At least that's how Catholics see him.One starts with the street level offenders, get them to turn on the leutinents, leutinents on the captians and on up the ladder like any other criminal organization, until you get to the top of the corruption.
Quote:indict How do you indict god? I'm currently having fun thoughts about indicting god for all the murders, rapes, wars, etc. carried out in his name... teehee!Good luck with that one.
Quote: Various jurisdictions have had enough difficulty just getting the Church to release records, imagine the shit storm if they were pressing charges against the Pope...That's from a top down perspective. What I am suggesting is a bottom to top approach.
Quote:The Vatican would not extradite him for trial. He wouldn't see the inside of a courtroom, let alone have to serve his sentence...So they said about Manuel Antonio Noriega are you old enough to remember what happened to him?
Quote: Since he is seen as god by Catholics, what right does a court of man have to judge him?Does God condone Child Rape in the bible? If no then their is a distinct difference between The God of the bible and the guy who has people fooled that he is a god.
If he is not the god of the bible "then cry havoic and let loose the dogs of war."

Quote:Personally, I agree with you. He should be indicted, tried, and convicted. But practically speaking, it's not going to happen.The Vatican is not a self sustaining city/state. Impose sanctions like we would with anyother leader/country that has committed crimes against Humanity, and wait them out. Once all the offenders have been convicted allow them to reset and try again.
