For example, a search for \u201cbirth control\u201d serves up pages on why birth control is viewed as a sin in the Catholic Church as its first results.<\/p>\n<p>The search engine might appeal to some devout Catholics if it actually worked. However, it seems that when it comes to filtering topics beyond the standard \u201coffensive\u201d categories (swear words and sex) , CatholicGoogle only serves to make queries potentially more offensive. A search for \u201cdrunk\u201d yields a video of \u201cDrunk Catholic Kids\u201d. Perhaps even more bizarre: a search for \u201csex\u201d offers an article bashing the Church\u2019s stance on sexuality (they may have included this in the results for a balanced alternative perspective, but I doubt it). It\u2019s as if the site just appends the word \u201cCatholic\u201d to whatever you\u2019re searching for and crosses its fingers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> Curious?
