  • @JohannHari1

    "Can you think of anything more Catholic than bringing that man to justice?"

    Yes, I can. Don't spread hate based on opinions of others. Obtain the real facts and post the references for others to see for themselves. You take the opinions of so called "good Catholics" and tell us to google them for the facts. Please, provide real evidence, not subjective statements saying that the Pope didn't care about children.

  • @JohannHari1

    "We can go on google to find documents leaked by good Catholics"

    Really? That is not much of a reference you have given.. Sounds like a hate speach person to me with nothing but conjecture and subjectivity at its finest.

  • @MrChristianBeliever I have just Googled the following "Marcial Maciel" "Ratzinger child sex abuse" "Pedophile priests cover up" "Legionaries of Christ". Any of these and more will take you in a few seconds to article upon article (all fully-referenced) exposing the role of Ratzinger and Pope John Paul II in covering up child rape. Please don't reply to this with some uninformed response based on blind loyalty and sheer prejudice. Inform yourself first - it's very easy.

  • @mikelheron20

    "Please don't reply to this with some uninformed response based on blind loyalty and sheer prejudice. Inform yourself first - it's very easy."

    You think I am not aware of it? What is your point of telling me about it? Do you think I am not angry about it?

    I don't have all of the facts and I am not going to lash out in anger with limited facts. I know the Pope is a human and can sin. I prefer to pray instead of lash out in anger. Nothing gets accomplished by being angry.

  • @mikelheron20

    The church today has issued a zero tolerance policy as have many other Protestant denominations. I think it is very biased to focus on the CC only when this problem is global in all religions and government agencies.

    If the church has a zero tolerance policy today, why do you continue to open old wounds? What are you trying to accomplish?

  • @mikelheron20

    Additional searches on google tell additional stories. Are you only interested in the ones that condemn the CC?

    DUBLIN – A 1997 letter from the Vatican warned Ireland’s Catholic bishops not to report all suspected child-abuse cases to police — a disclosure that victims’ groups described as “the smoking gun” needed to show that the church enforced a worldwide culture of covering up crimes by pedophile priests...

  • @mikelheron20

    ...The newly revealed letter, obtained by Irish broadcasters RTE and provided to The Associated Press, documents the Vatican’s rejection of a 1996 Irish church initiative to begin helping police identify pedophile priests following Ireland’s first wave of publicly disclosed lawsuits.

    The letter undermines persistent Vatican claims, particularly when seeking to defend itself in U.S. lawsuits, that Rome never instructed local bishops to withhold evidence ...

  • @mikelheron20

    ...or suspicion of crimes from police. It instead emphasizes the church’s right to handle all child-abuse allegations and determine punishments in house rather than give that power to civil authorities.

    Perhaps there was a cover up, I don't know. They currently have a zero tolerence policy and many priests are in prision.

    If the Pope used poor judgement as they claim Joe Paterno did, do you think he should be in prision? Will things get better if he was put in prison?

  • @mikelheron20 Marcial Maciel. Isn't he the guy that admitted he never even believed in God but only joined the church to get near kids? Regardless of the behaviour of criminals who infiltrated the church, the Bible condemns child abuse. Its like having a group called the anti-pedophiles set up children's schools and homes in order to protect kids from pedos. What do the pedos do? They join the anti-pedophile group in order to get at the kids.

  • @AntiFascist2011 Please show me where the Bible condemns child abuse.

  • BLAMING OTHERS YOU FUCKING IDIOTS TURN YOUR ASSES TO ISLAM IMMIGRATION INSTEAD

  • Great speech Johann, shame you probably stole it from someone else....

  • arrest the misogynist, bigoted pro paedo fucking pope.

  • It's a fucking pantomime...

  • Johann Hari - Disgraced Plagiarist - arrest this lying fuck !!!

  • @Fcvidal3 Johann Hari is a Hero and he speaks the truth, anyone who fallows the pope is in support of pedophilia. FUCK THE POPE.

  • you STUPID IDIOT JOHAN  YOU LET ALL MUSLIM LIVE IN YOUR COUNTRY AND YOU KNOW MANY ALL MUSLIM RAPE ALL YOUR WOMAN ASS HOLE

  • SHAME ON YOU STUPID LOOK YOUR COUNTRY NOW FULL MUSLIM SCUM AND YOUR PEOPLE WILL SEE WHEN THEIR RAPE ALL YOUR WOMAN IDIOT STUPID

  • To be honest, Johann would be a good christian.

  • look Dawkins behind... like allways

    catholics lives like a any atheist, they go to the church 3 times in their whole life. So what's the point...

