Trevor Noah: Catholic Church is a "molesting club with an opening prayer"

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

This latest Pennsylvania scandal is goddamn disgusting: among others it talks of a boy being sodomized with a crucifix while being tied in a "prayer position" in the confessional and girls having their mouths routinely washed out with holy water after oral sex, which sound like the imagery used in a really heavy handed anti-religious diatrabe. There's also the reports of vulnerable (i.e. previously groomed) kids being given special cross necklaces to indicate to other predator priests they were "easy", a known child molester being given a positive recommendation for Disneyworld after leaving the clergy, child porn rings where boys were made to take nude pictures upon a crucifix as a "reference for a new religious statue", a girl of 18 months (!!!) being raped, a priest grooming children by claiming the Virgin Mary had to kick Baby Jesus clean and cut the cord, a priest raping every single girl in a single family and an endless amount of manipulation, guilt-tripping, physical abuse and the weaponisation of religious doctrine and ritual. And the horrifying thing is none of these men can be charged because for some dumb reason child abuse is covered by the statute of limitations. I hope every diocese involved is forced into bankruptcy, and every single person named as being complict excommunicated ten times over.

Also it's pretty bizarre how the conservatives in the Church seem to be mainly agitated about the homosexual nature of much of the crimes, rather than um, the fact it was children being raped? I guess if it was mostly little girls being attacked that would be ok for these dinosaurs?

Maybe priests should consent to be chemically castrated alongside the vow of celibacy? They're already foresaking sex, might as well remove the libido along with it, and the Church will bring back the sound of the castrati for the real traditionalists to enjoy.

(Or they could include women, but whatever)

Keep in mind that I'm not a theologian, but I think that allowing female priests would be a better response; and be practically easier. Not that nuns have exactly covered themselves in glory, but women tend to have lower sex drives and aren't as represented in sex crime statistics as men are.

Does anybody know the exact theological justification against female priests?
