More Cringe-Inducing Sound Bites From the Catholic Church

I do not know who runs the Catholic Church's PR, but they need to be replaced immediately.  The Church is facing a massive, worldwide scandal involving the sexual molestation of children and all its leaders can do in the form of an apology is single out one country (because of a government report) and apologize to them with no disciplinary action taken against those involved.

But it would not be as bad if it were just this psuedo-apology.  Instead, the Church has done everything it can to make itself look like the victim.  Never mind the institutional sexual abuse of minors and the ensuing cover-ups; it is the Catholic Church that is the victim, according to its leaders.  They compared themselves to Jews during the Holocaust.  They said legitimate criticisms of the way they mishandled sexual abuse allegations was "petty gossip."  Now, in an effort to distract criticisms of its practices, they are blaming homosexuality on the unfathomable abuses.
