RE: Pope Allegedly Sought Immunity For Abuse Crimes Just Before Resigning update
February 26, 2013 at 8:52 am
This thread is a good example of the wilfull self-delusion which many atheists indulge in.
The Pope is not facing criminal charges of any nature.
He did not seek immunity from any crime, because he faces no charges.
(note that, as a Head of State, he would have already enjoyed immunity from prosecution, so why retire if he did have charges to answer? The whole premise here is a total nonsense).
Note that the threat title uses the big give-away word - "allegedly".
Such words can essentially be taken to mean "this story is not true".
I dont get why atheists go in for these low-brow gutter media stories. Maybe it makes life more exicting? Maybe you feel like you have an identity or purpose of your own, if you define someone else as an enemy?
Whatever it is, I am not sure that Id like to live my life within a propaganda bubble, where outlook on life is essentially a complete distortion.
Why not put your time into something more worthwhile?
The Pope is abdicating because he is a very old man, who is very frail and quite simply is not physically up to the task any more. He is so weak, he cant even walk the length of St Peters Basilica. There has been a marked physical deterioration in his condition recently, he has lost a lot of weight and it is reported his vision is failing.
There is nothing more to this than that - health issues related to age.
If he was 10 or 20 years younger, he would keep going, no doubt.
But he was already old when elected, and we have had a good 8 years of service out of him. I dont think any reasonable person would begrudge him the time he has left, once he leaves office.
