Because the comedienne Roseanne Barr cannot reserve all of her blog hatred for the Mormons, she’s found a new target: The Catholic Church. Get ’em girl:
“the pedo priests are trying to cover up the number of LITTLE GIRLS they have molested too, as if that doesn’t matter as much as what happens to boys. Trust me, the number of girls raped and molested by priests is at least double the boys. They are trying to cover it all up so that they can end up purging gay priests, and laying the blame on them. The fact is pedos like to rape both boys and girls, and only a small number of pedos are exclusively into male children. I am starting to think that any parent who takes their kids to catholic churches from now on should lose custody. Taking your kid where you know sex offenders hang out is inexcusable!!!”
Okay, but that also means no more Starbucks, public pools, or Walmart either.

I think she is on to the church’s strategy. If they can pretend that this is a problem because gays are sick sex offenders, and that their only mistake was in not figuring out a way to screen out “The Gays”, then they think they can be forgiven. The fact of the matter is, if you look at the scandal in places like IReland where girls put into homes for unwed mothers, and girls raised in Catholic ophanages have reported HORRIFIC abuses, in fact one of the best sellers in Ireland right now is the story of a girl trapped in an unimaginably abusive Catholic home for teen girls. Or go look at a typical story like this..

The thing is, the press in the U.S. doesn’t report the Priestly rapes against girls as much because it isn’t as salacious, but it’s common and Roseanne has really nailed them on their strategy to pretend that it doesn’t happen.

@Cam: Care to share the name of the book retelling the story of the girl who suffered under the catholic church.
I love Roseanne!!!

I’m still laboring to forgive her for inflicting Tom Arnold on the American public, who’s about as funny as a bone marrow extraction.
Bill Perdue
Took her long enough.

I have to applaud anyone who has the courage to speak out against the Catholic church. No, I support no organized religion, I think they all do more harm than good, but the catholics win hands down in terms of lies, bigotry and corruption.

Go Roseanne! We should applaud those who terrorize the terrorist organisations known as “regions!”
Jason
Rosie Rocks!

We should encourage a group of large women terrorizing different religiouos groups.
As Roseanne did with Catholic Church, maybe Dawn Frecnh would like to take the offensive against Mormon-LDS Church…
Miss Understood
Good for her. Most Hollywood people are too afraid of offending people. She says it like is.

Roseanne is disgusting vile woman that needs to learn more about Catholicism before opening her mouth! Pedophiles are in everywhere just not in the Catholic Church. It is very easy to hit the Church and for that matter Jesus. No one is asking her to be Catholic or to judge them. Roseanne is not only offensive but has nothing to do to be a Queerty. Shame on Roseanne and Queerty for this garbage!
Scot
It must be tough to be a catholick these days. Seems like you can’t be honest with yourself AND be honest about your religion at the same time. Only a hypocrate can say they believe some parts of the bible while doubting other parts.
Frankly, I have a hard time believing yesterday’s newspaper, much less a book that was written when the world was flat!

Yeah, you’re right, she is MUCH worse than an organization that seems to have spent the last 100 years or so fucking little boys and girls, keeping young girls in Ireland trapped in the Magelene Laundries, forced to provide slave labor while they were horrifically abused, Hiding priests from the law, and when finally caught trying to blame the abusers or the people that are pointing out that what they are doing is wrong.
Yes, you’re right, institutionally protected rape and torture are MUCH less bad than somebody pointing it out. Shame on her.

What no one seems to realize is that Roseannes claim that “the fact is pedos like to rape both boys and girls, and only a small number of pedos are exclusively into male children” is just her blowing foul wind out of her foul mouth. Most pedophiles have a preference for one or the other, and there is a large percentage of pedophiles who are only interested in boys. A smaller number of pedophiles are interested in whatever they can get their hands on. Also, no one is seeing the bullshit in her claim “Trust me, the number of girls raped and molested by priests is at least double the boys.” is also complete “imagination” on Roseannes part, I’d like to get some references for that one. Priests have access to boys, that is why homosexual pedophiles are attracted to the priesthood.
Roseanne is the worlds largest blow-hard. And I’d like to know what “psychic” abilities she thinks she had to know what caused Marie’s son to commit suicide. I know she believes she is psychic, but she is also certified insane, just like the vast majority of those who believe they are psychic.
She really is a hate filled person and anyone who has been on her website and has seen all of the HORRIBLE hateful things she says knows this is a fact.
