VATICAN CITY, Oct 16 (Reuters) - The Vatican's child protection commission accused senior Catholic leaders on Thursday of being too slow to help victims of sexual abuse by clergy and implement new safeguarding efforts in an unusually critical internal report on the issue.

"The Vatican’s child protection board said Thursday the Catholic Church has a moral obligation to help victims of clergy sexual abuse heal, and identified financial reparations and sanctions for abusers and their enablers as essential remedies." - Crux

It’s a simple yes or no question.

“I love Hitler” Racist texts LEAKED from young Republicans group chat.

"If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity." - Deuteronomy 25:11-12 Moses, chill bro 😅

"If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death." - Deuteronomy 22:20-21 Bruh, the Bible is kinda crazy 🥴

"A third of Americans believe Trump’s rise to power is part of God’s plan as he leans further into MAGA evangelicalism"- The Independent @the-independent.com

Homeland Security is unhinged.

Conservatives are against religious liberty. ICE is against religious liberty. MAGA is against religious liberty. It's not the gays or atheists silencing the church - it's the Republicans and Christian nationalists.

EVERY REPUBLICAN IS A HOMOSEXUAL.

The Young Republican National Federation took to X (twitter) to say that they were “appalled by the vile and inexcusable language revealed.” "The state GOP disbanded the Kansas Young Republicans after racist comments about Black people and a slur for gay people were linked to two of its members."

"Members of the group, which included people actively working with elected officials and some attempting to take leadership positions in the national Young Republican organization, were aware that if the contents of their messages were revealed they could face severe repercussions." - The Guardian

You would care if they were Democrats. Tim Pool is a total tool.

Bobby Walker, the vice chair of the New York State Young Republicans at the time, referred to rape as “epic.” Peter Giunta, who at the time was chair of the same organization, wrote in a message sent in June that “everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber.” - Politico reports

The Chino Valley Unified School District board in California has spent a *decade* trying to turn public meetings into church services. They just lost AGAIN in court. Maybe they should focus on students instead of sermons. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/judge-shut...

Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape. Report from Politico.
