SHOCKER STATEMENT COMING FROM A CHURCH THAT HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH ABUSE: "Pope Francis called for "severe punishment" for pedophiles" Pope Francis called for "severe punishment" for pedophiles on Sunday after new details emerged in Italy of the 2014 death of a six-year-old girl who is alleged to have been thrown from an eighth-storey balcony by her abuser. "This is a tragedy. We should not tolerate the abuse of minors," Francis said, departing from prepared remarks at his weekly Sunday message and blessing to tens of thousands of people in St. Peter's Square. "We must protect minors and severely punish abusers," he said. Though the Catholic Church itself has been rocked by its own abuse scandals, he did not mention them on Sunday as he has in the past. Italians have been shocked as details emerged in the case of six-year-old Fortuna who died in June 2014 after a fall from an eighth-storey balcony in Naples. After re-opening the case, police charged a 43-year-old man with having thrown the girl to her death in a housing block in a rough area of the city after raping her. Police said they suspected he killed her so she would not talk. The man, who has also been accused of molesting other children and is now in prison in Rome, has denied the charges. On Saturday Italian President Sergio Mattarella called for an "ample, rapid and severe" judicial process concerning the case, which has dominated newspapers' front pages for days.

Odd. I would have expected a celebration of pedophilia, from THIS pope.
I think a tragedy is when a meteor streaks down and hits someone on the head, i.e., no one is to blame.
"Don't judge me, it's how I was born."
*SPIT*
How about killing them?
Stupid Pope.
I’m gonna give Papa a break on this one. “Severe punishment”, he called it right this time. No one but another pedophile would want this murdering pedophile to get off easy.
asinine statement...pedophilia was not the churches problem, homosexuality was...the errant priests were after young boys old enough to engage in pleasurable sex, not raping little kids.

There has been a lot of rumbling about how the Pedophile contingent in the Vatican was who ushered in the Socialist Jesuit Pope.

Well I guess according to your own statement as long as “the boys enjoyed it” then all is well, right?????
WRONG! It is WRONG, I don’t care if the Priests are consenting Adults boinking each other in the “rectory”, IT IS STILL WRONG!
It is wrong even if the Boys are older as well, ANY UNDERAGE SEX INVOLVING A PRIEST IS WRONG, and the PRIEST SHOULD BE EXCOMUNICATED/EXECUTED.
If you want you priests to engage in consensual “Temple Secks” why don’t you become a member of one of those Buddhist sects that does just that!
If I interpret your statement correctly, and I hope I didn't, it was one of the most asinine, vicious, arrogant, misguided, filthy, condecending, whatever other bad things that I can think of....statements that have ever appeared on this site.
So when is pope asshat going to condemn mohamhead?
I thought he would have told him to say a couple Hail Marys.
is that your interpretation??? Certainly is not mine, I merely pointed out the difference between pedophilia and homosexuality....I justified neither.

Well, thank you for your clarification.
The Lavendar Mafia is going to let him live a little longer since he didn’t attack the sodomite pedophiles that run the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church has had problems, but to suggest that it’s “shocking” that the Pope is opposed to sexual abuse is anti-Catholic bigotry.
Paragraphs help!

Shooting them right between the eyes works for me. I don’t care about torturing them. Just dispatch them to hell as quickly as possible.
Uh-oh, the Pope just pissed off his new best friends, the muzz.
i thought he was preaching that if it feels good, do it just a week or so ago.
