@WorldBibleUnion454

Perhaps you are right.

But I would rather be a moron than a filthy paedophile, so-called priests.

I hope you have not been around any children without supervision.

[fred19992010]

You people are criticising the Pope?

The Catholic Church says the Pope is INFALLIBLE.

That means nothing the Pope says or does is wrong. It means the Pope CANNOT do wrong, even if he wanted to.

The Catholic Church says the Pope is the Vicar Of Christ on Earth.

As far as the Catholic Church is concerned, if the Pope covered up child rape, then it IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO, since the Pope can do no wrong.

[rochey1010]

In the bible it says something about "a wolf in sheep's clothing masquerading as good" Say hello to the wolf!

This pope oversaw the investigation into the child sex abuse scandal years before he became pope....He lied...denied and covered up the sex abuse...He also housed pedophile priests in his Vatican country and hid behind canon law....Are we still in the middle ages...why do they STILL have their own country and their own law?

They are blaming everyone but themselves :((

[SuperSurvivor777]

CATHOLICABUSESURVIVORSNI--- can someone tell the americans that the island of ireland is two countries . one having 26 counties called the irish reppublic governed by the irish goverment. who remained neutral in ww2. and northern ireland 6 counties part of the uk governed by the british goverment at 10 downing street london. which has never been exposed for its child sex abuse of children in parishes and in childrens homes across northern ireland .there is a sham cover up inquiry under way .

[dave2806]

this pope has a huge amount to answer for , he has covered up more than a woman in Afghanistan ! if he said "good morning " to me i would have to look out of the window before i could say " yes " !

[just1inchrist]

Firstly the Pope didn;t cover up abuse , It was lazy bishops who weren't doing there job properly. Pope Benedict has worked hard to rid the church of this evil. It has been found that only 2% of all priests have been found guilty .Compare this to other professions and the figure rises considerably. You can't tarnish all priests with the same brush .Let God be there judge they will have to answer for their sins.

[JPI280978]

@just1inchrist In reality....every Bishop in the world was ORDERED to conceal evidence, refuse to cooperate with police & protect the abusers....by Ratzinger & his subordinates, who intentionally orchestrated the global cover-up. There is hard copy evidence of this.

There is far more the '2%' of priests involved globally, as it goes back over 1000 years. Even Archbishop FUlton Sheen is guilty of personally witnessing & knowingly concealing sex abuse......

[opsvideo2008]

Towards the end of this video, the lady presenter asks this question..."Is the abuse by priests a spiritual or civil problem? Tell us what you think. " First of all, let it be made very clear that it is not just a general or physical abuse of children but a sexual pedophilic abuse of defenceless children. And any fool will be able to tell you it is not a spiritual or civil problem but A CRIMINAL OFFENCE for which the guilty priests should be sent to jail.

It's a matter of time. All the catholic cults will be judged. All the scandals are heard all over the world. Soon they will pay the price :)

[Clairemorris1000]

@elleno1957 no,they are not. I am a catholic and the "catholic church" are religous because they are catholic....understand? and we are not "corrupt" and we are not enemies of the public we do a lot to help people, do me a favour and get a life,ok?

[k3304]

let's go after the jewish rabbi's

[k3304]

the jewish media keeps covering up child abuse by jewish rabbi's . Also Planned Parenthood has been covering up for decades

[19lfm12]

@k3304 Funny thing.....the vast amount of literal & vicarious control of global media by persons collaborating with Opus Dei, especially in the news field.......

Such control can come via well placed talent, executives, investors, stock ownership, membership on board of directors, and.....debt ownership via banking & finance institutions.

...all of which are the choice province of the followers, cooperators & collaborators of Opus Dei...who need not be Catholic....or even Theists:)

[k3304]

@19lfm12 , let me guess, your bigotry comes from the fact your a leftist who disagrees with the church on gay rights and abortion . Am i close on that ? But, you also let go the fact that Planned Parenthood covers up child abuse everyday, but youre OK with that because you agree with PP's tenents.

[19lfm12]

@k3304 The big three classic scapegoats of...servants of Satan:

1) women

2) Jews

3) Homosexuals

"Yes, let's paint something evil about each of them, founded upon lies or half-truths - & use them as a distraction for the simple, so they will not pay attention to the evil that we do.....in God's Name".

Catholic Clerical Sex Abuse is the murder of body AND soul, making it far worse then abortion ever could be. Those who do, enable & support the abusers & enablers serve their master well.....

