BBC News - Catholic Church loses child sex abuse liability appeal

A ruling that the Catholic Church can be held liable for the wrongdoings of its priests has been upheld.

Last year Mr Justice MacDuff decided in favour of a woman, now 47, who claimed she was raped and assaulted as a child by a priest of the Portsmouth Diocese.

The Court of Appeal has upheld this decision, which raises "an issue of wide general importance in respect of claims against the Catholic Church".

A diocese spokesman said the case was about "fundamental legal principles".

makes sense bouncer thanks, mainly protestants down south then, this figures and plays into my earlier point that its mainly anglo descendency down south.

By contrast you have more catholicism further north on account of irish, itallian migration

No I don't think they do bro, here's how I see it

East and north - jewish (legal, media), irish (construction), italian (food), germanic american

East South - English descendent, few hispanic, wide boy, bit gangsta, drugs, sun, beaches

Cali - cultured, balanced, beautiful, bit fake

West Coast generally, relaxed, hot, slower pace, creative

North - uptight
South - bit slower and more relaxed blueberry pie, meat eaters, religeous with a few cult followers

[Bouncer]

Not bad. Pretty accurate.

Only thing I would say is that most of.the west coast is more mild then hot. They have mild warm winters but they generally don't get as hot as other parts of the us in summer

I am in the north and I ain't uptight you fuck

Oh and south east is more then few Hispanics lol

There are many many Catholic churches around here. I never understood why they think the pope is someone special and praise him the way they do. I know what its based on from scripture as I was raised in a Christian home but it makes no sense...atleast not to me. Believe and praise God but think that has been passed down to a man??? Meh...horse shit. One thing I never understood about religion as I got older is the majority of these pastors/preachers of the gospel I feel don't really look at it from a logical point. Had they been raised in Pakistan or Iraq they would be muslim. I mean kids go with what they are raised in 9 times outta 10 and they are a product of their enviroment. All though I will say that in this day in age that is becoming less and less the case.
