Exactly! and this is even more evidence that the Catholic church is a harbinger of evil. The Vatican, the elites of the banking and political societies are evil and are the enemies of humanity.
We are in a war, RIGHT NOW. Whether you realize it or not, it is going on right now! WAKE UP!

Pope Benedict XVI, he looks evil. Don't trust a man with small, beady eyes.

So, are the 1 billion catholics happy to follow a leader who advocates child rape? Or is the pope trying hard to destroy catholisism to make way for a new world religion?

Sounds like the pope needs to be hung and the vatican burnt down. What a completely disgusting thing to say. These are definitely not men of god.
Actually, sounds like you have believed the headline and not read the actual story. The pope was quoted as saying what the historical attitude towards child abuse had been in society - he was by no means defending it. If you had actually read that then you may have seen it.
It's a little like the repulsive racial attitudes had been historically in America - by commenting on them it doesn't mean you agree with them.
Well as maybe but considering the hurt this has caused I think the whole idea of giving the info was poorly thought out.
“Pope Benedict XVI also claimed that child pornography was increasingly considered “normal” by society.
Again a viewpoint that he really should not be aligning himself by, whether or not the point may be true it looks like he's excusing it to many, again, poorly thought out OR saying his true feelings..
Who knows but there's far too many children whose lives are ruined thanks to what happened, making a bullet point set of facts in his level of being in charge was for me a very stupid idea.
Bit like a surgeon after losing a patient telling the relative that its a quite normal, happens all the time, but that's life (or not)
Its NOT the sort of thing you want to hear in such a matter of fact way.

You are judging someone by what they look like. I'm sure you may an oil painting but that doesn't mean the rest of us are and it doesn't make you 'discomforting'.... unless of course you have a mental age in the single figures. I'm sorry but that kind of attitude is decades if not centuries out of date.
Yes I am judging someone on how they look. Im soz its the truth. The man is one of the very few peeps in life that really gives me bad vibes...edit on 14-11-2011 by purplemer because: (no reason given)

roman catholic church's pedophile investigator jailed for possessing thousands of child porn images.
A Catholic Church child safety co-ordinator who was in charge of investigating sexual abuse allegations was jailed for 12 months today for internet peadophile offences. Christopher Jarvis, 49, a married father-of-four, investigated historic claims of child abuse, interviewing the victims when they were adults.
