Well if the citizens of Italy are anything at all like the crackberry junkies in America there is no chance in hades that they will stop using.

We all see it every day here, rocket scientist typing head down on their tiny key boards while driving their cars, these sheep are so addicted / strung-out that they have no control over themselves any more, The telecommunication execs must be very pleased with their success having gain this level of control over so many.

Hey Mark G in CT, you can do it, just think if you drop cable as well you get about a $1,200.00 dollar a year raise, Heck get rid of just one car at your household and the raise becomes even bigger, no gas, no up keep, no insurance payments, now your looking at $2,500.0 a year raise. be brave and just do it :)

Are the Catholic clergy also being asked to stop molesting children during Lent too?

Thats a real kneeslapper.
I didn't think it would be this soon for all of the anticatholicsism to come out of the woodwork.

Now your asking for too much, The entire Catholic industry is based in lies, fear and make believe. They only rotate the molesters to different locations so as to disguise their desperate but no longer secret little freak show.
Lets be for real here they shun relationships with women for a life of celibacy and pretend to give sound advice to families, an institution in witch they have a zero sum skill set in, and the really odd part is that so many supposed adults think that this freak show is a good place to bring your children to, even after they have been exposed repeatedly for supporting child molesters the world over, whats up with that ?? its really creepy that parents expose their children to this organization on purpose.
Later fellow citizens,

screw off eddy. the church is getting stronger every time your like attack it. Maybe you should move down south while you have time. They take to the anticatholicism down there much better. Just don't be suprised when the clergy of whatever you follow are guilty of the same issues that the RCC priests have been accused of. There is a lot of strength in that church, and it apparently is a little intimidating for you.

Yeah right and let's bring back the Latin Mass, that will work wonders for
"Human Communication." Here's a suggestion for Rome, focus on the Gospel,The Teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ not just a quick reading and a homily that typically becomes a segue for A "We need more Money Speech." Teach "The Word!!!" The Roman Catholic faith is so ready for this. Back off of the pomp and circumstance.Study Early Christianity and teach it, IN ENGLISH!!!! GOOD GRIEF !!!

My GOD, concerning yourselves with iPods and Texting. Read the Bible will you!!

I'm thinking that just like politicians who focus on insignificant issues because there is no real effort involved to do so and it gets publicity, the leaders of the RCC need to consentrate on more important matters, including self-reform and stop fretting about Ipods, cell phones, etc.

BTW I wonder how many of them are going to give up automobile travel and hop on a bicycle.

They are not accusations, they are facts, the catholic cult has spent over two billion dollars in lawyers and restitution payments on its child molestation issues since 1950, and the church you spew about is getting smaller every day, why do you think the RCC is shutting down parishes all over America?, Oh, and I live with out clergy of any kind, it is a common error by religious fundamentalists that the belief in fairy tales is participated in by everyone, oh and read a history book once in a while, the catholic/christian religion was made up long after the death of the low level rabbi it is attributed to.
