Moral Authority

The paper this morning was a cheery thing. Just chock-o-block full of stories of pedophiles protected and sheltered by the Church, a Priest accused of being a member of sex ring which exploited women and children and who later murdered a nun in a particularly horrible way, and the Vatican continuing to oppose condom use even in the face of AIDS.

And these are the people who think they have the moral authority to tell us how to live our lives.

Come again?

That’s like Ken Starr lecturing on judicial ethics.
