Pope Benedict has said ZERO in response to the growing anger in the flock over his alleged involvement in the cover up of a sexual and physical abuse scandal that occured in Munich while he was Archbishop. All there has been are Vatican spokesbots putting out the “He’s been set up” line of denials.
This morning, NPR’s Linda Wertheimerspoke to reporter Thomas Marzahl about the hundreds of Germans coming forward to say they suffered abuse by priests — and the victims say their complaints were dismissed or ignored by the church hierarchy.
The fact that this is all over the mainstream media now is putting extreme pressure for Papa Ratzi to either come clean or issue a blanket denial. Of course if he does the latter, that will open the floodgates to additional investigations to dig and find out if there’s a Holy Prevaricator in the Vatican. After all, the official Vatican Exorcist, Father Gabriel Amorth, has said that:
“The Devil lives in the Vatican. Naturally it’s difficult to find proof but the true consequences are visible…”We have cardinals who don’t believe in Christ, bishops connected with demons. Then we have these stories of paedophilia. You can see the rot when we speak of Satan’s smoke in the holy rooms of the Vatican.”
The rot is everywhere:
* One of Pope Benedict’s ceremonial ushers was among those implicated in a gay prostitution ring – after being caught on a police wiretap.* Catholic authorities in Germany on Wednesday announced a probe into allegations the Regensburger Domspatzen Boys Choir – once led by the Pope’s older brother.
* Major pedophilia cases involving priests have also surfaced in Ireland and the United States.

“deeply moved”So the Vicar of Christ on Earth(TM) is “deeply moved” by news of his own church’s (and possibly his very own) evildoing. What a meaningless statement. ”Deeply moved” in what way, and by what precisely? By the prospect that his cushy gig as Emperor of the Catholics is coming to an ignominious end? Well, yeah, seeing all that power and that opulent lifestyle go up in incense smoke would move me deeply, too. How the mighty have fallen!
“A Holy Prevaricator in the Vatican”I love the term, Pam. But he would, alas, be far from the first…
I just find the whole thing highly Providential
After all the work the Catholic Church and this Pope has put in to seeing marriage equality and gay rights set back…
Watching Focus on the Family’s leadership grow old and crumble…
Seeing the Mormon Church with not only its back against the wall over protests but the also seeing its home state make inroads into gay rights…
And best of all actually watching the anti marriage-equality coalition fall into a series of hard times both in court over their finances and in the election process over their anti-lgbt rhetoric….
I just think it is both gratifying and ironic that all of this is happening at the same time because if this much trouble came down on our side and on our community these groups would be the first to say God is somehow “punishing” us. So what do they call it when it is happening to them?
Just sayin’!
You don’t understand.God is not punishing them. They are victims of the evil, satanic, worse-than-anything gay agenda. The Vatican has tried time and again to blame the abuse scandal on us. My guess is, they’re getting ready to unload on us again, with both barrels.
Not if the pope is directly implicatedCome on they got 3000 cases to catch before they blame anybody!
The christer cults are reeling under the impact of rape scandals in the US and the EU. When they’re down, kick em. The examples of the French Revolution, with its liberal use of the guillotine on recalcitrant clerics and bishops, and the good work of the Bolsheviks and the Poumistas in Spain have all had a sobering effect on the christian cults.
Now they deny that ever put us on their list of ‘those who can be killed for no good reason’. The number of priests, imams, rabbis, pastors and ministers who mean to harm us is vast.
They outnumber Tutu millions to one.
In Africa local christer supporters of both US and EU neocolonialism are threatening a legal bloodbath. Right wingers are lining up behind the clerics but real African nationalists like Tutu oppose the reimposition of European and American divisiveness.
In the vatican the centuries old scandal of sexual abuse (rape) of children now directly involves der papenfuehrer and his brother, another priest who directed a boys (ahem) choir in Regensburg, Bavaria. It seems that Ratzinger also protected other known clerical rapists in Germany. Ratzinger, who blames all these upsetting developments on devils in the vatican, is not speaking figuratively.
In the US theocrats control both parties and continue their culture war to deprive us of equality. Our answer should be expose them as the rapists they are and to formulate a hard anticlerical program in our agenda, calling for measures to tax them out of existence and secularize their schools to prevent clerical rapes by priests, pastors and rabbis.
