Vatican says gays are undeserving of basic human rights.

abused by a school employee

Can you please identify, specifically, which pedophile priest was protected by the limelight and which pedophile priest was fixing the problem?

You want the bishops. One of the bishops who was fixing the problem was Benedict when he was with the congregation of doctrine and faith.

As for the bishops involved in the scandal, I'll wait till they are all gone.

This phrase does not exist in the document. And is notable for not having any real numbers at all.

Truth is difficult to admit Asher.

[Felch]

Yep... I want the government protecting human rights as well... like the rights of women. Or do they not count in your book...

So you accept that this isn't about religion, but human rights? Great. Now we just have to balance the rights of women with the rights of fetal humans. Obviously there's a conflict, so a compromise has to be found.

I want anyone who molested children, covered up the molesting of children, enabled the molesting of children, or defended the molesting of children. You are guilty of at least one of those.

You're lying, Ben. I did a CTRL-F in the document, searching for anything close to that. I even looked at the six times they mentioned "priest" in there, which contained no numbers or anything close to supporting your comment.

That's probably a bannable offense without proof.

Where's your proof Asher?

The only "bannable" offense on Apolyton is posting pictures of dickgirls.

As well it should be.

[Hauldren Collider]

BS... I know biologists that would argue that a fetus is not a human being... they would call it what it is... a fetus.

Is a kangaroo joey a kangaroo or not? Is a tadpole the same species as a frog? Is a caterpillar the same species as a butterfly? Jesus christ, Ming.

[Hauldren Collider]

Interesting. Well, most abortions occur early in the pregnancy.

Only because late pregnancy abortions have been banned.

Yes, of course they are but they are also fully formed and capable of basic biological functions on their own (breathing, eating, ****ting, etc...). The same cannot be said of a zygote or even an early stage fetus so they are no more alive than the human skin cells you wash off of your hands every day or lump of cancer cells a doctor removes from a patient.

[Hauldren Collider]

By the way, for those going on about how you're not "killing" a fetus when you have an abortion, and that the fetus is a "parasite", the kangaroo joey is a perfect analogy to explain why simply leaving the uterus is not a useful distinction between "life" and "not a life".

[Hauldren Collider]

nvm

[giblets]

Only because late pregnancy abortions have been banned.

So why are people getting so worked up over this? Oh that's right, cell clumps can still be flushed. I'm supposed to care about what happens to them or something.

[giblets]

Kangaroo joeys are parasites and it's okay to kill them.

The embryonic and fetal stages of life are part of human development. A fetus is still human, it's just not fully grown yet. Ming's insane claim was that a fetus is a woman's body part and not a distinct human organism.
