Penn and Teller - The Vatican (Full Episode)

Once again being raised a Catholic, and in Rome no less, I found this epsiode very close to my heart. It's been obvious in my choice of P&T episodes that I feel very strongly about religion seeping across the division between church and state in the US, and I feel just as strongly when it happens in any other country. Of course they couldn't address even a fraction of what the vatican has to answer for, but nonetheless one of the best penn and teller episodes ever :)

What Penn and Teller don't tell you is that you're actually 100 times more likely to be molested by a teacher than a priest.

They also don't tell you that Catholics don't believe the pope is sinless or that during the Middle Ages many scientific advancements were actually sponsored by the Vatican, not the opposite.

@ErichoTTA Giordano Bruno and Galileo Galilei beg to differ

[ErichoTTA]

@CrystalEye736 It's under Wikipedia's "List of common misconceptions". Go blame Jimmy Wales.

[CrystalEye736]

@ErichoTTA Giordano Bruno is on wikipedia too. Go ahead and read what the Vatican did to him for pursuing science and mathematics. Galileo got of easy compared to him, managed to save his own life by convincing the holy see that he didn't believe in any of the scientific discoveries he made, but go ahead and read up on him too.

Tax the churches and arrest the pope for crimes against humanity.

[Ignorantf00l]

@Michael500ca Lol, taxing them. If only in my country the government would STOP FOUNDING THEM!!!

@floresebu Right because Islam has never been responsible for the death of homosexuals, unbelievers and the brutal subjugation of women.

Thats why there is no BS show about Islam, because islamic countries have none of that stuff going on?

@floresebu should read the Church fucks little boys and tells women not to use birth control.......................­....

[floresebu]

@Xollob2 If there is any institution on this planet that deserves hate speech it is the Vaticon.....Fuck the Nazi pope and the pedophile protecting hierarchy ... and fuck Rick Santorum.......FUCK LITTLE BOYS AND TELL WOMEN NOT TO USE BIRTH CONTROL....Shut down the Vatican.....

[floresebu]

In the defense of those catholic priests............A lot of those altar boys, especially here in Italy, ARE HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTTTT

[rokas1899]

@ErichoTTA the fact that there is even a very little chance of being molested by priest means church is useless because it can't hold moral authority

[crispmom]

Love Sabina. She has some major cahones.

@ErichoTTA

Idiot.

@Andy97009814 Thanks, I have seen that one. Christopher Hitchins does a good job sharing his feelings. Another interesting item is a u tube “ Shaming Mother Teresa – India “ There are no laughs in this one, has one part where a sister burns four little girls with a hot knife blade. Very upsetting. Thanks.

[Andy97009814]

@Xollob2 The reason she was included in the show was not to show her criticism against the pope, it was to show the Vatican's reaction to her criticism.

@dalecs47 P&T has an episode on MT too, it's called "Holier than thou." You should check it out!
