I was come onto/touched by 2 catholic priests while in an all-girls parochial school.

Once in 11th grade and in my final year of high school. The second priest had NO business inquiring about fullness of the size of my breasts while trying on my cap and gown, and NO business invading my space by touching my hair, which was long in 12th grade. I wish this had happened now, because California's passed a law saying that if can now sue your molester/rapist etc, but it didn't. This took place in the late 70's, and I wasn't going to get anywhere by reporting it to the archdiocese of Los Angeles. Another incident happened in 5th grade, but I better stop talking now, before I start triggering myself.

And my parents sent me to Catholic school rom K to 8th grade and from 9-12 to an all-girls catholic high school, all in a bid to keep me safe.

This from a proud Jesuit education (8 years). Had the best education because they told us to trust the Science.

I'm in total shock, I tell ya. TOTAL shock!


Pope urges priests and nuns to delete porn from their phones.


Pope Francis warned priests and nuns against watching pornography online and urged them to delete it from their phones to avoid falling into temptation.

The 85-year-old pontiff told a Vatican session that porn on the internet was “a vice that so many people have ... even priests and nuns,” in response to questions about using digital and social media responsibly.

“The devil enters from there ... It weakens the priestly heart,” he told seminarians and priests studying in Rome this week in remarks published by the Vatican on Wednesday.

“Dear brothers, pay attention to this,” he said. “And if you can delete this from your mobile phone, delete it, so you won’t have the temptation in hand.”

The head of the Roman Catholic Church recounted that he had once received a mobile phone when he became a bishop, which he used to make a single call to his sister and immediately returned.

“It is not my world, but you must use it,” Francis said in comments about the benefits and risks of the internet. He asked his listeners to excuse him for mentioning porn, but described it as “a reality.”

“I will not say raise your hand if you have had at least one experience of this,” he added, asking them to reflect on it personally.

Don't take them to church. I went to private school in my youth and boy are those people and kids some huge mega time assholes and hypocrites. Where my agnosticism started.
