I gotta say, I'm with SNL on this one. Davidson is right. If anything, the Catholic Church scandal is worse because it went on for so long, involved so many more children, and there were so many more adults involved in the cover-up.

quote:

Catholic officials in Brooklyn are seething about Pete Davidson’s comments this weekend on Saturday Night Live comparing the church’s sex abuse scandals with the allegations against R. Kelly. The Diocese of Brooklyn posted a statement on its website Monday, demanding SNL apologize for what it called a “disgraceful and offensive skit.”

On Saturday night, Davidson drew parallels between clergy abuse and the 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse against Kelly.

“This guy is a monster and he should go to jail forever,” Davidson said about Kelly during the “Weekend Update” segment. “But if you support the Catholic church, isn’t that like the same thing as being an R. Kelly fan? I don’t really see the difference, except for one’s music is significantly better.”

Nothing should be done obviously but that doesn’t change the fact that outrage culture is a bit one sided and very selective. These same people saying that he can say whatever he wants because he’s right will get a man fired for saying that a transgendered person is mentally ill.

That’s a fun fact if you’re some sort of half-mad brainless lizard, good buddy.

He’s dating Kate Beckinsale???? I don’t know how to feel right now. Part of me is like “how the frick” and the other part is like “props bruh”. Somebody should be apologizing for that

So sick of everyone demanding apologies and the outrage.

Who gives a shite

It was a joke. let it go and move on.

If you didn't want to be offended... how about not letting known and widespread child abuse go on for decades.

Poor Pete Davidson--he is one disturbed individual, and he deserves all of the pity that we can muster. Davidson's comments were alarmingly ignorant and bigoted, as is this post.

“But if you support the Catholic church, isn’t that like the same thing as being an R. Kelly fan?" The implication is that there are legions of Catholics who are so blinded by their loyalty to the Catholic Church that they accept and defend the horrendous actions of priests and bishops in the church abuse scandals. In fact there are no Catholics who support the clergy abuse and the cover-up by the church hierarchy. There are Catholics who have a strong Catholic faith who continue to attend Mass and participate in Church activities and who condemn the actions of priests and bishops. But unlike individuals who are blinded by their support for R. Kelly (to the point of defending his indefensible actions), there are no Catholics who are not outraged by the actions of priests and bishops. To compare faithful Catholics--who are as outraged as everyone else by the failures of priests and bishops to address sexual abuse and who support serious legal sanctions against the perpetrators of this abuse and the resulting cover-up--to apologists of R. Kelly is outrageous. There are no Catholic Church apologists defending the indefensible actions of offending Catholic clergy.

It’s a poor analogy because it compares the actual perpetrator to an organization.

Comparing RK to an actual molesting priest makes more sense.

Until the Catholic Church kicks out all the figs and pedos (I repeat myself) instead of just moving them somewhere else where they can rape a fresh batch of kids, then they should just shut-up and take their licks.

No. Like the R Kelly fans they pretend it didn't happen or really isn't as bad as it looks.

SNL needs to apologize for Pete Davidson defiling Kate Beckinsale.

Maybe so, but the CC has been complicit, negligent, obstructionist (fill in any other terrible role they've played in all of it). I agree until they get their shite in order they don't have much room to talk

That was condemnation and outrage

Tell me, what have these deeply religious Catholics done to correct their church?

Nothing, because the Catholic Church doesn’t accept correction from the flock. You’ve got an organization that gives refuge to pedophiles, denies atrocities, and actively covers up incidents and has, now, a decades long track record of doing so.

So you tell me. How can a Christian of conscience stand to walk into a building of an orginization that covers up grown men arse fricking little boys? That pays out hush money.

Don’t deflect. Don’t point at Islam and talk about Mohammad. Or Baptists or anyone else.if your a Catholic and you don’t have a crisis of faith, then you’re really not much of a Christian.

And yet you’re on the side of people who want to import even less tolerant religious zealots by the thousands because they vote a certain way. Give me a fricking break with your hypocrisy.

how about catholic leaders get rid of pervy priests? And then apologize to their victims and stop trying to cover it up?

Yeah, they won't do that, so frick'EM. Pedophiles should be executed, and the church should close down. They can reopen it once they make amends.

Anti- Christian. The left does not care. In fat, it’s encouraged. Go kill yourself, Pete. “Now wait a minute, that’s just down right offensive bullying.” /thread
