Answerprancer - Thank you for putting the Stephen Fry rebuttle up.
anneasquith - The Pope has been implicit in covering up wholesale abuse of children whithin the Catholic Church by priests. If Roy Whiting had a tour would you go and see him? By allowing the Pope to remain in place without at least protest, there is mute acceptance that as long as its linked to the church Peadophilia is acceptable.

Although I understand where you are coming from Dave....The Pope hasn't actually been accused of child sex abuse. So you can't really compare him to Roy Whiting...
Loads and loads of sex abuse was covered up and swept under the carpet years back. You didn't talk about such things...This is 2010..we've moved on and learnt that keeping quiet is not the way forward. But it was then...

Ummmm with respect, and I men it, I suggest that you look up Ratzingers "influence" in the cover up going back 30 years. Fry alludes to it in his talk when he says that Ratzinger threatened excumunication to people who spoke to the police.
Saying it went back further isn't a defence, its a condemnation of all who went before him.
No he never killed a child but what he did do, was insure that the misery and suffering of hundreds(1,000's?) of children was either covered up or was allowed to continue.
If he was not who is, but say the head of a social services department, you would spit on him.

Yes, Naomi.
"I must have more children. The Pope tells me so. They will starve and die because I cannot feed them. But the Pope tells me to bring them into the world ... to die!"
The Vatican opposes stem cell research because the Pope believe a cell is a life, and must be treated with dignity. Tell that to the parents who KNOW their children will starve to death, horribly and painfully.
The Pope says ... "using a condom increases the risk of HIV". Is he a total loony? "No", says the catholic spokeswoman, "... he speaks with the voice of God, so he is infallible."
"Infallible"? He's a complete loony !!
