Catholic priests in Poland have burned books that they say are “sacrilegious”, including books from the Harry Potter series. According to the BBC, an evangelical group called “SMS from Heaven Foundation” (yes, that is their actual name) posted on their Facebook page, showing a pile of books in a fire pit, and then the books […] More

The Catholic Church knowingly hid predator priests in Latino communities in L.A.

Dan Broadbent November 9, 2018, 9:10 pm

As I’ve written before, there seems to be almost no end to the horror that is the Catholic Church. It’s time to quit the Catholic Church. We had the predator priests in Pennsylvania who ran a child pornography ring. Then there was the cover-up and minimization. There was even the story of how Pope Francis, […] More

Dan Broadbent October 5, 2018, 11:01 am

Fans of the blog will remember Bill Donohue, who is the president of the Catholic League. Not too long ago, when news of the 300+ Pennsylvania predator priests broke, Donohue decided that it was necessary for him to come out and explain that not all of the 1000+ child victims in the Pennsylvania grand jury’s […] More

Amid calls for his resignation over a report that church leaders in Pennsylvania covered up sexual abuse by priests, Bishop David Zubik tells @gstephanopoulos the diocese listened to victims "carefully," and "removed priests from ministry" https://t.co/iYl1gIZuJM #ThisWeek pic.twitter.com/eVux8V9VoR

David Zubik, bishop of the Pittsburgh Diocese where priests ran a child pornography ring and coached one another to target children to molest, released a letter asking for followers to pray for the priests and to pray for the Catholic Church.

The Catholic Church Ran a Child Pornography Ring in Pittsburgh

A Science Enthusiast August 16, 2020, 2:49 pm

It's strange to hear the deafening silence from the #BoycottTarget crowd regarding the Catholic Church.

It's almost as if they weren't actually concerned about kids getting sexually abused in the first place.
— Dan Broadbent (@aSciEnthusiast) August 15, 2018

It’s time to cancel the Catholic Church. Earlier this week, a two year grand jury investigation in Pennsylvania found that over 300 Catholic priests sexually abused over 1000 children, and leadership within the church made the decision to cover it up and lie about it for decades. And that’s just in Pennsylvania. The Catholic Church […] More

Archbishop says he ‘wasn’t sure if it was a crime for priests to rape children’

A Science Enthusiast August 16, 2020, 2:49 pm

You read the headline correctly and no, unfortunately, this is not satire. The former chancellor of the St. Paul and Minneapolis archdiocese, Robert Carlson, said under oath that he “wasn’t sure if he knew that it was illegal for priests to have sex with children.” This comes after he admitted to protecting predator priests when […] More

Catholics just made their own ‘Pokemon Go’ where you collect saints

Dan Broadbent October 26, 2018, 10:58 pm

Jesus Christ. That was my first thought when my wife told me about “Follow JC Go!”. which is a Christian version of Pokemon Go. Which, I have to reiterate because I know I often post satirical memes and articles, is a completely real thing that actually exists. Order our all-over print Catstronaut shirt now from […] More