  • (ref Michael Tsarion )Ratzinger already has a criminal conviction dating back to before he was a Cardinal

  • shame on the pope.

  • Sorry I admittedly have completley no knowledge about what the pope did or why everyones protesting him? Damn I should pay more attention in my catholic school haha x) Can anyone explain ? :)

  • @106141214 See video - queen and pope face charges of Child Trafficking, genocide and other crimes against humanity -

  • Well id didn't take long for this pompous left wing middle class prick to be exposed as a complete fraud, plagiarist and serial liar did it? God clearly has a sense of humour.

  • Hari is a whinging whealthy Oxbridge homo Jew, but he's bang on the money here.

  • Im anglican and I think the Pope should be arrested (I would say the same about the Queen if a similar thing had happened in the Church of England)

  • @MamaMario13 A similar thing has happened in the CofE

  • @MamaMario13 Fail.

  • Johann Hari is a lying hypocritical fool.

  • @AntiFascist2011 fuck u

  • Johann Hari has now been stripped of his 2008 Orwell Prize regarding Hari’s long article for the Independent about his trip to the Central African Republic in October 2007, in which he claimed – falsely, according to the charity that took him there – that he met French soldiers who told him: “Children would bring us the severed heads of their parents and scream for help, but our orders were not to help them.’

  • The Nazis murdered 2-3 million Catholics in the Holocaust, including gassing Catholic priests and nuns at Auschwitz and Dachau, and promised to exterminate the Catholic nation of Poland. Why would they do this if Hitler and his buddies were Catholic? Obviously they weren't. The Nazis were a mix of Atheists and Pagans.

  • Quotes by Hitler:

    "It is deplorable that the Bible should have been translated into German, and that the whole of the German Folk should have thus become exposed to the whole of this Jewish mumbo jumbo"

    "The religion fabricated by Paul of Tarsus, which was later called Christianity, is nothing but the Communism of to-day"

    "Christianity is not a natural religion for the Germans"

  • "It is Christianity that is the liar"

    "God (that is to say, the dominion of natural laws throughout the whole universe)."

    "Christianity is a prototype of Bolshevism: the mobilisation by the Jew of the masses of slaves"

    "I'm sure that Nero didn't set fire to Rome. It was the Christian-Bolsheviks who did that"

    "Christianity is an invention of sick brains"

  • "Immediate and unconditional abolition of all religions after the final victory"

    “The Ten Commandments have lost their validity. Conscience is a Jewish invention, it is a blemish like circumcision.”

    "We will wash off the Christian veneer and bring out a religion peculiar to our race."

    “The heaviest blow which ever struck humanity was Christianity; Bolshevism is Christianity’s illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew.”

    Sounds more like a New Atheist than a Catholic.

  • Strange that people are chanting “Allah Akbar” when Mohammed married a 9 year old and Ayatolla Khomenei reduced the marriageable age of girls in Iran from 16 to 9. Incidentally, Khomenei described sex with children as “ a divine blessing.” Paedophilia has a institutionalised history in Islam.

  • Protest March&Rally

    Join the “Secular Europe Campaign” in this protest march in central London

    Saturday 17th September 2011

  • @Mattyb88ful - You mean the "Lets destroy Europe Campaign".

  • @AntiFascist2011

    What are you talking about? Secularism is the only thing that can save Europe. Keep religion out of politics. Keep it a private affair.

  • I am a Cat-lick are you a Cat -licker too. I think every Catholc in the world

    should change his religon to being a Cat , or pussy -licker

  • Wow, South Park missed a treat with this fellow. SMUG ALERT! And Johann it seems has been a very naughty boy.

  • Fuck this little fat faggot - he was probably bummed by a priest when he was 12 in 1991 - and enjoyed it so much he now feels guilty. Arrest the pope he says - Hmmmm.... strange nothing came of it!! The Pope won.

  • @GoldenLegends100 To sum up your post:

    GoldenLegends100 - "I support child rape."

    That's basically the message your putting across there.

  • @Averagegamer100 no, not at all sir. I just find it odd when homosexuals take moral high grounds. Homosexuality and Peadophilia are both unnatural dispositions.

  • @GoldenLegends100 Shatter your delusions, did he? U mad?

  • Excellant, I love this man!

  • Comment removed

  • You're all popes now!!

  • Hey ! That's Richard Dawkins standing behind Johann Hari !!!

  • Joseph tell it to the judge :D

  • he didnt even mention the whole "Aids is bad but not as bad as condoms"

  • I just found out who Johann Hari is, and he's earned my utmost respect in a matter of minutes. He's what the left wing SHOULD be! I admire how he refuses to support tyrants like Castro, Stalin and Mao and fights against the idiots who do, like dickhead george galloway and the radical commies of the old-left wing. His support for atheism and gay rights is pretty awesome as well. the left needs more people like him...

