O/T Did the Pope do one to avoid abuse charges?

An interesting read suggesting Ratzinger might have quit as Pope in order to get immunity from possible child abuse charges.
If he is guilty it will finally define the Catholic church as a perverted organisation run by child molesters.

 

You **** him if you want, just because he wars a dress? Not my type. What's the opposite of a *****phile? A geriphile? Genuine question.

I guess if we left it a shor while, in his case it'll be Necrophillia

 

Only in the minds of those looking for a stick to beat it with.

Despite its many flaws and defects, it does a lot of good work.

 

A human being.

 

Yes, like telling the uneducated masses that condoms are evil and subsequently being responsible for millions of deaths? Hurray for the Catholics ...

 

I'd wear a dress all day, every day for a big house on Kemp Road.

Anyone would.

Note. I'm not saying the pope lives on Kemp Road.
If he did I'd have seen him.

 

It's online. It must be true.

 

TBH I wouldn't describe indemic child abuse as a "flaw" or a "defect", but it does question whether many priests are worthy of being considered any better than the likes of Jimmy Saville. And with these connections to Ratzinger there's a strong reason to suspect that an organised *****phile ring (potentially larger than any other) is active in the Catholic church.

 

At least with Saville you got a big gold badge.

Correct me if I'm wrong but all you get with the Catholics is a bit of stale bread and a swig of Blue Nun once a week.

No brainer in my eyes, big gold medal wins hands down.

 

Agreed. Harry Allen's dad didn't speak to him for 5 years after he bacame a hangman on account of his staunch catholic faith.

They haven't exactly covered themselves in glory trying to cover up/whitewash the actions of their perverted brethren in more recent times though.

 

As is, of course, well documented.

Shock horror- organised religion in bent clergy cover up shocker!

 

That wouldn't be anything to do with P.R. though would it?

Aggro - you do realize it was Allen's dad who was the devout catholic don't you?

 

It's funny but when I go past a RC church in Hull at the weekends they appear to be very full.

Either they're all families offering their kids up for molestation, or maybe, just maybe, there is another aspect to that religion.

 

There almost certainly is. It's called Christianity, which for most, in practical terms amounts to a convicted belief in flawless benevolence and the idea of redemption. You should perhaps try it sometime. it may suit you.

 

Politics & Religion are 2 things that should never be argued over. No one ever gets out alive anyway!

 

Forum rule number 2, we don't talk about religion, I can see this thread getting shut down

 

there is - they blow up innocent Protestants in Northern Ireland as well

 

Dutch has closed this thread once, I wonder who re opened it?
Must have been a mod and I'd surprised if it was one of ours.

Got me thinking that has.
