The pope: Accessory after the fact?


Off-Topic Discussions

Liberty's Edge

Ok, so I'm sure most everyone knows by now that, while acting as bishop Ratzinger, pope Benedict allowed a man who molested more than 200 deaf boys to go free and almost assuradely go on to molest again. Given that this man covered up the crime, shouldn't he be considered an accessory after the fact and held responsible for his actions? How can the catholic church hope to mend its very tarnished reputation if it continues to try and deny/cover up this mess? Dominoes (as Jon Stewart said) has shown more remorse for its shitty pizza than the catholic church has for countless molestations and other sex crimes!

And don't even get me started on the fact that the church elected a pope who was a member of the Hitler youth...

Try finding out all the facts before making accusations. The daily show is a fun show but it is not any more a news show then fox news is a news channel.

It was a funny quip, not quoting it as a source. Anybody with some common sense can see that the RCC is doing little if anything to make up for these transgressions...

But anywho, I already reposted this in the religious discussions thread when i realized it should have been there from the start.

I disagree, I don't think that this has anything to do with that thread.

How so? A religious organization has propagated the molestation of countless children by obstructing justice and covering up the crimes of their clergy by moving them around. Even now churches and diocese are speaking out against the new vatican policy that "requires" any violations to be reported to local law enforcement. This is a systemic problem with this institution that can only be solved by removing all of the leadership and starting anew or dissolving the organization.
