Any wonder why so many are cynical of organized religion?
Top Vatican officials — including the future Pope Benedict XVI — did not defrock a priest who molested as many as 200 deaf boys, even though several American bishops repeatedly warned them that failure to act on the matter could embarrass the church, according to church files newly unearthed as part of a lawsuit.
Tearing a page out of the Republican playbook, the Vatican came out with this crap.
The Vatican on Thursday strongly defended its decision not to defrock an American priest accused of molesting some 200 deaf boys in Wisconsin and denounced what it called a campaign to smear Pope Benedict XVI and his aides.
Popes, like Republicans, are NEVER guilty of anything. In fact, they’re all as pure as freshly driven snow so anything which paints them in an unfavorable light is merely a lie and an attempt by evil-doers to smear them. Got that? They’re innocent. They’re always innocent.
They all make me sick.

Well Mario, don’t you understand? They are just keeping with their tradition. The tradition of hypocrisy and shameful things they do, with children especially, is written in history and in the broken hearts, and broken spirits of millions throughout the world. To admit any wrong doing is to lose the faithful flock, and all that $$$$$$. A fine example of all that is pure. Pure evil, that is.
“could embarrass the church”???? WTF!!! What about it is a horrible crime against totally innocent victims their parents trusted him to care for?????????
Impeach him. Can they do that? No because they have made him a sacred being and untouchable. Do not think that will ever happen because within the vatican there are probably plenty of pedophiliacs. So they will not do a thing.
Amazing how such a powerful business is slowly deteriorating.
@janine
I totally agree. They made Christ a sacred being and now the hierarchy of the catholic church is just as corrupt as any government — even worse than ours and that is a mouthful!

They can’t impeach a Pope, but he’s doing his best to turn good Catholics into good Episcopalians.
And yes, I am a practicing Roman Catholic.

so it seems the Pope is infallible and whatever he says is?
sheesh

Oh come on. Like the Galilleo incident, they’ll fess up in 500 years or so…
Nope, no consequences for God, or Jesus incarnate, don’t ya know. He’s perfect in every way.

This is a time for all chr*stians to take a look in the mirror, not just the Catholics. There is plenty of pedophilia to go around.

Quote: Bill Donohue: Child Molesting Priests Weren’t Pedophiles Because Most Boys Were Post Pubescent

I am sure that little factoid is a great comfort to the young boys and young men and to their parents and loved ones.
In my opinion Bill Donohue is nothing but a whore for the church with no concern for the children anywhere in his black soul.
