its not allowed. No comment is allowed on child molesters who hide behind religion. We obviously approve of this behaviour and defend their right to wreck children's lives.
Bah humbug

It was the equivalent of a joke where Germans are stereotyped as Nazis.
It was offensive.
EDIT: Oh, and it violated the TOS.

What does the 'yo mama' thread do for stereotyping? Who might that offend?

Was it a joke about bishops who covered up the scandal? No.
It was a joke about priests. It stereotyped them as criminals.
EDIT: What was the difference between that joke and a joke that stereotypes a German as a Nazi?

The problem with "offensive religious jokes" is that the jokes are normally offensive to religious people.
I find your whole religion to be offensive, but I don't ask the moderators to ban it.

Originally posted by rwingettPah! There's nothing I enjoy more than a good laugh. With many things in life, there are places where one draws a line. Would you find jokes about how stupid your dad (if he's still around) is, funny? Just FYI, I didn't do any reporting.
