Has the Pope stamped out the organizational problem of pedophilia, yet? Umm ... check back in a few years, maybe, when all these creepy hundred-year-old child diddlers have died and gone to heaven?
GENOA - The latest sex-abuse case to rock the Catholic Church is unfolding in the archdiocese of an influential Italian Cardinal who has been working with Pope Benedict XVI on reforms to respond to prior scandals of pedophile priests.
Father Riccardo Seppia, a 51-year-old parish priest in the village of Sastri Ponente, near Genoa, was arrested last Friday, May 13, on pedophilia and drug charges. Investigators say that in tapped mobile-phone conversations, Seppia asked a Moroccan drug dealer to arrange sexual encounters with young and vulnerable boys. "I do not want 16-year-old boys but younger. Fourteen-year-olds are O.K. Look for needy boys who have family issues."
Thanks (?) to "Blair M." for the priestly tip! [ CNN WorldCrunch ]
I understand there is a bill in the Kentucky legislature that would define puberty as beginning at conception!
<blockquote>I do not want 16-year-old boys but younger.</blockquote>
I believe the term in Italian is <i>al dente</i>.
