The level of pedophilia is stunning and abuse of young males. I feel sorry for those that thought they were giving money to God but the money was part of hundreds on millions that went to defiled children. Now a Cardinal. Wow. It is my opinion that Ratzinger bailed on the real depth of the continuing scandal. It is sad because there are so many saved souls looking up to these perverts but as my Grand Mother told me. “Keep your Eyes on Jesus “ Willard!!
you obviously took your eyes off of Jesus....Pope Benedict did not take his eyes off of the problems within the Catholic Church...there are 1.3BILLION members of the church..some of them are misguided, some of the are downright EVIL but you do not condemn an organization because some of its members are evil. want to condemn the masons, elks, moose, eagles, whatever because a few of their members are bad asses????
**The level of pedophilia is stunning and abuse of young males.**
The figures I have seen say that less that 50 percent of the cases are true. Still too much, but there is a lot of lying and money mongering going on.
PS. This is not the reason Pope Benedict XVI retired. Have you seen the pictures of him? Do you know how physically sick he is?
