I actually support Pope Francis. He has ousted the hypocrites and appointed gay friendly bishops. The right wing of the church hate him. They want to go back to the old days when priests could live in the closet and be protected. Benedict is gay, there is absolutely no doubt about that but he is the most homophobic pope in history. I guess it is part self hatred and part self preservation. "The lady doth protest to much methinks".

So speaks Ratzinger, and I don't give a fig if I've spelled his stinking name correctly either, once an ardent member of the Hitler Youth Movement during WWII.
I'd trust a cart load of snakes before I'd trust that piece a rank Nazi Scum any day.

This is not some recent problem. Pedophilia has been going on in the Priesthood for CENTURIES! He is right about the absent of God, because there ain't one.

Will did anybody expect the Vatican to take responsibility?

They covered those crimes up for fuck's sake...

The conservatives in the catholic church 'castrated' its clergy and they now want to hypocritically blame pope Francis...one of those leading the charge, bye the bye is Steve Bannon.

He's deflecting. He also blamed it on a lack of laws to protect priests, for some stupid reason.

Says the nazi sympathiser

Oh, and he goes on to say... "One outcome of the sexual revolution", Benedict wrote, is that “pedophilia was then also diagnosed as allowed and appropriate.”

Diagnosed as allowed AND appropriate?!?!? You guys are suppose to be priests not physicians. So much for the church holding the moral high ground. Pedophilia has never been allowed or appropriate. Benedict has turned up his "blame-thrower" to a twelve to blame anything but his own institution and its leadership for their crimes. Pathetic.