  • @theocean1973 galloway is a Hamas-supporting nut bag

  • I don't understand, what crime against humanity is he accusing the pope of? All he

  • @standinstann child abuse cover up you ignorant vile aresehole,how dare you show vile ,putrid disgust and say you are not aware of this!!

  • @umeshpatel that isn't a crime against humanity; there would have to be a policy TO rape children, and THAT would have to be covered up in order for it to meet the definition. What the church did was put children in danger which does not meet the very specific definition of crimes against humanity; that is; carrying out, being complicit with, or tolerant of policies of 'action'; it doesn't cover 'negligence'.

    You can call me whatever you like, just get your facts strait.

  • @standinstann You can not use the term negligence to define covering up the rape of children! All you have to do is look at cases like O'Grady and see that the church's policy is to cover up and protect themselves rather then the children that have been and are being abused and raped. It may not be a crime against humanity but it is aiding and abetting. ‘The criminal charge of aiding and abetting can usually be brought against ANYONE who helps in the commision of a crime.’

  • @fivepointsmakeafist2 That's exactly what we would call it if this were being tried according to (for example) American Law. "criminal negligence" doesn't mean "oops, we weren't paying attention sorry", usually it describes exactly what you're rightly charging those bishops with. 

  • I was there on that day.

  • Johan Hari is my uncle it's true in my vids I say my full name or Twitter him and ask for ben

  • Johann Hari should be kept away from children!

  • Thankyou Johann

  • Fuck me, this guy has it going on.....the world needs people like this!

  • this is international terrorism

  • Comment removed

  • @ everybody playing the numbers game:

    Unfortunately the highly educated and those able to form rational, sensible opinions based upon fact will always be in the vast minority. Numbers do not represent truth.

    Humanity doesn't believe in 99% of the gods it has ever created. Those of us with able to think this through logically just go those few gods further.

  • Hey whats wrong with Slough lol

  • He looks very gayish

  • i just realised, if i want to keep smokin weed and commiting various petty crimes, i should join the catholic church!

  • @xledzepplinx I wouldn't fully commit unless you want to be a child molester as well.

  • @grobo11 take one for the team lol

  • wow im here all on my own and i started clapping haha, see islam and christianity do have something in common, child rape!!

  • the pope's name is joe ratzinger for a reason. he's an ugly dirty pedophile protecting rat!!

  • @NickBFilms . Before you make a comment you should get your facts right, other you look foolish. Now I presume you were st this demonstrion, and if you were not why not. The Demo was very badly attended and I believe not many people have the same opinion as you. I would advise you to take your Cocoa and not be libelling an innocent mam, no doubt you would say these thing about Muslems

  • @ballinora53 im not a racist

  • @NickBFilms" You're not a racist ? 

  • @ballinora53 if u think ur so tough come and say it to my face. instead of being a coward behind ur keyboard

  • @NickBFilms Under what stone will I see you crawl out under.

  • @ballinora53

    The letter that was referenced in the first 1:44 of this video..have you read it?

    I'm curious as to what your reaction for it is. Or, rationalization should I say.

    Go, google it. Grow some fucking guts and google it.

  • @BelfastAtheist  So now you want me to take the word of Johann Hari. Are you serious

  • @BelfastAtheist I have read the letter. The Reason Cardinel Ratzinger wanted these cases to go to Rome ws thst local Clerics were not doing their Job in removing these, also in the case of Fr Murphy and others the Civi athorities did nothing. I thing you are reading the Hitchen's Version of the letter. Now Hitchens did not bother turning to the Protest , and he and Dawkins were to arrest the Pope

  • @ballinora53

    I said it before, I'll say it again; you bore me.

  • @ballinora53 idiot christian

  • @ariana29x  idiot Atheist

  • @ballinora53 wow what a witty response. you are an idiot. that supports a paedophile facilitator.

  • @ballinora53 lol most christians are brainwashed you fowking fag this guy is a legend :D he just pwned u fag

  • @ThereIsAHeavenX take your tablets

  • Is it just me or has Johann become quite...attractive lately? Sure, his argument and his speech is excellent, and it's utterly indisputable, but he is much easier on the eye in recent years! Any good speech is made better by the speaker being pretty!

  • We have plenty of war criminals and human right abusers coming over to Britain.

    we let them come and go, without any justice.

    Why would it be different for the pope who's crimes are so much less, then the others?

