“In fact, it was only abandoned days before Father Murphy died.”

Well isn’t that interesting.
That changes perspective doesn’t it?

Thank you for posting this.

Indeed, it gives every indication of being part of a coordinated campaign against Pope Benedict, rather than responsible journalism.

I figured that was the case, since there seemed to be so many stories all at one time, all saying the same thing.

The Catholic Church survived more than 1800 years before the new york slimses crawled out of the cesspool...I think that they will be here long after they go out of business...which will be soon, hopefully.

The current Pope is falsely accused of malfeasance, forced out, and the next Pope takes his place...And we finally see if Malachy is correct.

Thank you Mount Athos.

I mentioned to my parish priest the story that the BBC ran on speculating that the Holy Father should resign, and I could see the sadness on his face.

I am going to email him this NR article right now.

Now the NY Times is appearing to suggest that perhaps there was a reason why BXVI, unquestionably the greatest theological scholar of his time, was not all that engaged in what he saw as administrative matters.

Satan sees a path to the Pope. This is war.

A 40 year old case against a man who died 12 years ago becomes front page news at the beginning of holy week. How interesting. This couldn’t have anything to do with payback for the Bishop’s stand against Obamacare, could it?

The greater question raised would be how a miscreant like Weakland could stay in a position of authority for so long.

What he was doing was hardly a secret as an out of court settlement was made with a Murphy accuser in 1974 0r 5.

Bambi wants to be the next Pope...obviously, since he’s not even a Catholic, he can’t be...but he wants to get rid of this one and have his own guy, an imposter like himself, elected.

Weakland was a well-known member of the homosexual mafia. He had many friends in high places.

Whatever his virtues, JPII was not much of a leader or even administrator, and he avoided the hard decisions. It was only when JPII became too enfeebled to even pretend to deal with things that Ratzinger could begin to handle them. Since that time, he has been very aggressive against the gay lobby and this has gotten him enormous, insane, bloodthirsty hatred from them - and their friends in the media and the White House.

And so how have ones like Weakland and Bernard Law been treated by Ratzinger after becoming Pope?
