GERMANY -- It's yet another Catholic sex scandal, this time a chronic pattern of sexual abuse by a few priests in Berlin that was known and tolerated by church leaders for almost 20 years. They've got a nice phrase for what was going on: "intimate, fatherly behavior."

Catholic church: you don't know what fatherly means, and none of you deserve the respectable title of "father" at all. I'm a dad, please don't taint me with your skeevy, repellent attitude towards men who actually care for their children.
