I am amazed at the extensive and consistent media coverage of the Pope and the priestly sex scandal. My Wall Street Journal had two huge articles today with one an opinion piece by an apparently Catholic editorial writer. The New York Times is just full of them and the Vatican is letting the Times know it is not pleased.
One editorial writer says that the media is doing the Vatican a favor by finally exposing the whole sordid cover-up and forcing it to act; something it should have done years and years ago but the Vatican is not seeing it that way. The Vatican is saying that the media is taking the acts of a few priests and making it into an attack on the Papacy as well as the entire Catholic Church.
I think the Vatican is somehow trying to distance itself from the acts of priests in various countries. When victims brought charges against the Vatican saying the Vatican employed the priests that violated them and therefore responsible for the actions of those priests, the Vatican countered that those priests did not work for the Vatican.
Please, please, man up you red-robed shit-heads and accept the responsibility for your failures which allowed child molestation to go on and on while you wallowed in your holy crap! The Vatican has an absolutely dictatorial hold on everything Catholic so please don’t pretend you don’t know what your priests are up to; all of them.
Documented reports to the Vatican from Bishops pleading for help with pedophile priests show how the Vatican and specifically Ratzinger basically ignored those pleas and thus allowing the molestation to go on for years. No, there is nowhere to hide anymore boys and you are now exposed as incompetent nincompoops playing God!
I was happy to see that some Bishops and Cardinals are not waiting for the Pope to fess up but are apologizing to the people and directly to the victims of priestly crimes. I think many of them are sensing that criminal charges can be brought against them in the country or city where the crimes occurred and the Vatican will not be able to protect them as it can itself by claiming national sovereignty. Local clergy are citizens of their locales and subject to the laws of those locales so jail is a distinct possibility.
This is truly a historic time and even my saintly Catholic mother is saying “hang them high…”.
