The Diocese of Brooklyn is demanding an immediate public apology from “Saturday Night Live” and NBC after Saturday night’s disgraceful and offensive skit in which cast member Pete Davidson, during the Weekend Update segment, said: “If you support the Catholic Church, isn’t that the same thing as being an R. Kelly fan?” The statement clearly shocked the studio audience as gasps could be heard off camera.
Apparently, the only acceptable bias these days is against the Catholic Church. The faithful of our Church are disgusted by the harassment by those in news and entertainment, and this sketch offends millions. The mockery of this difficult time in the Church’s history serves no purpose.
The clergy sex abuse crisis is shameful, and no one should ever get a laugh at the expense of the victims who have suffered irreparably. The Diocese of Brooklyn strives every day to ensure that sexual abuse by clergy never happens again.

Dear Brooklyn diocese,
Stop covering up child abuse and stop protecting child rapists and then you won't be compared to an abusive child rapist.

So, they have a history of sexually assaulting and victimizing thousands and thousands of children (over hundreds of years) moving the offenders wound in secret (over decades), covering it up at the highest levels (for decades), and refusing to pay damages (until it’s literally an epidemic) yet a joke complain about a satirical show comparing it to a molester. So the molesters are complaining about being compared to a molester?

"I'm sorry that you rape children." - How's that?
edit: Thanks for the Gold & Platinum. I will pay it forward.
