TIME TO SACK THE POPE

St Malachy's prophecy about the Popes looks more and more correct, suppose to be only one more Pope, the amount of hate towards Catholicism makes it look more and more a possibility.
Hate leads to bad things and its heading towards where Catholics will be persecuted.
Didn't play the video but what was written said enough.

Just to be clear here:

The Pope is not a Nazi. He is a former member of Hitler Youth who fought for the Nazis towards the end of the war.

He is also not a paedophile, no charges have ever been brought against him, the ex Hitler Youth member.

Actually he has done more as Pope to reform the abuses in the Church than any other Pope. Much as the abuse goes back decades. The changes he is making to Child protection polices will make sure the abuse never happens again.

Not true he has spent the last 25 years protecting perverts with arcane secrecy laws. The buck has stopped with him for over 25 years.

Not true, it is only from 2001 that cases went to his section of the Vatican.

Sack the Pope?! That won't change a damned thing. The Pope is just a puppet, so long as he does what he's told, the cardinals are happy. So long as the Vatican State rakes in the cash and the 'faithful' do what they're told to do the Church is happy.

With the advent of education in Europe and North America and other countries the Church has to convince an educated populace that what they're saying is correct. Good luck with that one!

The only way the RC Church can survive is by fundamentally changing what it is. As it stands it is little more than a State trying to impose it's will on it's congregations. It's been doing this for centuries, only this time the Pope doesn't have armies at his disposal.

The Church has survived worse scandals than this. The Arian crisis was a lot worse I can tell you. The Church can no more change its fundamental being than you can change from being a person into a chocolate egg. :pac:

There should be a mass investigation of all the clergy from parish priests to bishops to cardinals and the pope. Anyone who knew about the abuse and helped to cover it up should be prosecuted as having aided and abetted or whatever the legal term is and obviously fcuked out of the church. It doesn't matter how high up they are, they're all human not superior beings.
My auntie knows a nice old priest who's in a little rural parish this years. Seemingly he reported something to do with child molestation years ago, I don't know if anything was done about it. He was stuck in the ar*ehole of nowhere all of his life with a tiny parish and was never moved on. She maintains he's a really good and holy man.

Oh and priests from now on should be allowed to marry, this 'don't shag anyone or touch yourself' mentality doesn't help matters. When you think of it, the older priests that are about were sent off to sememaries at 12 or 13 for this mentality to be drummed into them and half of them being molested by their teachers at the same time, is it any wonder they grew up perverted?

Slightly off topic here...My hubbie went to confession before we married because he didn't want to go up for Communion as it was years since he'd been at it. He told the priest he wasn't really sure of what to say 'cos it had been so long. The priest who was young and quite good looking said 'ok, I'll just ask you questions so'. Would you believe he asked him if he was in a sexual relationship? He then asked if he masturbated. Imagine that? The embarrassment! When we go to confession we're supposed to tell the priest if we've had 'bad' thoughts, now that is pure ridiculous. I think once you treat others as you'd like to be treated that's a good enough commandment to follow.

The pope should start immediately reinvent and refresh the church from the ground up.instead of holding talking shops about the scandal.

I suppose he (the Pope) would be entitled to job seekers allowance, or would they means test him?:D

Wouldnt change a thing if he was sacked. The church would need to be rebuilt from the ground up for any type of change but that wont happen. So its either going to implode or just shrink dramaticly over a generation or two hopefully.

Altho people should be banging down the vaticans doors with pitchforks and semi automatic riffle's.

Anyone remember that women who attacked the pope ? the german women and they tried to blow her off as a crazy on the news ? wonder why she was really attacking him now huh
