Actually, such a thing wouldn't be nearly as appropriate as Cardinal Mahoney, Archbishop Weakland, Bishops Clark, Hubbard, and McCormick and many others of that ilk appearing in sack-cloth and ashes on national television, begging forgiveness for what they've done--and then stepping down.

That would be good, too, but the sore will fester as long as BXVI ignores it, or thinks it's a media conspiracy.

Your criticisms of a Pope who was named 8 hours ago are laughably pathetic.

You're obviously unhappy with your new boss. It's a crying shame, deacon, it really is.

Pope Benedict XVI needs to make a sincere PUBLIC apology:

Dear People of the World,

Today I apologize for the imprudent, nay, diabolic, acts of the hierarchy of our Church over the last60 years.

We knew that homosexual men would molest teenage boys, but we let them into our seminaries anyhow.

In atonement for this sin, I hereby direct ALL dioceses in the world to resume actively screening out homosexuals from Holy Orders, and to begin removing ALL priests who are known to have been homosexually active in the last ten years.

N.B.: If you are a homosexual bishop, this includes you. Good luck in your new job.

Sincerely,

Pope Benedict XVII, The Hammer.

You are being pinged because you previously requested to be added to my personal "orthodox Catholics" ping list. If you would like to be added or removed, please send me a FReepmail. --Dr. Brian Kopp (Polycarp IV)
