While the whole "we heard a rumor about priests molesting children" meeting at the Vatican thing was going on, there was a news show with a sort of collage of what was happening.
One of the news bytes was a priest (cardinal? IDK) saying "We definitely must keep homosexuals out of the priesthood." And I thought, "yeah, and you might want to keep out pedophiles, too."
I was amazed that the stereotype about gay men was still alive and well. I thought it had already been quite publicly debunked years ago.
Anyone know if the Catholic church decided to do anything about priests who molest children other than ship them to different places? I only heard they decided something *should* be done.
