  And yet the catholic church still wields a huge amount of influence in Australia

  From politics, to health and education, even unions that are supposed to protect people from exploitation

  Because it’s profitable for them

  Cunts.

    Yeah, but luckily Pauleen has declared Australia a Judeo-Christian nation. So we are going to have fuckhead racist white supremacist scum acting as apologists for the churches. It’s weird how we don’t get to have personal privacy or data security in the name of protecting the children, but they won’t put churches on a watch list don’t you think?

      The irony is that she’s an atheist

      She keeps that pretty quiet, and says that “western civilisation” is based on “judeo-sky-fairy” shit, but that’s only because of her hatred of Muslims and aboriginal people

      She’s dumb as fuck, but happy to weaponise the superstition and ignorance of others if it’s convenient

      Sadly, it works

      I know an Asian Muslim immigrant, three of Poorline’s favourite hated people who still voted for her because she hates indigenous people so much

      Shit’s fucked

      I always roll my eyes when anyone talks about anything being ‘Judeo-Christian’. Show me the nearest Judeo-Christian church, bucko.

  He looks like one of the bad guys from those Dune movies in the 80s.

  There’s some irony with how the only people within that branch of the Christian faith are forbidden from marriage are the ones prolifically abusing others.

  Maybe the Roman Catholic Church should look at changing their opinion

  Only one? Pretty sure there’s a few more of 'em around.

    Most of them got away with it (died before facing justice).
    Tragically, an awful lot of their victims have also died from things like suicide and overdoses etc.

    Before we get too complacent that this is a blight only within one flavour of Christianity, it’s important to remember we had a whole royal commission into institutional child abuse that found this happening everywhere where adults had access to children. Parents are better today at being wary around who they leave their kids alone with.

    And these are just institutionalised instances. It is/was more prevalent that abuse would be from a family member/friend.
