This is now a very long article that needs to be sorted, material form two separate articles needs to be integrated. I've got an excuse, it's late in the evening here. Can Americans do anything? Proxima Centauri (talk) 19:49, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

No, American's are hopeless fuckups who can't write a damn. Try asking a Canadian. I hear they're experts at discussing the nuances of people who abuse their power to fuck children. Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope 01:52, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Rename

Just making a suggestion for comment. The article should be renamed Priest molestation or maybe Child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, not Priest molestation "scandal". Scandal is a somewhat loaded term, and IMO because of its use also for celebrity gossip minimizes the issue. It isn't a scandal, it's child abuse and rape. Discuss.

Seconded. Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope 18:21, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Thirded. I prefer the latter name. The current name presses my grammar buttons anyway, "priest molestation" suggests it's the priest who are being molested. SophieWilder 18:33, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Done. Proxima Centauri (talk) 18:36, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Leave it to Proxima to pick to longest name possible. Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope 19:37, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
LOL, but the name works for me. Glad you all agreed about the name change. One thing that irks me is when I see "scandal" used to refer to such things as child molestation by priests, the Penn State "scandal", or the Abu Ghraib "scandal". Scandals are celebreties caught having affairs, the sort of stuff the National Enquirer covers. Secret Squirrel (talk) 21:30, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
