    US society to blame for child abuse: Pope



    WASHINGTON: Pope Benedict XVI on Thursday chided Americans for a moral breakdown he said had fueled the church’s child sex abuse scandal.

    Pope Benedict, celebrating a stadium mass for 45,000 people, acknowledged that the United States pedophile priests scandal caused "indescribable pain and harm" to victims but asked Catholics to love their pastors.

    Fuck you pope scum that looks like Robert Blake in Lost Higway.

    The "child sex abuse scandal" is fueld by the child sex abuse and the turds that protected those sick pedophile fucks and tried to keep the stories under wrap instead of handing them to the law, not by porno made and watched by consenting adults... You filthy pice of shit. Gooooood I hate this fucker!

    Well, you can look at it as priests protecting pedophiles, or you can look at it as Americans protecting pedophiles. The clergymen were Americans, after all. I haven't researched the issue much - is there evidence that clergymen outside of the U.S. were involved in protecting these men while the abuse was happening (as opposed to trying to avoid liability, which came afterwards)?

    The article continues on to quote him as saying: "What does it mean to speak of child protection when pornography and violence can be viewed in so many homes through media widely available today?"

    "Children deserve to grow up with a healthy understanding of sexuality and its proper place in human relationships. They should be spared the degrading manifestations and the crude manipulation of sexuality so prevalent today."

    Granted, I don't believe violent and sexual media creates pedophiles, but that doesn't seem to be what he's saying, here. Moreso, the opinion that this stuff is a problem (that may contribute in some way), is not an unreasonable perspective for the head of a church to hold. Scientific data isn't really their primary concern, after all.

    Ive heard tons of cases of the cleregy doing the church switcharoo here in Mexico, Latin america and spain, prolly happens often in other catolic countries like italy and ireland tho to be frank I dont remember any cases of the bat. What im sure is its not a US exclusive thing at all, that is for sure.

    The catholic church as a whole is scum and is a heaven for pedophiles, Im willing to bet many bush dodgers dont believe in that crap they preach at all and just chose it as a job to have easy acces to kids and ultra protection when they get caugth.

    Hmmmmmm.....a catholic speaking about moral breakdowns? The abusive priests rarely, if ever face any criminal charges for the acts they commit. The church just hushes it all up, pays off the victim, and lets the priest start all over again in a new community.

    So now this creepy ass dude that looks like a Pedo himself, is saying it's all America's fault. Fuck you prick. No wonder the pope get's shot at. Everytime I see his mug in a picture it creeps my ass out. Besides the fact that there is something wrong with a religion that pushes women into a role as just a breeder, and that as a "representative of the church" the priests have to be celibate, and stuck around other men.

    Bah! No wonder I don't like catholics.

    Just hang the damned priests and rescind their tax exempt status. That will solve everything. :)
