One of the people in my Bible Study group was very upset about this -- she is a convert and her whole family is coming to her house to watch this.

CNN hates this country, CNN hates the Holy Father. There is nothing new here, just the same old falsehoods endlessly repeated.

Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of Thy Mercy.

CNN personality Richard Quest was busted in Central Park early yesterday with some drugs in his pocket, a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals, and a sex toy in his boot, law-enforcement sources said.

Quest, 46, was arrested at around 3:40 a.m. after a cop spotted him and another man inside the park near 64th Street, a police source said.

People need to remember who still owns CNN. Ted Turner, an avowed atheist.

And as I recall, he's really got it in for the Catholic Church. More so than for any other religion. So his 'baby', CNN, doing a hit piece on the Pope isn't a surprise.

Am watching this program now. Interesting...concerned the Popes signiture seems to have authorized movement of these Priests and that he was aware.

It was stated...”The Pope was not the villin...but neither has he been the hero....He was simply a part of the system in the Catholic church. He could have taken decissive action rather than dragging his feet.” It does seem the Church naturally wanted to avoid any scandel....most would. But it appears this certainly went on too long.

Well as I see it the vastness of the system within the Catholic church moves much like our Government...very very slow.... It takes forever to deal with problems because of so much red tape and the cannon laws involved.

It does appear Benedict approached Pope Paul with his great frustrations about dealing with the pedophile Priests and the Cannon laws which were in the way of doing what he wanted to do about it all. Pope Paul gave Benedict the authority to pursue these cases....and he did just that...once he could side step the cannon laws.

So it does appear Benedict did indeed move as he could to address these Priests within the legalities of the Church he could operate in.

From the program it also appears these cannon laws have been changed so that action can be taken within the church now, so that there will no longer be a cover to these Priests.

I did not find this program to be offensive to those of the Catholic faith, it is pretty apparent Benedict did much behind the news media to change things so that they might be able to deal directly with these problems...how be it taking much time to get to that place.

Further it appears the Bishops themselves did much of the “cover-up” and with that in mind they should indeed bare their part of the responsibility, which allowed further children to be abused. So they are far more guilty than the Pope.

This is my take based on the program.

the clinton, castro, communist news network? I’m not surprised here. One of the reasons why their ratings keep going down.

CNN can’t report the truth. All they know how to do is dig for dirt and make up a story for ratings. If they besmirch any Christian organization in the process, that’s a BONUS.

They told us Iraq was a model country where the people were happy and thriving, when they KNEW what was really going on. They tried to make an evil regime look a rose garden. Even after they were caught in and admitted those lies, people still believe them.

The truth is so .......... inconvenient.
