From the article:
Victims of clerical sex abuse have reacted furiously to Pope Benedict's claim yesterday that paedophilia wasn't considered an "absolute evil" as recently as the 1970s.
In his traditional Christmas address yesterday to cardinals and officials working in Rome, Pope Benedict XVI also claimed that child pornography was increasingly considered "normal" by society.
"In the 1970s, paedophilia was theorised as something fully in conformity with man and even with children," the Pope said.
"It was maintained - even within the realm of Catholic theology - that there is no such thing as evil in itself or good in itself. There is only a 'better than' and a 'worse than'. Nothing is good or bad in itself."
Is this The Onion?

From what I have read the Catholic Church has been compromised. If so this is BAD because religion is one of the greatest weapons against this satanic bullshit.

It's always funny when I see right-wing Christians bickering and making all these distinctions between Catholics, Protestants and even Eastern Orthodox.
To liberals/leftists and even many centrists, they see all these denominations as simply different flavors of the same turd sandwich lmfao!
They already assume that the average priest/pastor is a molester.
