It's no surprise that the corporate media is ignoring the scandal that completely eclipses anything in the Catholic Church.

US media 'hounding' Vatican over sex

The Vatican's official response was "Not tonight, dear, I have a headache."

"I am not a crook."--the pope

[concerned about politics]

Cardinal Maradiaga suggested that the American media were motivated by a desire to attack the Catholic Church because it opposes abortion, capital punishment and euthanasia while supporting a Palestinian homeland.

Ut Oh! Don't they read their Bibles? GEEZZ......

Joel 3:2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, (Armageddon) and will plead with them there for My people and for My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted My land.

How assisine! How dare you! Non Catholics don't have squat to say about corruption!When you're as holy as Pope John Paul 11,then you can talk!

[Lady In Blue]

It's amazing to me,how many non-Catholics think they have a right to comment,one way or another about the problems of the Catholic church - especially in light of all the same sex marriages,heresies,women ministers,bishops and gay adoptions they permit!

[gcruse]

It's 'asinine'. One ess. It's just that when coverups are discussed, Nixon comes to mind.

[Lady In Blue]

I need your spunkiness on this one!

[Lady In Blue]

Cover-ups? Prove it! I think you owe the Holy Father an apology for the slander.

Great.

The world is starved for moral heroes, and these guys turn the opportunity into Roman seppuku.

We got to pick on Clinton, and even he chose a woman over 18.

Everyone has a right to say whether or not to say that sexual misconduct with a minor is legal or not.

Er - all those boys who have been molested, many needlessly because of the "shuffling" performed by Bishops instead of performing their moral duty and calling the cops, are my American brethren.

I have every right to comment on it.

[marajade]

Cover-ups?

Come on... You have hundreds victims of abuse coming out of the woodwork claiming it happened as much as 30 years ago. Are those hundreds of victims all lying?

The guy at the top is never responsible.

How can you put x42 and Pope John Paul II in the same category?

And those churches are....?
You'll have to admit, priests molesting young boys is really pushing it.

I used a key board? I'm sorry, but Im not Catholic. The pope doesn't mean that much to me. I do think he seems like a nice enough fella, though. I kinda like the old guy.

I don't get it. Are you saying that John Paul II was actively involved in a coverup of American priests and bishops who were sexually abusing those under their charge? If that is what you are saying, please provide the evidence for that charge. It is certainly something I would like to see and would have profound implications for many in the Church.
