“Oops. Our bad” These might as well have been Pope Benedict XVI’s words as he apologized for the reports of sexual abuse of children by Catholic Priests. He called the events “evil” while speaking to a congregation in Sydney, assuring them, “…as their (the victims) Pastor, that I, too, share in their suffering.” So the Pontiff knows what it is like to be molested and sodomized and forced to perform depraved acts on a man who, as a Priest, is supposed to be there to comfort children, not rape them of their innocence? I hardly think so and think if truly he did, he would’ve elaborated on his call to have the culprits brought to justice.        

    The abuses suffered at the hands of members of the clergy are horrors only the victims can know, sure we can feel for their pain but we can never understand and the Pope feigning empathy for the victims belittles the amount of damage they’ve truly sustained, not only physically but mentally. Sure he may “suffer” over the bad press the Church must endure amid the controversy, and I’m sure he’s truly sorry for the pain inflicted upon young members of the flock, but it would’ve done more for him to say, “I can’t begin to imagine how hard this must be for the victims but let me assure you I feel for their pain and will do everything in my power to assure such evils do not happen again.”      

       The man is definitely in a precarious position. On the one hand, he must protect the sanctity and good name of his Church and not let such reports get too much attention but on the other hand, he must also not turn a blind eye to them and corroborate them through inaction. The best way to go about it is to attack it, bring the wrath of God upon those who would use his name to harm the innocent. He says he wants to see them brought to Justice, well, my friend, Batman only exists on the silver screen. The Catholic Church is your backyard and it’s up to you to keep these dogs from shitting in it.     

       It’s strange to me that the Catholic Church, who considers homosexual acts sinful, are quick to condemn the actions of gay priests and bar them from service but when it comes to these pederasts, they may censure their behavior but seem to never take action against them, aside from shipping them to another parish. If homosexual acts are to be considered a sin, then what is to be made of them being performed with children? Perhaps if the Pope himself were bent over and forced to take something as big around as his forearm up the ass, he’d know what kind of suffering has been inflicted on innocent children. And maybe then he’d be a little quicker to take action against these degenerate monsters. Oh, I’m sorry, I meant Servants of God.
