The fact it's called an institution is what's wrong about it. Child abuse could happen anywhere, but if you put in the context of a bunch of guys fighting to resist the sexual urges all their live... Well, this pretty much explains it all, as far as I am concerned.Jarek A. edytował(a) ten post dnia 30.04.10 o godzinie 19:15

I second (5th) that. Thanks, Magda. :)

1. What's your favourite shape of pasta?

Cavatappi is a brilliant manipulation of negative space. :)

2. Doing awkward things (pretending texting, burrowing in your bag

If I'm confined I just tell someone straight, no matter what or whom to shut the...up, or knock it off or whatever else. Don't do that in front of me. It's on them, and then it's up to them to deal with that, and act right.

3. Do you take care of animals living in your surrounding? (birds, cats, etc.)

I don't have a pet. I feed some birds around the house but that's so they come around for my sake. It's currently illegal to feed deer because there's a problem with Bovine tuberculosis. They're getting it from cattle. They congregate to eat what cows eat. The plan is to prevent them from gathering too much and snort germs on each other like they would if you put out piles of food for them. Big fine if you get caught.

4. What's the ugliest railway station in Poland?

The ugliest train station to a Pole's mind is still appealing to me thanks to the traveler's way of looking at things.

It does happen anywhere. But name three leaders with less charisma than this pope. He didn't start the fire but he keeps having great oportunities to make wide-angled, cross-cultural human advances.

2. Doing awkward things (pretending texting, burrowing in your bag with no purpose, playing with your hair, etc.) in awkward, embarrassing situations - WHY???
you just answered yourself- doing awkawrd things in awkward aituations. You feel embarassed hence the behaviour. Personally, I like talking to myself out loud- helps me think (esp when I'm stressed or angry) and then I use my mobile to pretend I actually talk to sb :)
3. Do you take care of animals living in your surrounding? (birds, cats, etc.)
not really

2. Doing awkward things (pretending texting, burrowing in your bag with no purpose, playing with your hair, etc.) in awkward, embarrassing situations - WHY???
If think it's a feature of the brain. Look at animals - in situations to which their brains aren't prepared they behave randomly. I guess the same applies to us more or less.
3. Do you take care of animals living in your surrounding? (birds, cats, etc.)
yeah
4. What's the ugliest railway station in Poland?
Really difficult to say. The competition would be very interesting.
5. Yet another child abuse scandal has been revealed in the Catholic Church recently. Just a coincidence ('it might have happened anywhere') or is there someting wrong with the institution itself?
Well, I think it's not the institution directly, but it's easy to notice that being a priest gives an opportunity of often uncontrolled contact with children. Unfortunately pedophiles realize it and that's why they diffuse into church structures despite of their immorality and lack of faith. Very sad, but true.

2. I think that the more we pretend we have 'things' to do, the less we feel involved in what's happening around...

3. I leave some old bread for the birds on my windowsill everyday, I occasionally feed the basement cats as well. WARNING: not to be confused with THIS Basement Cat ;)

4. My Top Five includes: Katowice, Komańcza, Warszawa Centralna, Aleksandrów Kujawski and Toruń.

5. There's something wrong with the whole idea of celibacy, I guess... Subduing and smothering human sexual drive may trigger off deviant behaviour. On the other hand, I find it an unjust generalisation - so far there's no certainty that the share of paedophiles among priests is the same or higher than in the whole male population.Magda B. edytował(a) ten post dnia 30.04.10 o godzinie 23:21

Someone who I know very well used to study to become a priest - gave up after two years as he was disgusted with the scale of different sexual preferences on the other side.

Well celibacy is no excuse. Celibacy might make someone want to have sex with another consenting adult, man or woman, but not to abuse a child.David R. edytował(a) ten post dnia 01.05.10 o godzinie 20:48

There is something deeply deeply wrong with an institution which:

- is was and has been based on power and control
- was never based on the teachings of Jesus Christ
- was behind the atrocities of the inquisition and the torture and burning of innocent people
- turned a blind eye to the atrocities of Hitler
- introduced a regime of celibacy in order to avoid having to pay for the families of dead priests
