Zaatheist -- a question for you?

Why do you keep posting incorrect and misleading things about our pope? You "touch" on a story, but by the end of your statement you are professing a total fallacy, for instance:

"Condemning a 9 year old rape victim who had an abortion to save her life"
No, the Pope had nothing to do with this story, the local bishop did. Furthermore, the nine-year old WAS NOT condemned, her mother and the doctors were -- by the LOCAL BISHOP.

"Elevating a holocaust denier to the status of bishop"

The bishop in question was not "elevated" he was "reinstated" as was all the people of his order that were cut off at Vatican II. Bishop Williamson is not a denier, but questioning the number of people killed in camps. A denier is denying that it happened AT ALL. The man is not. The Pope released a statement that he was upset about his views, and he had NO IDEA. He is angry the bishop that promoted Fr Williamson didn't warn him, and that they didn't check the internet first.

"Promoting a new holocaust in Africa by trying to prevent the use of condoms in an attempt to tackle the Aid epidemic."
Promoting a new HOLOCAUST? He said that condoms were not the answer. MANY AIDS experts agree. Read about the epidemic before you condemn the man who stated relevant facts.

"Giving earthquake victims in Italy no help but sending holy oil instead."

WHAT? Where in the world do you get this nonsense? We are the largest charitable organization in the WORLD -- most Italians are Catholic, of course they received help from catholics.

You made a statement that we are sensitive about our Pope Beni even though he did these things and is ruining the church. I would appreciate it if you took a few moments to google and research what you are condemning. It's fine to have an opinion, but spreading lies and misleading others is not only uncool, it makes you look uninformed and unintelligent.

LHOOQ -- My point being: the child was not excommunicated. See you're just as bad. Quit talking if you don't know WHAT you are talking about.

Well put. More people no matter of how they feel need to be able to back up what they say!

You're the one who defended catholics for excommunicating a 9 year old girl for getting an abortion. You need to take a long, hard look in the mirror.

Who's Zaatheist's?

And what exactly is the question here?

Pope 'led cover-up of child abuse by priests!!!!

The Pope played a leading role in a systematic cover-up of child sex abuse by Roman Catholic priests, according to a shocking documentary to be screened by the BBC tonight.

In 2001, while he was a cardinal, he issued a secret Vatican edict to Catholic bishops all over the world, instructing them to put the Church's interests ahead of child safety.

The document recommended that rather than reporting sexual abuse to the relevant legal authorities, bishops should encourage the victim, witnesses and perpetrator not to talk about it. And, to keep victims quiet, it threatened that if they repeat the allegations they would be excommunicated.