[k3304]

@19lfm12 , i think you forgot that Catholics hate the sin but love the sinner. It's sort of like when someone continually does things bad against you, you wait until they repent/sorryness for their disgressions against you. As for Jews, i think Catholics actually WORSHIP a Jew. As for women, in most societies men are the breadwinning spouse and for myself i try to be "equal" to my girlfriend, but we are very different, arent we ?

[19lfm12]

@k3304 1) That phrase has been overused as a clever ruse for racism & oppression

2) Instead of lying, try reading history -or writings of certain popes & 'saints'.

a) Jews have been wrongly blamed for the death of Christ as de facto doctrine for centuries & officially persecuted by the Vatican

b) Women have been treated like shit

c) Gays have been unfairly made into self-hating social pariahs via de facto doctrine - 100% contrary to the Gospel!

[k3304]

@19lfm12 ,,isnt it a fact that you have an "agenda" against the Catholic church and not the child molesting rabbi's who further moleste without the scope of scrutinity of the New York Times ? Arent those jewish children worthy ? And what about the child 14 year old under Planned Parenthood who don't have to document who the "father" is ? Where is your values at ? Oh, i get it, it's all about one segment whereas the other children don't count !

[19lfm12]

@k3304 The topic is: Catholic Clerical Sex Abuse & the organized global coverup orchestrated by the Vatican. Whatever rabbis or PP may or may not have done is not part of that equation. And neither of those claim to represent much less to be Christ.

Rabbis are a tiny numerical minority of humanity; ditto for PP. Neither can possibly be equated in global scale, influence or spiritual effect to the Vatican.

You are following an Opus Dei script....

[k3304]

@19lfm12 , the sheer number of paedofile priests is even smaller. 20 years ago (before zero tolerance) it was 800 "alleged" cases in the US in 1980. Today, under zero tolerance, it is a grand total of 6 against 40,000 priests. Over 7 months the AP has found 2570 cases in the public school system.

[19lfm12]

@k3304 As most Catholic clerical abuse cases were NOT REPORTED OUT OF FEAR OF THE CHURCH, the true numbers are much higher......

Many abuser priests were transferred to the missions, where they continued to abuse. Ppl in 3rd world countries simply did not have the ability to speak up & complain & like the rest of the world, if they did they were ignored, rebuked or punished.

Go back to your Opus Dei cell,.......

[k3304]

@19lfm12 , i will agree with you that even until recently that medical science is now beginning to understand paedofilia as a lifelong illness. The Catholic church was part of the old standard thinking that the (2%) priests would come out of it and change. Even cops, fireman, public school teachers and rabbi's are paedos !!

[19lfm12]

@k3304 LIES!!! The Vatican knew centuries ago of the problem of clerical pedophilia & that the abusers needed to be expelled from the clergy for the good of all! The 1917 Code of Canon Law is proof - based upon previous standards of Canon Law going back centuries. Then we have documentation of clerical sex/pedo scandals going back over 1000 years.

Lying & blame-shifting are the work of the Devil, & not of God!

[k3304]

@19lfm12 , paedofile abuse has been going from rabbi's, Planned Parenthood (which still goes on) and the general public. No one really knew what the extent of abuse was and you know it.

[19lfm12]

@k3304 The Vatican has existed since 325 AD. It sheer size & scope over many centuries & its hegemony over ppl is far more then PP ever could pretend to be. Priest culture is systemically grounded in abuse: dominant Vs submissive. They are trained to view themselves as a demi-god caste: a law unto themselves. Many view the laity as toys to be used & abused.

Thus, lacking belief in the Gospel, much less fear of God - there have been many abuser priests & bishops over the centuries.

[k3304]

@19lfm12 , thanks for the history of the "Rock" which is the Catholic church. But, is the abuse of the USA public school system or Planned Parenthood or jewish rabbi's any different than any other small child being abused ? You dismiss those innocent children. Why not let's talk about them , too ? Esp the 2700 sex cases every year of the USA public school system. My advice is to view the rabbi's abuse of jewish children.

[19lfm12]

@k3304 The Roman Catholic Church is NOT the 'rock' which Christ referred to; rather it is Himself & faith in Him which is the true foundation of Christian faith, as asserted in the New Testament.

The scam to divert attention away from the Catholic clergy sex abuse crisis is the work of Opus Dei & the Legion of Christ...who do not serve God. You are following in their mode....

[k3304]

@19lfm12 , escuse me if you havent got the Bibilic reference that is was Jesus telling Peter that it is upon this "rock" i will build my church.

[19lfm12]

@k3304 For those capable of READING & coherent thought......that the rock/foundation of the 'church' is Christ Himself is made very explicit in the Gospels & Epistles.

