Father Benedict Groeschel is furious with the NYT. No doubt he will take them to task over this new article, on his next Sunday Night Live program.

Hell’s Bible is at it again.
In a 4000 word article HB’s Cumaen Sybil moos against Pope Benedict.
A sample.
But the future pope, it is now clear, was also part of a culture of nonresponsibility, denial, legalistic foot-dragging and outright obstruction. More than any top Vatican official other than John Paul, it was Cardinal Ratzinger who might have taken decisive action in the 1990s to prevent the scandal from metastasizing in country after country, growing to such proportions that it now threatens to consume his own papacy.
It is the usual thing.
No matter how much Card. Ratzinger did, it wasn’t enough.
The same goes today.
No matter how much or what Pope Benedict does, it can never be good enough for the editors of HB.
What is so slimy about this article is that it ends with simple inuendo, because that is all they really have.
Where Benedict lies on this spectrum, even after nearly three decades of handling abuse cases, is still an open question.
Wellllll, yes… it is an open question. But it requires an open mind to drill into it.
There is no question that in the issue of the clerical abuse of children, some Catholic clergy fell down hideously. Is this news?
But HB has its sights set on Pope Benedict. They will do anything to claw at him.
The Times lost its common sense a LONG time ago.

LOL the title.
As I said before, the Church will prevail. I’m not worried. In fact, I think its a compliment to the Pope that these people are so threatened by him. He must be doing something right.
I agree. The Church will endure, and has endured far more serious events than the weasels at the new york times. And I am far happier with His Holiness than I could EVER be with the times.
bump!
Just worried about the teens I work with......
Can you expound on this?
Goo, indeed. Pope Benedict, when he was Cardinal Ratzinger, recognized the problem, and started working on it years ago.
