Aren't 'they' terrible for dishing the dirt on the previous Pope?
Ratzinger: A man who when he was 'Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith' wrote a letter to every bishop in which he instructed them in the ways to deal with the growing scandal of paedophilia in the Catholic Church. He wrote that these matters should not be referred to the police or any other body other that the Church and that they should be dealt with, “... in the most secretive way ... restrained by a perpetual silence ... and everyone ... is to observe the strictest secret which is commonly regarded as a secret of the Holy Office … under the penalty of excommunication...”.
This is a man who has actively and wilfully attempted to cover up the sexual abuse of countless children throughout the world.

I'd love to have a go at it. I'd attempt to systematically dismantle it from the inside out; exposing the lies, corruption and sexual depravity that runs through it like a cancer. Also, I can juggle a bit. I think that would go down well with the crowds on the Papal balcony.
Pope me up.

SirOracle - “... Birdie. Could you please give the source from which you obtained the letter you allege that the previous Pope sent to all the Bishops,when he was Prefect of the Congregation. Or did you just make it up?...”
I don't make things up. Never have, never will. I find it quite astonishing that you seemingly haven't bothered to look this up for yourself since you apparently think it's a lie. I'm a helpful individual so click this link:

Stephen Fry also talks about it specifically in his speech at the Intelligence Squared debate:
If you don't want to listen to it all, skip forward to about 10:50 and see for yourself.
