Ban Dracula!

It's old news, but I'm sure there's more... Vampire Boy Guilty Of Murder. This relates to the child-porn discussion. Also, why are people so surprised that the Vatican didn't move faster in dealing with pedophile priests? After all, this is the organization that took almost 500 years to recognize Galileo was right - the Earth does revolve around the Sun. I'm sure priests have been chasing altar boys much longer than people thought the Sun was at the center of the Solar System.

Bash at the christians all you want, but Galileo's findings were accepted by the church; what they had issue with was some other statements he used his findings as a base for. Copernicus, now... there the church wasn't too swift, but C. didn't have any proof (or observational theories) behind his claims either.

I'm surprised that all the polytheists under the guise of a single fragmented christian church aren't getting together and trying to do a purge of what they collectively think is the bad old past. I almost had a cow when their last pope asked to be forgiven for persecuting witches.
