And right now the RC Church has a lot more to deal with that contraception, etc. Big Frankie is coming out with an encyclical on the environment and its effect on people. He'll be addressing the US Congress on September 24 and I suspect he's going to make damned near all of the Catholic conservatives (such as John Boehner, the Speaker of the House) uncomfortable to say the least. If you have sex of any sort with a child (however that's defined in the law) you commit a crime. Period. But as Joe says, this isn't the place to discuss child molestation, pedophilia, and similar topics. Instead, let's rejoice in what Ireland just did.
