Pope Can Clean Up The Church By ExCommunicating Bill Donohue

[votesparks]

The Vatican announced this week that it was forming a committee to tackle child abuse in the Catholic church. Pope Francis states that the issue is critical in order for the Catholic church to regain lost credibility. This comes a few days after the Vatican refused a request from the UN concerning alleged abuse cases.

But while the Pope forms his committee, he might look into eliminating the attitudes of people like the Catholic League's loud spokesman Bill Donohue, who recently claimed on CNN that sexual relations between two people could not be considered an act of pedophilia, as long as both participants are "post pubescent."

2. I would laugh out loud if Bill Donohue were excommunicated. Alas, it ain't gonna happen.

I hit puberty just after my 13th birthday, which is not atypical. According to the law, anyone having sex with me at that time would be committing pedophilia. According to common sense -- something rarely displayed by Bill Donohue -- it would be pedophilia as well.

3. Due to better nutrition in part, young girls of today can begin to 'bloom' as early as 9.

What about them, pray tell? Donohue doesn't represent a healthy portion of Catholicism, to say the least.