For all its efforts at mistranslation & 'editing' of Scripture, the Vatican did not succeed in completely twisting God's word. While it has tried.....God always wins the cosmic chessgame.

And He would not have founded a supernatural 'family' of all who try to live the Gospel & believe in Jesus....upon a frail mortal.

[19lfm12]

@k3304 No...Scripture affirms many times over that Jesus alone is the 'rock'/foundation upon which He would build His Ekklesia - & faith in Him. He affirms this himself & it is clarified in the Epistles.

..despite clever mistranslation & editing by the Vatican.

The words Jesus spoke were in Aramaic, NOT Greek. Thus any allusion to words is Greek is not original. The Gospels were originally written in Aramaic & Hewrew - NOT Greek!

[JPI280978]

@k3304 Newsflash:

In the US there are some 10,000 KNOWN victims of Catholic Clerical Sex Abuse..........now, what about all of those who suffered in silence? The real number is far higher.

[19lfm12]

@k3304 By your obedience to the blame-shifting script of Opus Dei, you show who your masters are, de facto.

The topic is: sex abuse of minors by Catholic clerics, over centuries & its organized intl. coverup. The Vatican & its Administrators claim to speak for God & even to be Christ, literally. Rabbi's & public school teachers do not; nor are their numbers & global influence anywhere near that of the Catholic Church.

Opus Dei controls much of media in many countries; literally & tacitly.

[k3304]

@19lfm12 , dude, i just want to open up EVERY CHILD who's ever been abused and you believe that Jewish children dont.

The cover up has really been the Jewish owned media who has covered up every child who has been sodomized in a synagouge

your agenda rejects jewish children

scumbag

[19lfm12]

@k3304 The agenda you are following is that of Opus Dei, which is not of God & completely incompatible with the Gospel.

In the real world, major media is owned and/or controlled (literally or vicariously) by Opus Dei & the Legion of Christ - & their secular ancillaries.

Sex abuse by priests/bishops is far worse then that done by anyone else: as the abusers are believe to speak for & to literally BE Christ by believers. The Church has taught this for centuries....

[19lfm12]

@bigchoonage In positions of great power & absolute authority, sex.......deviant sex.....is a drug. It is an expression of the power:

Using the innocent & powerless as sex toys.

[19lfm12]

@bigchoonage The problem is that organized religion has very little to do with God - or what Jesus really taught - and everything about enforcing power & hegemon over ppl, using God as a medium of control. Tis observable from history.

Power is a drug. Ppl with great & nearly absolute power want a greater & greater high. So sex as an expression of power over others follows. There is part of the answer to your question in re priests: rape & systemic abuse as power.

[justonewatcher]

WOW,I am married to a catholic women from South America.This is not an American problem.This is a CATHOLIC problem.These priests are PEDOPHILES,Not HOMOSEXUALS .HOMOSEXUALS That i have known are wierd to me ,Yet not PEDOPHILES.The Catholic Church has damaged the balance of SANITY AND RELIGION IN THE ENTIRE WORLD! I pitty thier souls! The issue is the CHILDREN and the DAMAGE to thier future and everyone they come in CONTACT with.

[just1inchrist]

@justonewatcher This is where you are wrong you say the Catholic church has damaged sanity and religion in the entire world- let me tell you it is not the church it is a small minority of fake priests who are against the church that have caused this evil. Let God be their judge.

[just1inchrist]

Let God be their judge.

[frbjoernLA]

@justonewatcher What can we say to that? The Holy Ghost through infallible Scriptures teaches us clearly that Bishops and Deacons should be the husbands of one wife, 1 Timothy 3:1-13 and Titus 1:5-7. The Holy Spirit tells us that one of the signs of Apostasy will be: "forbidding them to marry and commanding them to abstain from meats " 1 Tim. 4:3.. Saint Paul asks the question: " am I mot allowed to travel with a wife, as the other Apostles" Not all Catholics enforce celibacy on its clergy.

[anddihier]

@justonewatcher Amen...you are so right...ty

[Aniwazoa]

With all these sexual abuse scandals coming from the Catholic Church it makes me wonder if the Pope was at one point an child abuser himself...

[19lfm12]

@Aniwazoa "it makes me wonder if the Pope was at one point an child abuser himself..."

We know that he enabled abuser priests & orchestrated the global coverup by the bishops. So your conjecture may not necessarily be unfounded......

And something of that devastating magnitude may be behind the extreme level of denial & damage control.

[sketto]

How can we be sure that priests aren't still raping children? What has been done to ensure this Catholic Church supported rape is over?

