The Catholic Church claims an exclusivity that it does not possess. Part of exposing that error to the world includes disclosing the rampant personal frauds that are the men claiming to be "alter Christos" on earth. That Ratzinger hid them and continues to hide them exposes the RC organization for what it is...a self-aggrandizing cult.
That has always been the key point for me. I accept that any large organization can be infiltrated by criminals, in this case sexual deviants. However, it's the response that reveals the character of the leaders of that organization.
I watched the documentary "Deliver Us from Evil" recently and was surprised to learn that the Pope was given clemency by Pres. Bush. I believe a Priest would advise any person making a confession, where criminal acts occurred, to admit their guilt to the proper authorities. Yet the RCC has done the opposite when confronted with these criminal acts.
Too true.
