Italian hackers affiliated with hacktivist collective Anonymous pushed the Vatican's website offline last night.

Re: Now, time to attack the Government of Mongolia's website

Although amusingly, Genghiz Khan did claim that his law enforcement was so good, a virgin with a bag of gold around her neck could walk naked from one end of his empire to the other without being attacked. Whether the same would hold true in the Vatican (especially for a boy virgin) is open to doubt...

"...death for even minor offences?"

That'll be getting off lightly. There's a documented account of a Mongol soldier being left on his jack jones with the tedious task of executing prisoners, while the rest of the army got stuck into the looting and pillaging bit. After a while, his sword became blunt (human necks do that) and his sword arm got tired, so he told the queue to wait while he sorted things out.

After a couple of hours, he came back refreshed and carrying a new sword, to find the lot of 'em still waiting for him. They were far more shit-scared of what would have happened if they'd tried to run away.

Bigotry. Denouncing gay people as useless and openly condemning them.

Not bigotry. Pointing out the catholic system has harboured and protects hundreds of paedos and organises campaigns of hate against those who speak out against them.

Bigotry : Calling the Catholic Church an international paedophile group.

Selling indulgences?

Never saw the problem myself. Faced with a load of rich idiots prepared to pay princely sums for meaningless bits of paper it'd be churlish not to really....

No way, Satan wouldn't want the competition!

Selling indulgences

I think you can still buy one, if you want!

You have to remember there are some boys in Sicily who are deeply religious but have a tendency to stray from the path. They have the money and don't mind giving it to a righteous guy!

Otherwise burning books and killing your enemies seems fairly standard practice for most regimes throughout history. Picking on the church is just a case of discrimination...

Anonymous hacked a website? They've done so much to help children and society.
