Campaign to arrest the Pope!

[Thor]

Sam Harris is launching an appeal to have the Pope arrested! Wouldn't that be great? The details can be found here: http://www.samharris.org/site/full_text/...-arrested/

Why should he enjoy diplomatic immunity? He was complicit in covering up the sexual abuse of little boys! Anyone else would be thrown in jail!

Arrest the Pope!

Arrest the Pope!

I'd like to see them try. And that's not just sarcasm, I'd really like to see the Pope arrested for covering up sexual abuse. In fact, my parents are currently in the process of burning our bridges with our old church (Lutheran, mind you) after it turned out that one of the teachers at the adjoining school, and an elder of the church, was not only a pedophile, but that the church had actually known that from the beginning.

Let me add that to the list of things I would do if I were president:

Put out a warrant for the Pope's arrest. Encourage all other nations to follow suit.

Yes. We arrest Roman Polanski for having sex with a thirteen-year-old girl (who, incidentally, has gone on record repeatedly saying she believes that he should be allowed to go free) once thirty years ago, and meanwhile, the Pope has impunity to aide and abet acts of pedophilia that have occurred for, at the very least, decades.

Could he really be arrested over alleged cover ups? Don't get me wrong, I find it hard to accept that he knew nothing about, or tried to cover up pedo-preists, seeing as it was his job to know about this kinda stuff. But just because it looks like he's guilty as fuck doesn't mean he is, or that he should be arrested. I don't see how they can actually get any evidence against him, since wouldn't the church control it and if it came down to it destroy any evidence?

It's a bit more than just a "cover-up."

Joseph Ratzinger heads the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising from March 1977 to February 1982 and approved the January 1980 transfer of “H” to the Munich parish.
Joseph Ratzinger is elected pope in April 2005.
See chart.

Jan. 1980 “H” moves to a parish in Munich to undergo therapy after being accused of molesting boys, a decision that was taken “with the approval of the archbishop.” He is allowed to resume pastoral work by the vicar general.

I don't understand why anyone would continue to support an organization when it has been revealed that the organization has been covering up child molestation committed by its members. You'd think people would be EMBARRASSED to call themselves "Catholic". But the ninnies just continue to smile and drop their money into the collection plate...

Just shows you how credulous some believers can be. Just imagine if the pope was arrested (which won't happen). The wailing and crying, the candles and vigils, the praying. They would make a right martyr of him. Still if he went to prison he would stop being a virgin hock:

Because Herr Von Popenfuhrer said it was all the media hating on the church so that made the idiots feel better.

They are catholic because they are stupid.

I have no doubt you are correct.

I'd bet the Dope could anally penetrate a ten year old boy in the middle of St. Peter's Square and the followers would defend him. They would probably even tell the tyke how lucky he was to be "blessed" by the "Holy Father".
