Holy Pimpin'
For 43 years, nuns have lived and often worked out of a small convent on Los Angeles' east side, helping the area's poor and undocumented residents with translation, counseling, and other needs. In late August 2007, the nuns received notice by mail that they needed to vacate their convent by December 31. The L.A. Archdiocese plans to sell the nun's property to help pay for a legal settlement in its priest sexual abuse case.

Wow. Let me get this straight. Women who have devoted themselves to helping the needy have to stop their good works, sell their homes, and hit the streets in order to pay for a bunch of priests that got caught playing with little boys.
Good going, Jesus. Way to keep the pimp hand strong.
As a society we have gone wrong. Very wrong. We need to make a change. I'm not talking about returning to the family values of some bygone era. I'm just talking about using a little common sense. Punishing good people for another person's bad behavior is just not right.

This is outrageous! History is full of atrocities committed by the Catholic church. Why, in this "age of enlightenment" are we still letting them get away with it?