[MsCampobasso]

What about the protestant ministeres and the jewish rabbis'? Case of Rabbi Lewis Brenner (Convicted of child molestation)..and Rabbi/Cantor Sidney Goldenberg (Convicted of molesting children, 1st complaints came in 1971, he was finally convicted in 1997. Case of Cantor Joel Gordon, Rabbi Ephraim Goldberg, Rabbi Yitzchak Cohen, Rabbi Israel Grunwald, Rabbi (Alan J.) Shneur Horowitz, Rabbi Israel Kestenbaum, Rabbi Ze'ev Kopolevitch, Rabbi Baruch Lanner...on & on.

[19lfm12]

@MsCampobasso This blame shifting campaign to distract from the sex crimes of Catholic priests & Bishops - attempting to pin blame on Jews- is nothing but immoral damage control! This effort is a project of Opus Dei & the Legion of Christ/Regnum Christi, with Fr. Jonathan Morris, LC as the point man.

The last time I checked, rabbis do not claim to speak for God nor to act as & represent Christ. Hence abuse by Catholics clerics is far more serious then that done by anyone else!

[k3304]

@MsCampobasso , thats because the jews own the news media like the NY Times and the Boston Globe. You'll have to google in the molesting rabbi's and you'll be lucky their on page 52 of the newspaper.

[19lfm12]

@k3304 Actually Opus Dei along with their equally evil twin, the Legion of Christ/Regnum Christi, have far more control (both literal & vicarious) over media in the US & globally, the "the Jews" ever could have.

Of course they point fingers at 'the Jews', just as their father before them did in the Middles Ages, as scapegoats - deflecting away from their own far worse sins.

Opus Dei & the LC/RC serve Satan, yet pretend to be clothed in light.....

[IceSurfbumb]

The popes poop pushers should be sent to Iran . Pedophiles rule the worlds sheep .

[90210lalaland]

Isn't it ironic, that everytime there is a focus and a media blitz on Catholic Priest sexual abuse, Israel is carrying out air attacks on Gaza? ... This is becoming so obvious and predictable. Focus should also be put on Jewish Rabbis, who according to documentaries (even on Youtube®) have a higher occurrence. We should not condone sexual abuse / molestations etc. at any level - the perpetrators should be put in prison for life, or executed.  In the interim ..

[anddihier]

He coverd up sin and should answer for it...there are way, way too many molesters in this church system..this isnt a faith to follow...they need to be thrown down..as in the book of Rev.17...they are the false prophets is why the truth is coming out about them...they are evil

[just1inchrist]

Let the authorities deal with this evil and God be their judge.

[anddihier]

@just1inchrist Don't you read in scripture...the saints will be the judges????

[IceSurfbumb]

First priest I see I'm going to pound the fuck out of the piece of shit.

There all pedophiles

[BobCrane787]

@IceSurfbumb You wouldnt happent to be a veteran of the 13th SS Honorguard?

[MichaelnChristine]

@IceSurfbumb That comment makes you as sick as them....

[Erbstank]

it's about time the Church issued a moratorium banning celibacy among its clergy, instead all priests and nuns must be made to get married or face immediate excommunication

hunger for sex and food is an inherent biological need in our species, no amount of prayer can indefinitely have our natural primal needs suppressed

rampant pedophilia in church is a living testament celibacy is a scam

lets stop kidding each other and put an immediate end to this time old perverted Catholic monstrosity

[MichaelnChristine]

@Erbstank Horniness would cause him to get a hooker, not fuck a little boy. Horniness doesn't lead to pedophilia anymore then it leads to rape. In early sexual development we all go through the self curiosity phase, if feelings of horror and guilt internalize you get a pedophile. Most pedos don't sodomize. They make the children touch them. It is the sexual behavior of a 13 year old, which most of them still are inside, they never grew up. It doesn't excuse the action, but getting married?

[IceSurfbumb]

Poop pushing pope HaHa

No god to punish this poop pushing pope or his Nazi palls.

Give him to Iran

[lkquad10]

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. This Pope was also involved with Hitler. No it is time to name him a heretic and find a new one. This have been going on for far to long. To many church leaders have been doing wrong for far to long. Not to mention the Vatican bank holdings were involved with the Italian bribery in the past. How much are they involved today with the banking scandals. I do believe that the truth will set them free.

[YentaY0]

@lkquad10 Involved with Hitler? Popes must talk to all kinds of vermin. You would do well not to hurl scandal at him. Your remarks are visible to all powers, seen and unseen.
