Among churches before they end up in the Vatican or a nice retirement home.

Vatican members who have covered for pedophile priests. A hint. Step 1 is to turn themselves and anyone else complicit into law enforcement. Step 12 is to get a new Pope.

| 8. I wonder if AA and its sister organizations have any say in that? |

They guard the 12 steps pretty zealously. The diocese might wind up being sued for copyright violations.

| 11. AKA: recruiting program. |

:wtf:
:puke:
As a someone who has been involved with REAL 12 Step programs for many years,
and who is a member of PFlag
I find this the most nausea inducing thing I have seen since Palin hit the public airwaves.
Does the irony really escape the Church?
ok, how about the insult?
:argh:

| 12. Homosexuals don't sexually abuse children .... Catholic priests do ... something wrong here? |

Edited on Thu Jan-20-11 10:39 PM by defendandprotect
Hetereosexual males are 100X more likely to sexually abuse children than
homosexual males --
Think they need a 12 Step Program for their own priests?
