Jesse Ventura on Bill Maher 4/16/10 saying the Catholic Church should be prosecuted using the RICO laws set up to fight organized crime.
I’m no Catholic… but it’s time to play devil’s advocate.
It’s estimated that there are 1.2 Billion catholics in the world.
Therefore, if we are going to hold the Catholic Church responsible for the corruption and crimes of the few. Then I also choose to hold the American Government legally responsible for the corruption and crimes of the few as well.
It should be noted that after Pedophiles in America and Canada too are incarcerated, they are released, and often REOFFEND. Without the public being given any knowledge.
In other news.
176 children have been killed by drone strikes in Pakistan over the last year, and approximately 5 children PER DAY are killed by U.S. drone strikes in afghanistan (atleast we’re at war with them).
I seem to recall Osama Bin Laden held America responsible for what he viewed as the -crimes of the few-, saying it was the crimes of the whole as well.
Unless you are prepared to put America, or Canada, or an entire country on trial for independant crimes of people in authority, how can you do the same to the Catholic Church?
And let’s not even talk about the “organized” tax rackets that bilk all citizens in North America for TRILLIONS of dollars.
Putting 1.2 billion people in jail is not the answer.
