While it may be comedy....It is based on some truths....
The truth that the catholic church is filled with pedo's and they have been covering it up for years....TRUTH
You can’t put a price on how much damage the Catholic Church’s sex abuse scandals have done to the victims. But you sure as hell can count how much the Church has paid out as a result of those lawsuits. And that’s what Jack and Diane Ruhl of the National Catholic Reporter did.
According to their research, since 1950, that amount comes out to $3,994,797,060.10. Nearly $4 billion. And that’s an underestimate since we still don’t know how much was spent for therapy for the victims, help for the offenders, and the creation of “safe environment” programs.

Really sick comedy ! Why take a sad situation and make it worse with degrading comedy.
Maybe those actors are all part of a pedo club ?

No doubt a lot of comedy is controversial but it does bring the conversation to the fore front and not with the heavy emotional strain that is obviously associated with molestation. ...It is happening and it needs to be discussed....Even if a offensive skit is the catalyst that starts the conversation...
You have to admit the subject matter of the skit is very real and very concerning....

The source is listed as a fake news site by Wikipedia, Snopes, Media Bias/Fact Check, Hoaxes.org and ABC (Australia) Media Watch.
It is also blocked by Facebook and Google+ filters as a fake news site.
Additionally, back in 2014 it picked up a YouTube video about ChemTrails and posted it as legitimate news and was caught out when the originator of the video revealed it was fake: The Man Who Tricked Chemtrails Conspiracy Theorists.
If you had done a little fact checking, you would find that the Vatican responded to these discoveries and removed Josef Wesolowski (who was not an Archbishop as the article states) from office in 2014. He was indicted for his crimes in 2015 but died before the trial. Józef Wesołowski From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Also, no other news sources are carrying the story.

What is it with Catholics in power positions? Why so much pedophilia among them?
We have two proofs of this: Paul says he was in (1 Cor 9:5)(Peter is called "Cephas") and (Mt 8:14-15)(Mk 1:29-31)(Lk 4:38) speak of Peter's "mother-in-law" being sick.
In (1 Cor 9:5), Paul also mentions that "other apostles" and "the brothers of the Lord" had wives. Because being married was so important in Jewish culture, it is logical to assume that most, or all of the disciples were married.
"Or will they," says he, [848] "reject even the apostles? For Peter [849] and Philip [850] begat children; and Philip also gave his daughters in marriage. And Paul does not hesitate, in one of his epistles, to greet his wife, [851] whom he did not take about with him, that he might not be inconvenienced in his ministry."
I can't believe people are so narrow minded as to blame this problem on religion!
Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:
2 The Pharisees and the teachers of the Law are experts in the Law of Moses. 3 So obey everything they teach you, but don’t do as they do. After all, they say one thing and do something else.
4 They pile heavy burdens on people’s shoulders and won’t lift a finger to help. 5 Everything they do is just to show off in front of others. They even make a big show of wearing Scripture verses on their foreheads and arms, and they wear big tassels[a] for everyone to see. 6 They love the best seats at banquets and the front seats in the meeting places. 7 And when they are in the market, they like to have people greet them as their teachers.
8 But none of you should be called a teacher. You have only one teacher, and all of you are like brothers and sisters. 9 Don’t call anyone on earth your father. All of you have the same Father in heaven. 10 None of you should be called the leader. The Messiah is your only leader. 11 Whoever is the greatest should be the servant of the others. 12 If you put yourself above others, you will be put down. But if you humble yourself, you will be honored.
13-14 You Pharisees and teachers of the Law of Moses are in for trouble! You’re nothing but show-offs. You lock people out of the kingdom of heaven. You won’t go in yourselves, and you keep others from going in.
15 You Pharisees and teachers of the Law of Moses are in for trouble! You’re nothing but show-offs. You travel over land and sea to win one follower. And when you have done so, you make that person twice as fit for hell as you are.
16 You are in for trouble! You are supposed to lead others, but you are blind. You teach that it doesn’t matter if a person swears by the temple. But you say that it does matter if someone swears by the gold in the temple. 17 You blind fools! Which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold sacred?
18 You also teach that it doesn’t matter if a person swears by the altar. But you say that it does matter if someone swears by the gift on the altar. 19 Are you blind? Which is more important, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20 Anyone who swears by the altar also swears by everything on it. 21 And anyone who swears by the temple also swears by God, who lives there. 22 To swear by heaven is the same as swearing by God’s throne and by the one who sits on that throne.
23 You Pharisees and teachers are show-offs, and you’re in for trouble! You give God a tenth of the spices from your garden, such as mint, dill, and cumin. Yet you neglect the more important matters of the Law, such as justice, mercy, and faithfulness. These are the important things you should have done, though you should not have left the others undone either. 24 You blind leaders! You strain out a small fly but swallow a camel.
25 You Pharisees and teachers are show-offs, and you’re in for trouble! You wash the outside of your cups and dishes, while inside there is nothing but greed and selfishness. 26 You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of a cup, and then the outside will also be clean.
27 You Pharisees and teachers are in for trouble! You’re nothing but show-offs. You’re like tombs that have been whitewashed.[c] On the outside they are beautiful, but inside they are full of bones and filth. 28 That’s what you are like. Outside you look good, but inside you are evil and only pretend to be good.
29 You Pharisees and teachers are nothing but show-offs, and you’re in for trouble! You build monuments for the prophets and decorate the tombs of good people. 30 And you claim that you would not have taken part with your ancestors in killing the prophets. 31 But you prove that you really are the relatives of the ones who killed the prophets. 32 So keep on doing everything they did. 33 You are nothing but snakes and the children of snakes! How can you escape going to hell?
34 I will send prophets and wise people and experts in the Law of Moses to you. But you will kill them or nail them to a cross or beat them in your meeting places or chase them from town to town. 35 That’s why you will be held guilty for the murder of every good person, beginning with the good man Abel. This also includes Barachiah’s son Zechariah,[d] the man you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 I can promise that you people living today will be punished for all these things!

As another member states I'm unsure how reliable the source is. If it's true then wow about time. And talking of timing , it's convenient time considering how long the Vatican has been protected for. Maybe gives Catholic s a different view and convert too let's say Islam instead. Who will eventually out vote all political decisions. Especially Shari law if it ever comes up for the public to vote on.
Maybe I'm thinking too deep. Shame on the police to not name the rest of the twisted pervs
Vatican City is the smallest country in the world. Encircled by a 2-mile border with Italy, Vatican City is an independent city-state that covers just over 100 acres, making it one-eighth the size of New York’s Central Park. Vatican City is governed as an absolute monarchy with the pope at its head. The Vatican mints its own euros, prints its own stamps, issues passports and license plates, operates media outlets and has its own flag and anthem. One government function it lacks: taxation. Museum admission fees, stamp and souvenir sales, and contributions generate the Vatican’s revenue.

Yet another example of what religion gets you.
Seems pedophilia is a common thread in both Catholicism and Islam.

People need very much to READ Jesus words themselves, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are quick and easy to read.
Organized religion actually serves to bury the true word of Christ. It is self-serving and duplicates the behaviors in every way of the ones that actually had Christ killed. verse "19. Are you blind?"
verse 9 Don’t call anyone on earth your father. All of you have the same Father in heaven.

Are you saying the above is a reason to call religion the reason for all pedophilia ?
Organized religion can serve the true purposes of Christ despite some of it's followers and teachers being flawed and sinful.

2. John 15:19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
