I didn't say if a rape victim isn't covered in bruses they must have wanted it.

Cops beat prisoners hard core with a phone book because it doesn't leave bruises.....

Any adult who allows that to happen to them, and doesn't have significant unexplained bruises and/or scratches that would be easily explained to the authorities wanted it.


Buuuut... I'm willing to concede that maybe you didn't mean that, and you were just talking without consideration for the ramifications. It happens sometimes.

I'm also willing to overlook recently introduced questions about how you define "consensual" in the interests of moving this along already.

"Don't be stupid....

I'm saying that no adult goes to church and gets raped by a priest...."

Not even if they’re, say, locked in the room? Threatened? Very small or weak compared to the priest? The factors that go into one adult raping another go into an adult priest raping an adult ... along with the threat they will never be believed, the possibility that they're young, naive, confused, and tend to follow authority, or that they've been groomed over time.

Pope Benedict Comes Out as Gay

Pope Benedict XVI announced today that he has resigned his papacy because he is gay and "could no longer live a lie."

In a statement released to Italian news media the 85-year-old departing pontiff says he is relieved to be coming out after eight decades in the closet and urged the Catholic Church and other faiths to accept homosexuality as a natural part of God's creation.

"Like many gay Catholics, I have been forced for too long to choose between my faith and my identity," the statement reads. "My profound love for my beloved church compelled me to lie to myself and to my fellow believers about a basic component of my humanity.

"I deeply regret that deception. I have not been honest with the Church, and for that reason I decided that I could not continue my role as leader of the world's one billion Catholics.

"Now that I have been liberated of this secret, I wish to express my belief that homosexuals are equal in the eyes of God. I beseech the Catholic Church to reconsider its ban on gay clergy and become a leading force in the struggle for gay rights."

Gay the Pray Away
Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation on Feb. 11, becoming the first pontiff since the Middle Ages to resign his post. His stated reason was to retire before the ravages of old age left him unable to complete his duties.

Yet rumors have been swirling in Rome since the announcement that the decision instead had something to do with homosexuality at the Church's highest levels.

There have been newspaper reports of a secret "gay conclave" within the Vatican that visited local prostitutes and was thereafter blackmailed.

But there has been no indication that the scandal touched the pope himself, and today's news has come as a surprise to most following the story.

Benedict resigns his papacy today, and will technically cease his duties as pope at 8 p.m. Central European Time. It had been anticipated that he would continue on as a "Pope Emeritus," but given the Church's ban on homosexuality his future role is now unclear.

Say it Ain't So Joe
Reaction to the Pope's statement has ranged from shock to excitement to despair. Some conservative figures in the Catholic Church have even expressed outrage at the move, suggesting Benedict should have remained in the closet.

"Look everyone knows that the only people who sign up for a lifetime of living in all-male dormitories with no possibility of marriage are gay men," says Phyllis Gates, a conservative Catholic blogger. "But why did he have to actually say it? Denial was working so well for us."

However for Rick Santorum, one of America's most prominent anti-gay Catholic politicians, denial is still alive and well.

"I don't believe him," Santorum says from his home in Washington, D.C. "Homosexual activists have clearly compromised Pope Benedict through blackmail or brainwashing or some sort of queer subterfuge.

"He's not gay. He can't be gay. That's just not possible. He's just pretending for some reason. And it's my job to figure out what that reason is."

Pride and Joy
While Santorum is looking for evidence of a gay conspiracy, however, LGBT activists are celebrating the Pope's pro-gay rights message.

"It's heartening to see a leading person in the Catholic Church finally take a stand for equality," says Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign. "The church has hitherto been one of the most powerful anti-gay rights organizations in the world.

"Although it's a shame that he was forced out because of his orientation, and of course the rampant pedophilia, we're all hoping that Pope Benedict's words of tolerance will resonate with people of faith around the world."

Gay Catholic blogger Andrew Sullivan, who speculated

I'll give you that 1kiki.....

I'm no "Arnold" in his glory years, but nobody f'ks wit me either.

Every priest I've ever seen, (God forgive me), I could beat the shit out of....

I'm no Henry Rollins in his hey-day either, but even though he's got nearly 15 years on me, I wouldn't feel too bad about my chances in a 6 minute boxing match with him after seeing him most recently on Sons of Anarchy.





And about the "young and naive thing".....

I guess it's a good thing that I never joined the boyscouts, I only went to church on Christmas and Easter and my Wrestling coaches in HS were straight as an arrow.....

I've exponentially gotten smarter since I was 10. Even more when I was a freshman at 13.....

Not that I'm really worried about my past if I had to do it over.....

Any dick stuck in this mouth would have been bitten off like Mike Tyson bites ears off.

Actually, I'm really glad that neither of my parents bothered to pretend they were "religious" all of those years they blazed through the 10 commandments....

I find it funny that they both look into it now... but to each their own....



All I can say is that nobody ever got taken advantage on my watch.... My brothers or my friends.

I've never had a "record" but I would put-a-preist-down if I had proof of that going on anywhere around me.
