Pope willing to excommunicate Catholic Priests accused of pedophilia, turn them over to authorities
examiner.com ^ | April 1, 2010 | RĂ©ne Girard

Posted on 04/01/2010 10:36:21 AM PDT by RGirard

In a surprising, yet reassuring turn of events, Pope Benedict XIV, the head of the Catholic Church has announced that he is willing to excommunicate any and all Catholic Priests who have been rightfully accused of pedophilia while in service to the Catholic Church.

"It is my sworn duty to uphold the tenants of the faith which rest securely on the never changing, holy scripture, which speaks succinctly, yet passionately, against sexual sin within the body of Christ." Pope Benedict wrote in a letter addressed to "Fellow Catholics, Christians, and citizens of this great planet." ...

So you think you’re a lone voice in the wilderness?

I’m not even going to bother responding to you anymore. You’re like an annoying biting fly buzzing around.

As I said, I cannot, do not, and will not support slander, witch hunts, and falsehoods from the militant faggots who run the New York Times.

Your apparent comfort with that set of malefactors does NOT indicate integrity. Quite the contrary, in fact.

The Catholic church is as silent and un-actioned as Islam was the minutes, hours and days after 9/11.

That is utter and complete nonsense. It is a falsehood of the worst sort.

I see no integrity in your posts. Quite the contrary, in fact.

Once I clicked the link and read it, it sure stunk like a feeble attampt at a joke.

And the author posted it here. Hey, noob - some things are not good joke material, and this thread is an illustration of that principle.

Interesting how a satirical article caused such a passionate response.

Blind faith will do that to you...

Interesting how some folks continue to believe the slander, witch hunts, and falsehoods from the militant faggots in the leftist media.

Lack of integrity will do that to you.

It's really sad how many people are utterly blind to the fact that the Church is already doing the right thing

Yeah right - The NY Times kept a German priest working with children after being convicted for molestation for 30 years until the Catholic Church came to the rescue and suspended him in mid-march 2010.

Mid-March 2010 --- We are surely in the end-times.

But then what could they do it was the NY Times that molested all those boys in seven countries - every good Catholic in America knows that because a man in a dress told them so.

Unfortunately, the European catholics, what is left of them have never seen the NY Times and apparently aren't such boobs as the ones on here, still think the Catholic Church and the pedophile priests with their cardinals and popes enablers are to blame.

Of course they did not hire a PR firm for Europe,apparently considering them a lost cause, but they did for the American flock. They are getting certainly getting their money's worth.

I guess all these calls were slander, witch hunts, and falsehoods?

Church’s new sex abuse hotline flooded with calls
http://www.ethiopianreview.com/news/50292
On the first day it was operational, a new hotline for sexual abuse victims launched by Germany’s Catholic Church on Tuesday received some 1,000 calls as the church struggles to recover from allegations of clerical abuse.

I love the way some supposed conservatives believe every word published in the leftist media ... when it reinforces their apparent biases and prejudices.

Tells me everything I need to know about those supposed conservatives.

You go ahead and keep on hanging out with leftists. It's very revealing.

I was wondering how much rent the tenants of the faith have to pay.

You are getting yourself tied up like a pretzel - attacking faggots who write stuff and defending faggots who molest Catholic kids.

Integrity - ha ha!

Since all of those sources are "tainted" maybe you will listen to a Catholic Cardinal?

Don't worry, amigo.

The Muslims will solve the problem of your pedophile priests in Europe. They'll execute everyone of them and maybe you too, if you're not quick enough to convert.

As the idiots in your post-Christian, secular hell-hole commit demographic suicide and gradually surrender to Islam you'll see your loathed Catholic Church return once more to the catacombs and out of your line of sight. Won't that be a relief!!

Nevertheless, as your new Muslim overlord holds his scimitar across your throat and screams "convert or die", the thought may fleetingly cross your mind that it might not have been such a good idea after all to persecute the one organization which could have saved you from this hell.

Still, you'll get used to sharia in Spain pretty quickly. Everyone does.

Dedication to evil will do it, just a stronger shade of lack of integrity.

I used to hold many wrong, erroneous and evil beliefs. But I thirsted for truth, and rejected my preivious beliefs. Those who want to cling to evil are driven just like this guy.

As much as I hate Islam I must admit that at least they don’t hide their systemic issues with pedophiles. In this case, Islam is very transparent about their evil unlike the Catholic church.
