Unthinkable!

So I'm watching the shows I taped for myself last night (Simpsons, Family Guy, etc) and one of those teasers for the news comes on and it's talking about a local church's choir leader molesting little boys and girls and the newscaster says, "Church leader does the unthinkable."

Folks, if you still think a church leader molesting little kids is "unthinkable", then you really need to come out from under that rock.

Incidently, if Catholic Heaven is the way it was portrayed on the Simpsons, I'm converting. :D

I think what they meant it is 'unthinkable' in the sense that this man is a man of God, and for him to do this is very, very wrong, not that they don't acknowledge that it happens quite often. A church leader is someone who is given a huge amount of trust by the community, that is why people get far more worked up when the priest is molesting little boys rather than when the dirty old neighbor does it. Did you see that episode of South Park where the priest goes to the Vatican to get the Church to stop molesting little boys? It was great!

Did they specifically say he molested someone? Maybe he climbed the Texas Observation Tower with a box o' guns, or took his Parish hostage, and or set an oil well ablaze?

Yes Catholic heaven is like it was portrayed. They didn't show the muslim heaven for PC reasons.

Is this before or after they shave. Besides with all of those "virgins", after a while it would be a hell, as I'm sure you'd want a bj with a thumb up the old highway!

how about scout leaders?
I just got one of my sons started in cub scouts. I found that now there have to be two leaders involved in the activities-not just one. I'm taking an active part and may be come a leader, but didnt want to be in a situation where I would be alone with someone else's son-and I would never have my son be a lone with another guy.
Maybe the church should take a lesson and have priests always have another priest or chaperone present.
