Recently, the Associated Press reported that a letter surfaced from 2001 in which the current pope, Pope Benedict XVI, praised a French bishop for his cover up of a pedophile priest in his parish.

He's talking about Cardinal Castrillon-Hoyos praising the bishop for not breaking the seal of confession, right?

Right.

The guy sounds like he caught the tail end of a news item on the abuse scandals while he was channel-surfing and decided to write an editorial about it.

He has no idea what he's talking about but it's a fine example of the opinionated ignorance which is currently going viral among certain sections of the community.