  • Much of what Hari says here about the Pope is quite true. It is nevertheless rather sickening to see him and his ilk using blustering indignation about the sex-scandals in the RC Church as a kind of proxy for their actual agenda - which is an aggressive and bigoted form of atheism, and a hatred of ALL religious belief.

  • @silent0watcher Obviously you have never heard anything which Johann has written on Religion. Have you seen any of them use aggression? No, ofcourse not. They use facts and evidence, people like you just call them aggressive because that's all you have left.

  • @MoonundMoon The very first word of your comment says rather a lot about you, doesn't it? You have no idea who I am, and you have no idea what I have read. But for you it is "obvious..blah,blah, blah."

    Try to understand that the world is a big place, and not everyone is going to agree with you about religion. It doesn't mean that those who disagree have to be aggressively shouted down. Those who do oppose freedom of speech and freedom of religion are bigots. It's as simple as that.

  • does anyone know where to find documents that Johann Hari is mentioning? those letters that Ratzinger (supposedly?) wrote to all the bishops about child abuse/rape by priests?

  • @Nuuica I believe it's called "crimen sollicitationis".

  • ... now this is a little more easy on the ear than Dawkins´ own speech ... .

  • One must also look at the real power behind the pope ie the Black pope Adolfo Nicolás Pachón, From Spain Remember Ratzinger is only the face or puppet of the real power.

  • the BIBLE my friends...(REV. 13:4)..".Who is like unto the beast, who is able to make war with him". Do you know why you cant war with him,...because he threatens to not forgive you of your SINS, you are ex-communicated. The papacy has held this over europe and the other nations of the world for nearly 2000 years, has it NOT?. the lawless one is another name of the anti-christ (system of men)..not because he is so evil..but that he is ABOVE THE LAW, do you see that today???...YES! cont..

  • @07braves cont.. PROOF of above the law?..Pope Innocent III (1198-1216), in his inaugural speech, declared, “The successor of St. Peter stands midway between God and man; below God, above man; Judge of all, judged of none” (Hurlbut 1954, 112).

    ANOTHER?..."...the appellation of God had been confirmed by Constantine on the Pope, who being God, cannot be judged by man." Pope Nicholas I, quoted in History of the Councils, vol. IX, Dist.: 96, Can 7, "Satis Evidentur Decret Gratian Primer Para"

  • @07braves more proof of the papacy above all?...[Speaking of the time, about 500 A.D., when the Roman Empire was crumbling to pieces:] "No, the [Catholic] Church will not descend into the tomb. It will survive the Empire . . . At length a second empire will arise, and of this empire the Pope will be the master--more then this, he will be the master of Europe. He will dictate his orders to kings who will obey them"--Andrea Lagarde, The Latin Church in the Middle Ages, 1915,

    (REV. 13:1 BEAST )

  • Sensationalist pap

  • Has anybody else had issues posting this to their Facebook page? It comes up as just a plain URL - not like all the other YouTube videos I've posted - have recently had this happen with one other video recently also ... just wondering if anyone else had this issue.

  • @xenophrenia Yeah, same here :\

  • Who do you think Jesus Christ whould be standing with. The man who coverd up the rape of children or us i solidarity with all thouse raped kids. Awsome point.

  • @BlueGhost85 Matthew 18:6, Mark 9:42 and Luke 17:2 have Jesus' own advice on what to do with those that try to seduce or corrupt kids. I'm no fan of the death penalty but it appears Jesus was in these cases.

  • Turdbogbusters removed comment. @Wurble33 200 000 on the Mall alone! 100 000 the day before in London, 80 000 in Hyde Park, 125 000 in Edinburgh, 65 000 in Glasgow, 60 000 at the beatification mass in Birmingham, 30 000 on the streets of Birmingham.

    Grand total 660 000 people supported the pope vs 5000 max protesters! The popeple have spoken and they don't care about gay rights, they love the pope and his teachings!

  • @wurble33 Mate, what do you expect from a Catholic? They're all delusional, same as any member of any religion.

  • @ThereIsAHeavenX adolf is NOT the best of anything!!!

    Adolf Hitler was a Monster, created by the Catholic Church's prejudice and hatred towards the Jews that was developed long before he was born!!!

  • @SETIat1420MHz lol right right.... now its the catholic churchs fault ..... right anyways u cant judge a church by 1 man my parents are nicest people ever and their catholic they dont go to church or anything but there amazing people they simply believe but live life not over stupidity just how they are i dont think abusing kids is alright... i do not agree but jews are pieces of shit greedy some wont even sit in the same table... i have no respect for them what so ever they are metally sick

  • @SETIat1420MHz oh and im atheist so i could give a fuck less about catholic church but some people are like catholic church should give money to help the needy and thats stupid why should they ? cause most of the needy arent catholic church does help but it doesnt mean its a feeding source ... in some aspect people are wrong... very fucked up in the head i personally think catholic church is shit just like any other but its not such a sick disturbing race like islam or jews

  • @ThereIsAHeavenX i hope someday you will grow up and not become a proud member of the aryan nation...

