Christopher Hitchens - On Morning Joe discussing Catholic sex scandals

March 30, 2010.
Christopher Hitchens interviewed on MSNBC on the Catholic sex scandals.

[@MelvinRoy84]

I love that she calls them "revelations". For a choice of words.

[@grumpyotter]

I wish we could have had Mr. Hitchens' views on Ratzinger's retirement.

[@66Viscount]

We need justice for those poor boys who must have gone through hell and continue to suffer mental anguish in relation to what they went through. Also, let us not forget the serious allegations made against some Catholic nuns . Unfortunately many if not most will escape without their actions being examined in a court of law.

[@hozonkai9967]

Not just boys!

[@redskinStu]

Damn, that was good. When she says "Oh he apologized" I thought Hitchens was going to get up and leave.

[@lewisgreenhalgh1414]

Btw at this point he has cancer, he just doesn't know it. he's a hero for real

[@TheJonnyzeus]

It's sad to watch this interview now. Hitch was already sickening at the time. I miss him.

[@mikeb7456]

Why is "Tonight, Tonight" playing in the background for the last two minute? It's distracting as hell.

[@circlesinthenight3141]

Its so much worse then a sex scandal its child rape

[@StarTexaspets]

Wonder what he would have to say with the current 300 catholic priests molesting 1,000 boys coming out now in 2018. We need your guidance. Miss you Hitch

[@LockSteady]

The line from the new pope about how atheists could get into heaven would have really flipped his daisy.

[@mervinprone]

I’m so glad the Catholic Church has moved beyond this

[@BarbaraManor]

Jack Martin --- How and when?

[@johnking5174]

@@BarbaraManor He is joking and being sarcastic

[@robertblakeman9978]

IT HAS NOT MOVED PAST THIS-ITS WORSE YOU CRETIN!!

[@todshi]

Its just like the good book says: "Suffer the children"...

[@pthompson108]

Let's not forget that, until recently, the age of consent in the Vatican was the lowest in the western world.... 12 ! WTF ?

[@MrWackozacko]

smashing pumpkins in the background or am i mental?

[@guilhermecastro420]

Ewokah Dong and one of the best of them in my opinion "Tonight, tonight"

[@moustachiomike]

who is playing tonight tonight in the background?

[@rsr789]

Because tonight is when the priest is going to rape the alter-boy.

[@Sagaciousish]

Pashing Smumkins

[@joecurran2811]

This is the point where people turned against the Catholic Church.

[@ConnorsGenisis]

Making snake-oil cheaper doesn't make it any more useful.

[@coltraneole]

Hitch was having the worst possible hair day. Lol

[@dotkomtom]

Why not?

[@kdc19941]

TONIGHT TONIGHTTTTT... random

[@LJUncut]

Does Yahweh translate to mean Hitchens?

[@mintybrown3993]

shocking

[@kevinrheap1]

Interesting?

[@ret4kind]

What's crazy is that the Catholic church even exists. Like even in an age where the internet educates people out of religion, why anyone would want to be a Catholic when there are safer versions of Christianity is unfathomable to me.

[@arc77fordo29]

Orthodox Christianity. Our priests marry and have families. Hence why you never hear of these things coming out of the EOC. ☦️

[@kevinrheap1]

I hate to offend anyone but I find this offensive.

[@crzyprplmnky]

+kevin heap Yeah what the hell is wrong with you dude?

[@markevans344]

Why are USA tv asking a Brit on opinion on this?

[@gonnamakeushine]

Because he was an American citizen.

[@dotkomtom]

Why not, especially this 'Brit'?, US citizen or not, and then again why prefix intelligence with nationality?

[@ItsameAlex]

He's an American

[@Mozzers84]

Why are Americans listening to a story about a foreign head of State should be the question. At least Hitch had a Green Card.

[@markphc99]

Also he was an American by 2010
