Another problem curtesy of Andrew Sullivan (and yes I read him but he also reads me because I write to him). A subordinate was pressured to cover for Ratzinger regarding a meeting he chaired where a priest was reassigned and went on to abuse.

I will say this in front of God and everyone. I think that the pope is either incompetent mentally or he is basically lying to us. Or figuring he does not have to actually say the truth as long as he does not speak words of lies. Either way he needs to go. Now.

There is so much filth associated with this Marciel case..bribery of church officials, at least it looks that way. Lots and lots of money exchanging hands. A pope who turned the other way..John Paul II. This is not the case of a lonely, tortured priest in a run-down orphanage. I am sympathetic to those poor souls, although I would do all I could to keep them away from children, including jail of course. This is a scam artist of the highest degree. A human worm. No, I should not insult worms. A subhuman inferior to a worm. mg
