In his most thorough admission of the church's guilt in the clerical sex abuse scandal, Pope Benedict XVI said Tuesday the greatest persecution of the institution 'is born from the sins within the church,' and not from a campaign by outsiders.
The pope should accept his own resignation.
ReplyDeleteUseless until we see convictions and reform.
ReplyDeleteThis may be a start but it needs to end up with civil trials and possible jail time for sexual molestation of children and its organized coverup by the officials of the church. Not just a few dismissals. Only then will they show thay are serious about the crimes the church has committed against the most helpless in society - our children.
ReplyDeleteFuck the fucken fucker!
ReplyDeleteToo little, too late. The bastard knew and kept it quiet until the outside world turned over rock.
ReplyDeleteThe church is being persecuted from within? Thats supose to be the "step in the right direction"? A step in the right direction would be aresting all thouse who abused and were complisent in abuse. A simple sorry doesnt cut it.
ReplyDeleteSo he accepted the resignatins of a a few priests who admit to molesting or protecting those who molested children... has he turned them over to the local authorities? Nothing but PR spin and bold faced lies.
