Aye. I remember it being big news worldwide that she tore up a picture of the pope. It was only decades later that I found out it was to protest molestations.

    I remember it well and pretty much everyone at the time was baffled because the scandal just wasn't that well-known outside of specific Catholic circles yet. Which just gave priests more time and more coverage until it actually started coming out in a big way a few years ago. It should have started the ball rolling then and there, but ripping up a picture of the pope and saying, "fight the real enemy" without giving context did not help the case.

    The Catholic Church is a criminal organization, and I mean what I say. Its high-ranking officials should be on trial.

    She was ahead of the curve. Every pope is a bastard including the current, Pope "Molesty-up-cover" Francis.

    True. One of the last ones were in Hitler Jugend but let's forgive and forget simple wrongdoings like being pro Nazi or raping children

    No, honestly, as much as I dislike every Pope, that one wasn't his fault.

    Hitler Youth was not optional, and they absolutely hurt and abused children under their care. I know because I know someone who was forced into that situation and suffers lasting trauma from it.
