With Ratzinger as pope the Roman church will not change for the better, no matter how many good and decent clergyman there are. That guy has sold his soul to the rotten core of the Vatican establishment.
Time to get the bishops back into their churches, and out of European politics. Thumbs up for mr. Kelly.
I look forward to the day a bishop is charged with complicity in the crime of knowingly assisting an abuser, because then it would go up the ladder, with Ratzinger at the top, and his "KEEP IT QUIET" letter as prime evidence.
Communism, News Int, Middle East dictatorships, and now the Catholic "church", all huge edifices which seemed unassailable are shown to be built on sand. Let's get the bishops OUT of the House of Lords
I, too, hope it's the beginning and that the Irish parliament keeps their balls. Keep us americans in the loop of what's going on over there. Religiously, I mean.
@WiseMonkey888 I'm sure that there are good and decent clergy too. However, the organisation as a whole is rotten to the core. I hope that these developments see a true separation between church and state such that the disproportionate influence of the Vatican is removed from European politics.
Yup. And the Vatican responded by pulling out its envoy to Ireland [facepalm]

Didn't you hear? It's not the church, it's homosexuals. *facepalm*

@TheBigMclargehuge Quite. So many people overlook the number of young girls who were raped.

Theists abjure reason, that they also abjure responsibility should come as no surprise.
