Wall Street Journal - Cardinal Bernard Law, Disgraced in Sex-Abuse Scandal, Dies at 86
"Newspaper reports that year revealed dozens of cases in which archdiocesan officials had failed to report priests accused of child abuse to the police and had instead reassigned them to other parishes where they continued to sexually abuse minors."
"The following year, the Archdiocese of Boston reached an $85-million, out-of-court settlement with sex-abuse plaintiffs, the largest publicly disclosed settlement by an archdiocese or diocese for sex-abuse litigation up to that time."
I don't understand why Catholics continue to donate their hard-earned money to the extremely wealthy Vatican. Maybe it's because they're just plain fucking stupid.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
