SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) Pope Francis accused victims of Chiles most notorious pedophile of slander Thursday, an astonishing end to a visit meant to help heal the wounds of a sex abuse scandal that has cost the Catholic Church its credibility in the country.

After two great Popes, I guess we were due this one to remind us of our fallen nature.

You boycott the NFL, but might want to consider boycotting Rome, if you get my drift.
To: OldSmaj
Yup, that was my reaction.

I have thought the same exact thing. As for these specific remarks, my wife, who has worked for the church for 30 years, will not be pleased.

Who can be surprised by this? They committed the ultimate sin, they cost the Vatican money.

He may be the last Pope. According to the predictions of St. Malachy, he is.
Romulus Petras.
And no more room for statues atop the collenade.
