In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: obscene and non-obscene. A comment is obscene if it is considered offensive to the public sense of decency, for example because it too obviously relates to sex or contains language regarded as taboo in polite usage.

Comment: For me, this one says it all:

"Long told the commission that ordained ministers have too much power in the church and too little accountability. The hierarchal culture of the institution needs to be dismantled, he said."

Maybe when a few hundred of these guys begin to feel that, real change will be possible. Right now, sad to say, I suspect this good man's career is likely capped from this point forward. Contrast him, for example to Cdl. Burke's antics, and his all but open "campaigning" to be the next pope...

I would hope that as we listen to this bishop, we realize the impact of what he's saying would have on us as well. The bishops clearly have the power. But I fear many in the laity who would actually know how to use that power if we got it, long ago left the church. If he were to prevail, I think a collaboration would need to emerge. Fun to think about, eh?
Non-obscene
