Bass Ackwards.
If this Pope were implicated and taken down, the Church would be saved.
great point. just saying it would lose lots of members and have a horribly tarnished name around the world.
I wonder if Benedict was blackmailed to retire. Probably for him hooked up with a hooker and recorded it all. I don’t remember his name, but it was a former FBI guy who said that President Bush Senior always used to do that to politicians so he could blackmail them.
