Vatican Anger over raid

Cardinal Bertone angrily told reporters during a conference he was attending at a Catholic University in Rome that not even communist states dared to treat Church authorities and Church property in this way. He summoned the Belgian ambassador to the Vatican and handed him a formal protest note.

Belgian Catholic Abuse Panel Quits

A Catholic Church-backed commission of inquiry into clerical sexual abuse in Belgium has announced it is shutting down in protest at police raids.

Mr Adriaenssens, a child psychiatrist who only took over eight weeks ago, expressed concern at what could have motivated the authorities.

“They could only act in that way with the sentiment that we were in the wrong or that we were trying to conceal the cases,” he said.

Sorry, the ‘Trust us, we’re the RCC’ ship has long since sailed there fella.

Joey the Rat enforces the code of silence.

The Vatican issued an unprecedented rebuke yesterday of a top cardinal who had accused the retired Vatican secretary of state of blocking clerical sex abuse investigations, publicly dressing down a man who had been praised for his criticism of church abuse coverups.

The silencing of Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, the archbishop of Vienna and a man long considered a papal contender, drew heated criticism from clerical abuse victims. They said the Vatican should be honoring Schoenborn, not publicly humiliating him, for his calls for greater transparency and demands for a crackdown on priests who rape and sodomize children.

Schoenborn has also called for an open discussion of priestly celibacy, a stance that the Vatican said he clarified yesterday during an audience with the pope.

IOW “Don’t ever go against the family.”

Ah - but The Magic Sky Pixie will get wery, wery, angwy if a man wearing the wrong colour dress is mean about another man wearing the same colour dress.

You have to have on The Magic Hat to be able to do that.

And The Man in The Magic Hat says:

STFU.

It’s enough to make you worship Ceiling Cat instead.

I get the impression that the Pope thinks modern authorities should be playing Emperor Henry IV to his Gregory VII. Newsflash for Mr. Ratzinger: it’s not 1077, and no one is going to spend three days barefoot in the snow waiting for you to admit them to beg your forgiveness for having the temerity to question the authority of the Church.

Well, in his defense, the Pope was alive in 1077 so he probably has fond memories of that time…

" Let he who is without sin cast the first stone "

Hate to use the words of Jesus against the Pope. ( no. I don’t hate to. I love it. )

And yet…the evidence that Ratzy in fact directly covered for and moved around babyfuckers in Germany does little…well, does nothing to help him here. He’s complicit, he’s a part of the BAM ( Babyfuckers Apologist Machine ) and so really hasn’t a leg to stand on.

No, it’s not 1077. It’s 2010, where children and adults used as cumbuckets by Roman Catholic priests are supposed to be allowed to speak with safety and support and those within the BAM who dare speak out perhaps should not be Silenced By The Holy See.

It is to laugh. Except that it’s not funny.

Except that it goes on to this day. This isn’t ancient history. How does this pay out in the minds of those young children of both genders who are being raped by priests right now, this week, today ?

How can Ratzy even hold his head up, no less cast those pious eyes heavenward with an expression of peace and love?

It is to choke.

I wonder where the child rapist aplologists have gone. Their silence is deafening.

**Bricker **isn’t playing anymore, since he finally realized his position is indefensible, but he didn’t have the balls to just straight-up say he was wrong or confront the idea that his whole faith is a lie.

[Cartooniverse]

They’re in Rome, of course.
And Belgium.
And Germany.
And England
And Ireland.
And Boston.

I think you get the idea.