    Your not an Atheist, your racist views prove that! Your just full of hate!!!

  • @SETIat1420MHz haha okay kid w.e you say your a piece of shit

  • @SETIat1420MHz Wow that's incredible. So how do you explain the slaughter of tens of thousands of Polish and French Catholics? Maybe you should go back to school and look up Hitlers "Lebensraum" idea for modern Germany. Good luck with expanding your intellect by the way.

  • @SETIat1420MHz

    Funny; if you read about his true belief he was effectively an Atheist. No more a Catholic than a rabbit

  • @ChristianEastern Mein Kampf has references to the Christian God time and time again. Perhaps he didn't do what a decent, modern Christian might do - but he talks of his inspiration from God to kill millions of Jews. He was a Catholic. Fact.

  • @PsychoticNeurotic - Mein Kampf only references a vague idea of God whilst occasionally twisting some Christian ideas beyond all recognition. Even that was only because Hitler thought it would get him more votes. Once in power he made no public profession of Christian belief. Hitler wasn't Catholic in any real sense of the word. Fact.

  • @SETIat1420MHz I'm sure you probably mean 'Adolf'......

  • @oscardoodles I wasn't referring to Adolf...

  • What's interesting is that this tripe turned me into a total nonbeliever -- about Johann Hari's article on Gideon Levy.

  • Official Metropolitan Police figure 2000 to 5000 protesters as per the Times newspaper. Half a million turned out to cheer for the pope! This protest was an EMBARASSING FAILURE!

  • @turdbogbuster Actually, 200,000 turned out to see Ratzinger or 4% of british catholics. Only 4% of British catholics took this once in a lifetime opportunity to see their spiritual leader in the flesh. EMBARRASSING FAILURE!

  • Comment removed

  • @turdbogbuster Yeah, bloody secularist's, caring about peoples rights, all peoples rights. Manipulate the figures all you like, 200,000 bigots, 660,000 bigots who cares?

    You're an immoral idiot!

  • WOO i like him!!!

  • Makes my blood boil

  • What's with all the "nazi" bs in the comments here? He was forced to join the Hitler Youth when he was a kid... it's wrong to hold that against him.

    Stick to his real crimes - protecting pedophiles is a serious crime. Making up bullshit charges makes the pope's critics look like ravenous unreasonable ideologues.

  • Dawkins with the video-bomb!

  • English cheering is way different than American cheering... I like it.

  • @ghuegel

    American cheering: "FUCKING COMMUNIST SOCIALIST NAZI!" or "IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST I COMPEL YOU" :D lol

  • I say death penalty. Gas this nazi pedo.

  • Ratzinger needs to get buttfucked. Hard.

  • I can't wait for the Pope to be jailed and the holy war begins. Reason will stand strong! But religious folks sure do love their guns so I have to sweat a little.

  • @megahirosheb - Just what society needs, another idiot...

  • Much better speech than Dawkins, but I would need evidence more than Hari's say-so. If anyone can provide links please mail me, in meantime I will search, thanks

  • @kegzasaurus

    I think the two speeches complement each other.

  • @kegzasaurus

    Well, Google is your friend, but here is a CNN report from yesterday about a deaf abused man suing the pope for covering up his abuse case: watch?v=TTVh-MTXKo4

  • @d3st88 - I could sue a deaf man for not listening to me, until the case is proven it don't mean shit dude.

    Have I offended you or why do you stalk me?

  • @kegzasaurus

    Stalk you? Did I reply to you on another video? If so we are probably just subbed to the same person.

  • @kegzasaurus

    Google, buddy. there is plenty of evidence that the pope knowingly covered up for his pedophile rapist buddies, even moving them to more remote churches where they could find fresh victims and be less likely to be caught.

  • @Robstailey - I can find evidence on google that elvis walked on the moon dude, means nothing...

  • @kegzasaurus

    the pope, in his own letter to every bishop in the world, told them explicitly that cases of child abuse were to be dealt with in "utmost secrecy". he threatened anyone who talked with excommunication and had the child rapists moved so they could continue to rape children in secret. this was all covered already, there is a paper trail in the pope's own handwriting, he doesn't even deny it. this had been in the news for a while now, you have no excuse to be this ignorant. dumbass.
