Victims: Pope Benedict Protects Accused Pedophile Bishops Victims Say Pontiff Has Protected Bishop O’Connell, Cardinal Mahoney and 17 Others
By BRIAN ROSS, RHONDA SCHWARTZ and ANNA SCHECTER
Even as he told reporters on his flight to America that he was “deeply ashamed” over the church sex abuse scandal, Pope Benedict was accused by victims of protecting some 19 bishops accused of sexually abusing children.
“As a Catholic, I have to sadly conclude that he is not serious about ridding the church of corrupt bishops,” said Anne Doyle, co-director of BishopAccountability.org, a group tracking public records involving the bishops.
According to the group, of the 19 bishops “credibly accused of abusing children,” none has lost his title, been publicly censured by the Vatican or referred for criminal prosecutions.
“The sexual corruption in the Catholic church starts at the very top,” said Doyle.
Pope Benedict told reporters on his flight this morning from Rome to Washington, D.C., he would do everything possible to avoid a repeat of the scandal. “We will absolutely exclude pedophiles from the sacred ministry,” he said, according to Reuters.
Update: Apparently the reported that got slapped received that treitment because he was asking Ratzinger about details described very well in this article:

See? You’re playing down the horrible things these priests, bishops, etc have done. And it’s way more than a handful too.

No, what you’re doing is a weird attempt to make child abuse by catholics look less bad, it’s an ad hominem tu quoque.
“Why in the world we do not claim other child molestations”
Loaded question fallacy. We do.

“NOt convincing enough”
I just showed you wrong by presenting evidence. Nobody cares that you don’t find it convincing. You made a claim, I showed it to be false.

This evil anti pope has proven himself to be a manifest heretic /apostate. His mission is to aid in the great apostasy from the one true faith. He is anti christ. “New Order” “catholics” need to find a real Catholic Church, how much abuse will you take?
I can PROOVE he has called Islam “Holy” and said “Luther” was right? He has actively prayed with Jews and says Protest-ants are in FULL COMMUNION with the SAINTS??? Your “mass” was approved by 6 PROTESTANT HERETICS …nothin else to know GUILTY

Its not liberalism …
Its not liberalism that is destroying RC church, its the church destroying itself. The same psalms and lectures year after year, just press rewind and start over every January 1st. Donate cash or God will be angry. Protect didlers or God will be angry. Did God give us life so we can spend our whole life feeling guilty? He gave us erogenous zones and tells us not to enjoy them? These are the teachings of the RC church.

I believe in God and Jesus but I do not believe in any man made religion with their hidden agendas. You are entidled to your beliefs. Support pedofiles and donate money to them. I hope you sleep well at night you enabler.
