the pope quit for child rape???

[-jose-]

doesn't mean he did so while being pope, could have been from before.

Plus, he did after all turn a blind eye in the 80's & 90's when evidence was brought to him of sexual rape, while he was Vatican's most senior official.

When he was the archbishop of Munich in 1980, the case of Peter Hullermann crossed his desk. Father Hullermann was accused of multiple crimes of abuse. In one case he had taken an 11-year-old boy hiking in the mountains, plied him with drink, locked the door, stripped him and forced him to perform oral sex. Yet Hullermann's punishment was simply to be moved from Essen to Munich for therapy. Within days, this known sexual predator was given pastoral duties with access to young people – and he promptly abused again. Benedict's defenders have long insisted those fateful decisions were taken by his deputy. But the crucial documents, when they surfaced, said otherwise.

No less disturbing is the case of the California priest Stephen Kiesle, convicted of tying up and molesting two young boys in a church rectory. His superiors wrote to Rome in 1981, requesting that the abuser be defrocked, warning of "scandal" if he remained. After an initial request for more information, Ratzinger took four years to deliver his reply. It came in Latin – and said his office needed more time to consider the case. No doubt grateful for the delay, Kiesle was able to return to one of his former parishes – in the youth ministry.

It was a similar story with Father Lawrence C Murphy of Wisconsin, tormentor of as many as 200 boys in his care at a special school for the deaf, telling them God wanted him to teach them about sex. Eventually the archbishop of Milwaukee wrote to Rome – to Ratzinger – demanding action. Once again, the future pope failed to answer. Eventually a secret, canonical trial of Murphy began in 1996, ordered by Ratzinger's deputy. But the trial was halted after the abuser wrote a personal plea to Ratzinger, requesting that he be allowed to "live out the time that I have left in the dignity of my priesthood". He was granted his wish, dying peacefully, buried in his priestly vestments. Those children, deaf and especially vulnerable, never saw justice.

You people don't show disrespect! What's wrong with you people? The pope sends you his blessing on his last Sunday mass in Rome next week. The pope loves all people of all races.

Yup, They just pay off the family and move the priest somewhere else.

The catholic church is the most corrupt and evil business in the world.

That web site isn't lagit, I'm not buying it even though I think the Catholic church is extremely immoral.

I think Catholicism may go the way if the dinosaur in the near future.

It's taken more hits than Elton John's chin has from his spouse's balls.

If that's even possible.
