Fallen, immoral women being punished by strict, sexually repressed nuns. Much less sexy than I anticipated.

Sinead O'Connor was subjected to a Magdalane home which probably didn't improve her view of Catholocism.

Binro the Heretic - 2014-05-03 The following week on SNL, Joe Pesci hosted. In his opening monologue, he presented the repaired picture of the Pope then said if he had been there, he would have, "snatched her by her...eyebrows," (laughs from the audience) "and gave her such a smack." (applause from the audience)
I have thought much less of him ever since.

Binro the Heretic - 2014-05-03 Doesn't alter what Pesci said. I have little use for people who threaten violence because they felt insulted.
And I was raised Catholic, so believe me when I say FUCK THE POPE AND FUCK THE CHURCH. From refusing to help Jews and Russians escape the holocaust to keeping contraceptives out of Africa to refusing to get involved in Ireland to covering up child rape to general oppression and brutality throughout the centuries, they have more than earned some scorn. And fuck anyone who says they will commit violence against those who defy or offend their religion.
Okay, Francis seems okay so far. Maybe if there had been more Popes like him, I might still be Catholic.
I said MIGHT, mind you.

baleen - 2014-05-03 My Catholic parents (my dad is a converted Jew) feel the same way I think. They look at things through a larger historical lens. I do think the Church moves far slower than we'd like. There is no shortage of condemnation of the Vatican from within. It's a pretty mixed bag as I'm sure you know. Francis does seem like what needs to happen if the Vatican is to remain relevant. Whether or not its genuine or will mark a real change only time will tell. These are the same cardinals that put a calculating businessman and former nazi in charge, so I'm as skeptical as anyone.

Gmork - 2014-05-03 Joe Pesci is a good actor(kind of) not a good person.

My mom was raised strict catholic. My best friend was raised strict catholic.
IT ALWAYS BACKFIRES. My mom went super new age and my best friend is into satanic thrash metal.

I'm more or less amazed that this wasn't on here yet.
