The greatest theologian since St. Augustine. The Liberal Priests are shaking as Benedict XVI aims his righteousness at their sinful ways. Pope John Paul II always asked for Benedict's advice before anything. The great GERMAN POPE!!!!!

You should not judge an entire religion by the actions of a few. You're an idiot. So im cathloic I guess that means I protect pedophilles? HELL NO, I hope they go to prison and get raped once a week.

why not its been proved when a preist is found to be molesting children he gets moved on rather than reported to the police as in the cases cardinal mccormoick of ireland who covered up for many pedophiles and when found out he took medical retirement so catholics back and protect prerists so they are protectecting peadophiles .
