Newsweek's cover this week has a large picture of the Virgin with the title "What Would Mary Do?"
As I walked by the magazine stand in the grocery store and blurted out "She wouldn't be molesting children, DUH."
The most disgusting thing I've heard regarding this whole scandal is not once, but twice somebody in the media alluded to the fact that while yes, this is all tragic, we must bear in mind that the majority of the kids affected when not children, but post-pubescent boys. One of the people saying this was some conservative pundit, the other directly involved in the Catholic Church. That they would even bring this up (ostensibly in the name of "facts" but in reality an attempt to mitigate the damage somewhat) was beyond the pale.
