BBC News - Pope's preacher compares abuse row to anti-Semitism
Quote from article
(Pope Benedict's personal preacher has compared criticism of the pontiff and Church over child abuse to "collective violence" suffered by the Jews)
I think there is no possible comparison between a regime that murdered over 9 Million people and a Church that now seeks to blame the objectors who object to pedophilic acts committed on children throughout the world.
Quote from article
(Vatican spokesman the Rev Federico Lombardi later contacted the Associated Press news agency to say Father Cantalamessa was not speaking as a Vatican official.
He said such a comparison could "lead to misunderstandings and is not an official position of the Catholic Church".)
It was the vicar of Christs PERSONAL PREACHER who made that statement, one presumes he believed it. At the time he made this statement he did not state it was a personal remark.
Quote from article
(But Stephan Kramer, general-secretary of Germany's Central Council of Jews, described the remarks as offensive and repulsive.
"So far I haven't seen St Peter's burning, nor were there outbursts of violence against Catholic priests," he said.
"I'm without words. The Vatican is now trying to turn the perpetrators into victims.")
A German Archbishop calls for a 'New Start'
After 2000 years of this religion he wants a new start.
IMO this religion should be banned.
Pedophilic acts on children have a nasty habit of being perpetrated by those same children when they themselves reach maturity.
Not every child who is treated such, but certainly a significant number.
This Church should either be banned outright or at the very least change it's rules regarding having unmarried males as it's Priests.
It is unnatural for men to go through life without some outlet for their sexuality.
