As unspeakable as a pope ignoring complaints of sexual abuse by a priest? Gross.

You are also an idiot, and obvously ignorant about how the Catholic Church is structured.

It would be like arresting and trying the U.S. president for accessory to murder, for playing politics with the lives of U.S. Soldiers by effectively tying both hands behind their backs with the official (and mandatory) R.O.E.s

Very true, but remember this.

The “World Court” has seized heads of state, or former heads of state, even though the rule of Sovereign Immunity applied.

In fact, Bush was threatened with indictment. And he may yet be forced to come before the court. As the UN and other superstate powers get stronger, they will start to force their will on other states.

I never said anything about arresting the pope, as much as I disagree with Dawkins, I disagree with the Catholic Church about as much. They don’t handle these scandals very well, and every other year you hear about another Catholic priest molesting a child. It’s disgusting, I’m just pointing that out, there is something fundamentally wrong with these men, not all of them, but how many bad apples can there be?
