Considered one of the most inane advertising campaigns of all time, the Certs mints famously became a part of American pop culture in the 1960s. Who can forget the two attractive actors arguing over the proper description of the product? One would proclaim "It's a breath mint!" while the other would retort "It's a candy mint!" The debate would then be settled by an off camera voice stating the famous tag line "It's two, two, two mints in one!"

The Roman Catholic Church is now embracing it's multiple personalities in a way that would put Sybil to shame. As the facts of the hierarchies gross negligence not dealing with sexual predators has emerged with volumes of evidence, like many, I assumed they would act like a church. (I know, ass u me) It is obvious after all these years they will use whatever identity their lawyers advise will help them avoid accountability and keep their secrets secret. An organization that claims the moral high ground, professes to know the ultimate truth, and teaches the values of confession and taking responsibility has no intention of willingly admitting their culpability in any crimes.

The defenses church attorneys have used over the years have included the best religious and secular arguments they can conjure up. The one argument rarely used is "Not Guilty" because, well they are. The schizophrenic business model of the Catholic Church has given them the needed double whammy to fight lawsuits from those pesky rape victims and avoid criminal prosecutions. So, what is the Vatican?
