Pope Allegedly Sought Immunity For Abuse Crimes Just Before Resigning

Pope Allegedly Sought Immunity For Abuse Crimes Just Before Resigning
Quote:We knew something had to be up with the resignation of Pope Benedict. After all, Popes don’t just resign; in fact, this is the first time a Pope has resigned in 600 years. Therefore, the hoopla surrounding this is more than understandable. However, as per usual with the Catholic Church, there seems to be a catch, and, lo and behold, it likely surrounds the infamous abuse scandals that have plagued the church’s image for so long.

Crucify him.

He should appreciate the irony.

Sadly, I wouldn't be surprised if he actually got the immunity he was asking for. Why? Because the world isn't fair.

I thought shoving the papal crucifix up his ass until it comes out of his mouth would better fit the crime.

Unfortunately that wont happen. Too many fans protecting him. Plus I am not into revenge. Even if we caught the Pope on video molesting a kid, the only thing we should do as a civil society is have him arrested. That would not justify forcing the Catholic faith out of existence. If any religion dies, be it Christianity or Islam or Hebrew or Hindu, it has to die from reason and questioning and or neglect.

Outside that we arrest people for breaking common law, not for their faith or political party or nationality or race.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think he needs immunity if he stays in the Vatican, which seems to be the plan.

I love that he's just going to ask to be let off. Can you imagine if a regular person off the street tried that over a serious crime?

Gotta love the Catholic church's arrogant belief that its adherents are somehow above the law, or should be, anyway!
