After all, prosecutors would have to prove that Pope Benedict XVI, in allegedly neglecting to address pervasive sex abuse in the Catholic Church, belongs in the company of Serbia's Slobodan Milosevic, Liberia's Charles Taylor and the perpetrators of the Rwandan genocide.

oh please the church got away with the Crusades and the Inquisition it has always had ambitions and preyed on the poor and weak minded you think they have not always had perverts in their minions
who else could you get to do it
its the largest corporation in the world with the fewest tears of management
you think the local power does not corrupt and abuse its lack of over seeing
the church was politics before democracy
and that is just power for ya
pay prey and obey
bend over and shut your communion wafer hole
