Pope Francis Abuse Scandal

[Rev. Rye]

Pretty sure they all knew at the higher levels, probably including the archbishop Vigano.

That's the basic problem with asking Pope Francis to resign.

Is anyone else here familiar with Konrad Adenauer? Specifically, the reasons that led to him becoming the first Chancellor of West Germany after the post-WW2 occupation? During the Nazi era, Adenauer, former mayor of Koln, lay low, due to his figuring out that the Nazis could not be controlled. He was probably the only Weimar-era politician to do so, and if nothing else, he was the most well-qualified one to do so. So, he ended up as the ideal choice to lead Germany into proper greatness. Of course, when he left the office (which would happen sooner, rather than later, since, when the Nazis fell, he was 69 years old), there would be the problem of who else would actually be qualified to replace him AND not have ties to the Nazi regime. Given that they had such a hard time of finding politicians who weren't tainted by associating with the Nazis, and the compulsory military service and Hitler Youth membership, people would have to wait until the 1935-born generation to have a reasonable chance to find a replacement without the taint. So, he relaxed the Denazification laws because there was literally nothing else he could do.

Can we really expect the RCC to find cardinals who WEREN'T complicit in this shit?
