Pope: Internet alienates everybody except pedophile priests

Ah, Benny Boy, what superb timing you have. The day before you issued your warning to today's youth about the alienating effects of technology and the Internet, one of your priests was arrested for having 21,000 child sex abuse images on his computer.

Leave it to Gentle Ben to condemn harmless iPod owners and Internet surfers for the specks in their eyes while ignoring the beam in his Church's eye: ordained sex predators on every continent where the Church operates.

If the Catholic Church had any sense they'd put this mean old fogey of a pope into the old priests' home, before he manages to alienate even more people than the Internet which he despises.

P.S. -- Hey, kids, don't forget to get your daily dose of "disorientation" on the Internet at: http://www.vatican.va/phome_en.htm. They even have a special section: "Abuse of Minors. The Church's Response." As per usual, the Holy See is working overtime issuing speeches, pastoral letters, communiques, and press releases to resolve this grave social ill that it created. (Pssst! Yo, Vatican! You might want to try to do something to stop all your priests screwing little kids though! Just a thought.)
