I've thought for a long time that the Catholic Church should be prosecuted in the United States under the RICO (racketeering and corrupt organisation laws). I'll believe the church and the Pope are serious about this stuff when they send Cardinal Bernard Law (yep, that's really his name) back to Boston from his safe hideout in the Vatican. It's too bad, though, that the people getting attention for this idea are such rabid anti-religionists. This shouldn't be a matter of religious beliefs — crimes have been committed, covered up, and facilitated, and those involved should be prosecuted. The atheism issue is a distraction. A lot of Catholics have been motivated by their faith to help feed the poor, shelter the homeless, and protect the vulnerable, and many Catholics have given their lives in such causes, especially in Latin America. I'm not opposed to all Catholics. The real issue here is pedophilia. I agree.
