Catholic priest claims in Christmas message that women bring violence upon themselves

I'm beginning to think WoundedKnee is a person who has some type of position in the Catholic Church and feels personally attacked when attention is brought to the crimes and foolish statements made by Roman Catholic Church hierarchy. The pedophiles, pedophile protectors, and misogynists in the church need to be purged. Why do these people keep bringing shame on the Catholic Church? How can we ever get back respect when idiots in the church keep bringing detrimental attention to the church?

Very stupid comments by Fr. Corsi... though why he's appearing as a story on Irish Central when the this incident occurred in Italy beats me...

Father Corsi probably blamed the children that were raped by his cronies and maybe him for the abuse. This is the problem with the Catholic Church; the egotistical men in power have no concern for anyone but themselves and will do and say anything to maintain the status quo. Their narrow minded intellect does not permit them the accept that they are the problem with the church and they continue to spew dialogue that they feel is acceptable all the time not realizing everyone else in the world looks down at them, not up to them. Get rid of these charlatans posing as christians.

There is an element of truth to the provocatively dressed but having 6 inches of brain to work with certainly hampers a man's reasoning.

And how does Fr. Corsi account for the worldwide abuse of children by priests? Were they scantily clad too and brought the abuse on themselves?

WKnee - we don't always agree but you certainly hit the nail on the head with your last comment. Agree totally.

This guy is a feckin' charmer! I have never read such 'claptrap', by a man who should know better. Has he never heard the storyof Mary Magdalene? "The Bible and the church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of woman's emancipation." --Elizabeth Cady Stanton

A bit like you and immigrants Woundedknee....

It is now patent that this site Irish Central has an anti_Catholic agend. This guy is Italian, what does this have to do with Ireland or Irish America? And his bishop disowned him. Irish Central Know Nothings and Bigots.

I think that men who say that women share the blame for sexual violence because of the way they dress, say so because each time they see a woman dressed "provocatively" they themselves feel overwhelming sexual urges and think that this is a trait shared by all men. This makes sense considering the pent-up sexual frustrations priests and other bible-bashers must feel.

Typical of the roman catholic church. Always blaming the victims.

Wow, he really doesn't hold out much hope for men. According to his statements, men are weak, completely un-self-sufficient, easily led astray cretons who apparently can't control themselves in this harsh, cruel world. What an idgit.

Is Fr Corsi totally out of touch with domestic life in Italy? Or is it true that all domestic chores are the sole responsibility of Italian women and that Italian men have no responsibility whatever for the (alleged) facts that "Children are abandoned to their own devices, homes are dirty, meals are cold or fast food, clothes are filthy.” If that's the situation, Italian women are no better than slaves to men. But I do not believe it. The priest is blaming the victims for the "worst instincts" of their murderers and abusers. And "unacceptable" is all the bishop can say about this woman-bashing?
