*turning green and throwing up*

Maybe this unworthy Globe piece is better off in the toxic waste threat.
In any case: it's what's expected of them. It must be wonderful so be so predictable! [SM=g7707] [SM=g1782470]




I decided to post it here - though entirely in purple (if gangrene-green were not visually offensive, it would have been my color choice from the start for all such sick invective) - because the Boston Globe did break open the US sex-abuse scandal a decade ago, and yet, today, it seems to ignore completely how much the Vatican and the US Church did afterwards in response to the situation they made public.

Unfortunately, predictable repetition is one of the easiest tools that propagandists can use, because although 'you cannot fool all of the people all of the time', it is equally true that if you repeat a lie often enough, it comes to be perceived as truth!

The Globe editorial is also emblematic of all the armchair Popes like John Allen and Marco Politi, who have no scruples about preaching to the Pope or talking down to him as if he were an ignorant schoolboy who stubbornly makes the same mistakes over and over - it is not just ignoring his exceptional intellectual and moral authority, it is failing to even respect that he is an intelligent adult!
