Comments on: Is ordaining a woman worse than child sex abuse? http://www.atheist.ie/2010/07/is-ordaining-a-woman-worse-than-child-sex-abuse/ Building a rational, ethical and secular society free from superstition and supernaturalism Sat, 04 Feb 2012 00:02:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: James Smith http://www.atheist.ie/2010/07/is-ordaining-a-woman-worse-than-child-sex-abuse/comment-page-1/#comment-14094 James Smith Mon, 11 Oct 2010 12:33:32 +0000 http://www.atheist.ie/?p=649#comment-14094 Why should we be surprised? To the vatican, maintaining the catholic system of lies, instilling fear and guilt, while discriminating against women is far more important than something minor like removing child-abusing priests from the populace. If I were a pedophile, I would go into the priesthood where I would be protected and supplied with victims. Wait, someone has already thought of that, haven't they? Why should we be surprised?

See also the excellent book <em>Godless Morality</em> by Richard Holloway.
