Absolute power corrupts absolutely. It is the absolute truth. Over time, many Catholic popes, priests, and bishops have demonstrated an inability to use their absolute power responsibly. When word/gossip of this leaks out, there is a panic in the magisterium because the Catholic church must be an infallible institution. Then begins the media spin, where the magisterium conjures up whatever lies they can in order to warp the truth to their favor. Then, every bad thing is neatly swept under the rug. This is the cycle of Catholic politics.
I really like Catholicism and it is a great religion with strong morals and lots of good people, but Catholic politics just make me sick.

A small university located in the ghetto NE section of Washington, DC called Brookland. The only university in the U.S. chartered, owned, and run by the Vatican in Rome. The population consists largely of people from "near-Philly," but New York, Massachusetts, and the Washington/Baltimore metro areas are also common. The population has a good percentage of "God-squad," from Campus Ministry, but everyone at Catholic knows how to party. Yes, even those in the God-Squad. In a recent Playboy list of top party schools, Miami was number one, but Catholic was asterisked underneath with detail: "We don't rate professionals." Catholic students are often the main (illegal) customers of bars, Johnny K's and Brothers, and on Saint Patrick's Day, you won't find better campus spirit (or more openly drunk people and skipped classes) then at Catholic. Often seen running around campus are random artsy music/theater people and a 30% gay population, despite the Catholic name. One can expect to find lots of conservatives, pro-lifers, popped collars, flip-flops all year round, and mass homogeneousness. A school for smart kids who slacked off in high school, always full of controversy over the speaker-policy, and always in the Washington Post due to its dramas.
Guy 1: "Hey! In exactly 4 months it'll be St. Patty's Day, we need to get movin with plans!"
Guy 2: "Omgosh you're right, put on your flip flops, pop your collar, we have to make an itinerary for the day."
Guy 3: "Yea, we'll need 10 cases of beer for the four of us, green die, and stops at Brother's and K's.."
Guy 4: "Don't forget, we gotta get up at 8am to start drinking."

Because they were taught that everything is equally sinful, they feel that any and all actions are morally equal (ie: kissing a guy is on par with sleeping with the football team) and not taught control, restraint, or moderation and instead taught only abstinence (ie: excessive uncontrolled drinking).

Get the Catholic Schoolgirl Syndrome mug.The child caboose in a (roman) catholic family, generally several to many older siblings, normally younger by as many as five years or more. Most know the Church is vehemently against abortion (duh), but it also highly disapproves of birth control, as well. This makes the likelihood of accidental / unplanned births among the most devout families almost an inevitability.
In the O'Callahan family of Medford, there are six children : Mary, Patrick, the identical twins Rory and Maile, Kathleen, and Kevin. Did I forget someone ? Oh, yes, a seventh - Edward, called Teddy by everyone else, although the twins jokingly refer to him as John Thomas behind his back as he is seven years (!) behind the next youngest sibling. Teddy is the caboose of the family, or more appropriately, the Catholic Accident, as his birth was something of a surprise (i.e., unplanned).
