I think Benedict XVI should write an Encyclical on the abuse of Children by Priests and how to correct the system.
He knows more about this than anyone else. A great many of Homosexual Priests are still in the church.

how to correct the system.

Follow the long standing ban on the ordination of homosexuals that was reaffirmed on 2 February 1961.

Who do you propose should write the secular encyclical on the epidemic of sexual abuse in public education?

You must not be aware of the steps that have been taken for those entering the seminary:

Two day pshyce exam.
Parents are interviewed for a day.
Possible seminarian interviewed for two days.
Multiple character references — and I don’t mean just two.
Interviews of people who knew the candidate.
And there is more.

Why to you continue to spew hatred? Yes, there were some bad priests, but the entire Catholic Church is not engulfed in this evil.

Well, he knows that the abuse is a product of the same lack of faith that leads church-going Catholics to use contraceptives and to abort their children.

Don’t have time to look it up now, but there was something about a 300-poage report passed on from +B16 to +F-— an urgent but confidential “State of the Church” message. I think it likely that there’s an overview of the abuse situation, and some advice on what steps to take.
