Pope Benedict Cannot Ride out Scandal in Modern Age
From Time.com
”
How do you atone for something terrible, like the Inquisition? Joseph Ratzinger attempted to do just that for the Roman Catholic Church during a grandiose display of Vatican penance — the Day of Pardon on March 12, 2000, a ritual presided over by Pope John Paul II and meant to purify two millenniums of church history.

Pope Benedict Downplays Child Rape in his Homily
Pope Benedict this Palm Sunday dismissed the “petty gossip” of the allegations during his homily. The recent scandal rocking the Catholic Church involves a Wisconsin Priest who raped over 200 deaf boys and had his case dismissed by Pope Benedict (then Cardinal Ratzinger). Could the Pope possibly minimize the grotesque nature of child rape even more? The Church has been more concerned with covering it’s own backside than it is with solving the widespread problem of child rape in the priesthood. It is much more concerned with it’s public image than it is concerned with admitting faults and making amends with the victims.
Pope Benedict (Ratzinger) involved in Child Rape Cover-up
The New York Times broke news this week that Pope Benedict (formerly Cardinal Ratzinger) played a heavy hand in dismissing a Wisconsin case against a priest who had raped over 200 deaf boys at the religious school where he ministered.
The American priest Rev. Lawrence C. Murphy worked at a school for the deaf in Wisconsin from 1950-1974. During that time he raped and sexually mollested over 200 students.
The Catholic Priesthood is breeding grounds for child rape. First, the priesthood attracts gay men because it is offered as the only viable vocation for a gay Catholic teenage boy. Studying in the seminary, living with other gay men does not help their situation either. Secondly, the Catholic Church requires all their followers (but especially priests and nuns) to refrain completely from masturbation. This unnatural request leads to a sexual build up that is truly unhealthy when trying to live a life without the opportunity for sexual release. Sexual release is a natural need of the human body. Wet dreams are the body’s way of satisfying this need if it is not dutifully taken care of. Thirdly, when you combine homophobia and this unhealthy view of masturbation and sex with settings where priests are in unsupervised contact with young naive children (who are not taught about sex and masturbation) you end up with a lethal cocktail of child rape.
Dutch Catholic School’s Priests Sexually Mollested young children for years
Janne Geraets, now 57, suffered repeated sexual abuse from the age of 11 at the hands of a priest at the Roman Catholic school where he was a boarder. His ordeal began in 1964, at the Don Rua monastery in the town of ‘s-Heerenberg in the east of the Netherlands. He was being trained by the Salesian Fathers of Don Bosco, in the hope of one day becoming a missionary. After a party, one of the priests lured Janne to the infirmary under the pretext of giving him medicine to ease his sore throat. “All of a sudden he was right up against me,” Geraets recalled. “He unzipped his trousers and forced my hand inside. I was in a state of utter confusion.”
Conservative “Family Man” Mike Duvall resigns for talking about sexual affairs
Self proclaimed “family values man” Mike Duvall resigned today after in house audio recordings picked up his conversation with a college where he described spanking and having sex with two married women (neither of whom are married to HIM). Duvall was bragging about “getting into spanking her” and talked about his two mistresses under his breath without knowledge that his conversation was being picked up by in house recording. Hypocrisy at it’s finest. Way to go Mike Duvall, aka “Sir spanks-a-lot” VIDEO CLIP
