Asymmetric Religion and Philosophy

Haters will pounce on every opportunity to hate. The media realize that anything with the words "Catholic," "Sex," and/or "Vatican" will generate some clicks. That's what happened when CNN, Huffington Post, and others produces the headline, "Vatican Hit by Prostitution Scandal."

With that headline, you'd think that one of the Cardinals were running the service or procuring the hookers. Or, that the Vatican knew about it and condoned it.

Instead, the story is that a lay choir singer spoke to an unpaid lay adviser about getting some lay men to lay with him. Does it really say anything about the Church that some of its members sin?

I guess people have high expectations of choir boys, what with the stereotypes and all, and that makes it interesting.
