what a joke ! and Catholics are still following this pope????did any one know ...?

Question

that the current Pope Ratzinger got diplomatic immunity from president Bush, because Ratzinger was to oversee the child molestation cases but swept them under the rug ! this automatically gave him an indictment acording to the law as he aided the criminals rather then the victims!

CARL - I AM FROM EUROPE , you dope!

I saw a documentary called "deliver us from Evil"!
OSCAR nominated documentary on pedophile Father Oliver O'grady that exposes the corruption inside the Catholic church that allowed the sexual abuse of countless children ,some as young as 9 months old! one of theeee sickest things I have ever seen! Ratzinger was in chrage of fixing the problem!but he wouldn't take a good long look at this before you judge me , just because I bring it to your attention!
there are clips of CNN's Paula Zahn in it as well!
please check out this film ,it will break your heart for sure!

Answer 1

Well, I think legally, yes, Ratzinger should be held accountable if this is true. I haven't really followed these stories closely as the peretrators should definitely be held accountable and go through the legal system. What other profession can you violate someone and not do the time? It's disgusting....

Answer 2

I don't know about diplomacy but certainly the Catholic church has a lot to answer for. The last pope John Paul II never had much to say about the abuse scandals yet they want to make him a saint. Go figure. The good news is that it's costing them hundreds of millions of dollars and probably millions of customers. As a former Catholic I can only hope that the Catholic church withers and dies.

Answer 3

Pastor Billy says: what a joke the American legal system is which revolves around greedy little lawyers and lawyer appointed judges all wanting more and more monetary compensation. The Pope is a foreign citizen who is not responsible for the individual sin of other persons. I think what is criminal is how the legal system in America puts limits on criminal and civil litigation for governmental institutions such as school systems and yet wishes to bankrupt all Catholic dioceses. Is it a conspiracy? one does wonder.

If I was to commit a crime my employer would not be held responsible.

Answer 4

I sort of thought all Heads of State got diplomatic immunity unless we were at war with them, or something. And wouldn't the Pope have to have been convicted of the crime anyway before the United States refused him diplomatic immunity.
I can understand you not liking a Pope, or Catholics; but I think what you have asked is sort of an insult to our intellect.

Answer 5

What sort of person uses the tragic fact that children were molested to score cheap points on YA ?

Answer 6

SOURCES????????????????????

YOU are more likely to molest than a priest is.

An estimated one in 20 teenage boys and adult men sexually abuse children. 77% are married.

CAMDEN, S.C. (ABP) -- Another Southern Baptist minister has been arrested on child sex-abuse charges, this time for sending pornographic photos of himself to what he thought was a 14-year-old girl.

The Southern Baptist Convention has been under pressure in recent months to stop sexual predators in the 16 million-member denomination. Victims advocates are calling for a nationwide investigation, particularly into allegations that church officials perpetuate abuse by covering up sex offenses of ministers. SBC leaders have expressed sympathy but insist enforcement efforts, such as a national registry of offenders, is impractical given the autonomy of local congregations and the lack of a denominational hierarchy.

Recent sex-abuse scandals in Tennessee, Missouri, Oklahoma and Kentucky have revealed a number of Baptist churches led by ministers accused of abuse. In the largest case of its kind ever in Missouri, a music minister was sentenced to 20 years in prison for many counts of sexual abuse against children in churches spread across Missouri and Kentucky. At the 25,000-member Bellevue Baptist Church in Cordova, Tenn., a longtime assistant pastor was dismissed after admitting to sexually molesting his young son.

Last year, an SBC Executive Committee leader was arrested in Oklahoma City for offering to have sex with a male undercover police officer. Police arrested Lonnie Latham, pastor of South Tulsa Baptist Church in Tulsa, Okla., on a charge of offering to engage in a lewd act. Latham, who supported SBC efforts to get gays to renounce their sexual attractions, resigned from the church and the powerful Executive Committee.

Ogle, who is married and has two sons, attended Fruitland Baptist Bible Institute, a conservative Bible school in Hendersonville, N.C., whose most famous graduate is Atlanta megachurch pastor Charles Stanley.

Answer 7

You Americans are really pathetic, there are other countries in the world and the pope is the head of another nation.

Take your so called democracy and justice for all and go to hell.

Yours is the most immoral and violent nation in the world and you dare tell others how to behave.

Shame on you.

Murderers of the innocent and seducers of innocent souls your judgment will be severe indeed.


"The floor of hell is covered with the skulls of priests."
St John Chrysostom

My Catholic faith is not dependent on the morality of priests, bishops and even popes. I know a lot of them were and are really bad.
My faith is in Jesus and in the Church He founded.

All I said of the US is also true of all western Europe.
