    It’s kind of nuts how people talk about US politicians now the same way we began collectively talking about catholic priests 10 years ago.

    I hope the pejorative sticks.

      10 years ago? I can remember going to catholic school when I was 5, and my dads friends joking that the priest was going to get me, and rape me. I had no idea what that meant at the time, but that was the 1980s.

        Even in the 70s, if you went to Catholic school in a very Catholic city, or had a number of friends that did, whether male or female, you knew. The only ones keeping quiet about it were the press and the church itself.
