More clerical sex abuse dismays Pope

Germany's top bishop briefed the Pope on the spiralling cases of clerical sex abuse in the pontiff's native Germany on Friday, and said Benedict encouraged him to pursue the truth and assist the victims.

    More of the same.

    It appears the Pope hasn't done a whole helluva lot to correct this abuse.

    That would solve a lot of the problems if clergy were allowed normal sex lives. All this could be done with one stroke of the Pope's pen, but that won't happen.

    He'll continue to do what he is doing, people will will get more disgusted and leave until the whole thing implodes.

    How the fuck can that fat assed white robed twit in Rome keep on claiming he is 'dismayed'?


    How many times does he need to hear that catholic priests are buggering little boys before he figures out that there is a huge fucking problem with the catholic church? The whole men only as priests, religious discrimination against gays and lesbians, enforced celibacy celibacy of priests and not allowing them to marry, the idiotic stand against birth control


    The Catholic Church is just Fucking Stpuid

    Actually, it specifically states in the Bible that any religion that imposes celibacy on its clergy is committing an evil. It specifically states that a Bishop should be a married man, who has demostrated that he is a good husband, father and member of the community.

    1 Timothy 3
    1This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.

    2A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

    3Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

    4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

    5(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)


    1 Timothy 4
    1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

    2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

    3Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.


    The forbidding of marriage was an out and out cash grab. No children, so all your money goes to the Church when you kick the bucket. It also nullifies the idea of not being allowed to eat meat on Friday, which was likely a cash grab too. A wealthy clergyman(bishop and up), friend of one, or family member had an interest in a fishing fleet...good way to generate revenue.

    It's bigging to look that it would be a lot easier to list Catholic Clergy who were NOT in the scandal than to hunt for the guilty ones.
