermore, what is it about the Catholic church that attracts so many of these creeps? I know of no other religious organization that is so teeming with child molesters and their apologists.
