Thanks for a good insight. However, it still was a case of Church heavily intertwined with State. As for pedophile priests, I would like to see a swift persecution in the respective countries of these perverts but by secular authorities rather then resurrection of inquisition for these purposes. It's a shame that certain cardinals chose the Church reputation over the safety of the Catholic faithful, especially children, and kept reassigning pedophiles to different parishes instead of quickly handing them over to authorities. I think the next Pope should definitely address this although I'm absolutely against painting the entire Catholic world in a bad light in light of these shameful scandals. Bad apples could be found anywhere--what's needed is a firm justice for those that violate kids, whether they are found in Catholic Church or outside.
My hope is that the Catholic Church as the oldest Christian Church will have a Pope that will continue all the best of John Paul II legacy--standing up for what's good and right reaching out to people around the world with the message of hope, brotherhood, love and justice.
The state can, and should, punish cases of actual molestation. The Inquisition, on the other hand, can look into the root cause: the neo-pagan near-satanic theology of sexual perversity as a gift from God. Practicing homosexuals should repent and go chaste, or be shamed and defrocked. This is a task that has nothing to do with the criminal law of the secular state, and for a variety of reasons cannot be done by the bishops alone. The Holy Inquisition was designed to rectify such crises. I hope that whoever succeeds Cardinal Ratzinger, who heads the present heir to the Papal Inquisition, will have the good sense to revitalize this honorable office.
