The nazi Pope can go eat a bag of adult dicks.

A criminal will deny by appealing to the most basic of responses.

The result is always to attract those of us too quick to accept the thoughts of those we have become accustom to thinking they know more than we. And we are increasingly not in agreement.

Some of us have already lived long enough to truly understand what depth of thought is meant by "a sense of history."

To Benedict XVI and every other Pope, aka Protector Of Paedophile Employees I say utter Bullshit, Drivel and religious Twaddle in extremis.
Abuse, child abuse in particular has been running rampant through Catholicism since it earliest days and has been neatly swept under the Canonic carpets.
Maybe Pope Dicky Boy XVI has conveniently forgotten about the Castrati practice used for CENTURIES where boys in Church choirs were CASTRATED summarily before reaching puberty simple to 'preserve' for the Choir their High 'Angelic/Cherubic' voices BEFORE the surge of Testosterone started to change them?
Has Pope Dicky Boy XVI also conveniently forgotten that both the Popes and the Cardinals in the Vatican have and still do OWN, Operate AND frequent Brothels throughout Rome?

For sure this is a bunch of shit,

Well, they were on acid. That makes it ok then...

But the sexual freedom of the 60 was not for them!!! That is no excuse. They are men with strong values, aren't they?

Did he deliberately forget the years of abuse before the 60s.

You mean RATzinger. The usual excuse of blame and obfuscation. Priests were molesting kids from day one and gays are not made gay they are born that way. Problem is there are too many that listen to him or want to listen.

Benedict XVI had his head up his butt to make comment like that. Too be so smart he was so dumb. First the Catholic Church is an Evil Empire only concerned with their own interests, God is a means to an ends, the world will be better off when it finally implodes and in time it will, always blaming somebody or something for their faults. One Third of the axis or Evil....

THe 60's caused the exodus of people from the clergy-that is still plaguing the church to this day. The church is desperate with this regard-and since it will never change-it will continue to have this problem. The hard right of catholicism is advocating either expulsion of Gays or celibacy. Quite unhealthy thinking.
Regarding timeline - the gays were also part of the Holocaust - where the pink triangle originated. The US government purged gays in the 50's with flourish part of the lavender scare. UK chemically castrated the man who was involved in breaking Nazi ciphers as homosexuality was against the law. But fortunately, their GOD brought AIDS to purge the gays in the 1980's. But, I'm told that things are better now.........

Idiot, he obviously has no clue at all. This has been going on for centuries its not like it is something new.

Bloody Hell. The old fool is only making matters worse for them. So anyone abused over the age of 30 was imagining it. And this the guy who was head of the equivalent office to The Inquisition. Wouldn’t he have loved torturing individuals into giving up their ‘evil’ non catholic ways. What a prick!

It's those bloody hippies. They're to blame.

Which is why I won’t even look at my family members who are practicing Catholics.
