Anderson Cooper: A Catholic Priest & His Dying Son Controversy

[TheSolaris810]

Donahue; "There are no victims here"

Says it all, doesnt it?!

What about the Son, Mr Donahue, is he not the! victim in all this?

Then again, the rights of children has a poor record ...

SNAP is a litigational organization, and they've promoted at least a few shady allegations, one of which I personally have experience with. So the woman who has consensual sex with the priest is a victim, yah. It's simply an assertion and assumption to say that the priest was using his position to romance women.

Re the priest hanging up on the CNN guy, silence to a news organization is NOT unusual.

25% of married men cheat on their wives

why do people think that priests should be 0%

[CupisHomines]

So maybe he took advantage of her, but I doubt she was totally innocent. Women are far from helpless & can be extremely evil. No. I'm not sorry for what I have to say, and I usually mean busines too. Don't like it, fuck off. Dont count on wasting my time w/ pointless insults that I wont listen to. Why's he dying? They didnt say. Poor guy. When I die, they can just let my carcass rot against the wind for all I care. Dont fuck a priest if you're gonna whine about it later. Stupid cunt

this women is a crack pot

@rcarnes1988

Wait... the comments say the woman is wrong?? Did I miss something?

[PInk77W1]

i love it how the woman has no shame of having sex with a priest. On 60minutes many years ago they had a case like this. 60minutes made the mistake of interviewing the ladys dad, who was a hardcore catholic. He said "she knows she did wrong" bingo

[Papalheart]

WOW, this is the first I have heard of this, and am scandalized by it. I love my Catholic Faith, and I respect Bill Donohue. However as a social worker, I am very aware that any person in authority, especially a priest, should NEVER take advantage of a vulnerable person, regardless of age. I will pray for Nathan, and his poor mother. I have not stopped praying for the resolution to the scandals caused by those ordained, or trusted in all aspects.

[ned262626]

@Papalheart last year 6 new cases of sex abuse in the church accused . in the public school system it was tens of thousands by public school teachers.

[gary031183]

I wish they had Christopher Hitchens on this one! He would wipe the floor with Bill Donohue....again!!!!!!!!!! FUCK RELIGION!!!!

[karlsmith00]

the fact that william donohue exists proves that there is no god. WHY IS THIS PIG ALLOWED ON TELEVISION

[redgoldbluephantom]

Barbara stated that Pat knew about the other 3 affairs the priest was involved with at the time that he was intimate with her... what does that say about Pat? It seems that everyone involved with this particular case did things that were morally inexcusable.

[tjb70]

The Church of Rome has lost whatever moral authority it may once have held! Auction off Vatican treasures to support the victims of abuse by priests!

[geryx]

Well, that's what you get for going to church.

[mintvagoo]

William Donohue is pig disgusting. He has made a career out of protecting pedophiles and rapist- in the name of Catholicism. Religion at it's finest.

[eqsmooth]

THE VATICAN/CATHOLICISM/THE CATHOLIC CHURCH are three OF THE WORST, MOST IMMORAL CREATIONS IN HUMAN HISTORY. Listen to this Catholic League sock puppet. it would be great to move everyone out of harm's way in Rome and destroy VATICAN CITY. Tear it down, let the pope, cardinals, and bishops go and watch the bricks fall. Just like the Berlin Wall. Catholicism and many other religions poison everything. Read Christopher Hitchens and weep. Stupid Catholics get duped for 2000 years. Abolish it now.

[neoursa]

CNN seems to take pride in racial religious issues. Only if the mainstream or whites are hurt.

They'd never run this if it was a rabbi or muslim.

TuckMAN pretty much pressured the one priest into his own words.

Why not run another latino story but talk about the Mex who killed a priest? That was just a couple weeks ago

[corthotube]

This guy from the Catholic league proves that the Catholic church is of the world and not of God, listen to him carefully, what he says is not of God,God tells his priest whom to marry and he never takes that away. Forbiding priest to marry is UnGodly and has led to many UnGodly results.

[rcarnes1988]

@corthotube St. Paul himself makes it clear that celibacy in Gods serves is superior state of life as he points out that: " He that is without a wife is solicitous for the things that belong to the Lord: how he may please God. But he that is with a wife is solicitous for the things of the world: how he may please his wife. And he is divided.” – Cor 7:32

[rcarnes1988]

@corthotube and again Mt 19:12 Some are incapable of marriage because they were born so; some, because they were made so by others; some, because they have renounced marriage for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Whoever can accept this ought to accept it.
