Was it not de Sade who wrote, “The world will finally know peace when the last King is strangled, with an intestine of the last Priest”.?

The British people marched against the poll tax, are we scared not to march against the bigots who want to make their own rules to suit themselves as religious groups. Where are our rights to protest against pedophile priests and nuns. I believe that on the Popes visit he should be challenged and we should demand answers and the Church makes a stand against these criminals. Actions speak louder than words, but I am afraid that is all we are going to get is Words.
I will be keeping a close eye on the BBc and if they report both sides equally.
This abuse of men,women and children must be stopped now.

Re: Trevor Blake’s http://ovo127 One of the possible reasons why Amnesty International does not criticise the Vatican is that the clergy of all denominations are highly active members. When I was an active member in Hong Kong, I was told that A.I. would collapse if it was not for the support priests and nuns.

It’s time the Pope was challenged publicly regarding his own responsibility for covering up and hiding pedophile priest.

I tried to submit this earlier today but it somehow never showed up. So sorry if I end up repeating myself

I have many friends who are catholics and who privately will tell me that they think that the whole thing is nonsense. However, they will submit their own children to the rituals of baptism and confirmation, will still send them to catholic schools where they know they will be indoctrinated, and will go along with the whole abuse system just for fear if being seen to step out if line with ‘the faith’. The whole thing is run on fear and sadlyvi have no idea how we van end the terrible cycle of abuse

I always feel that it is out of order to wish bad fortune upon people even as I am aware that wishes have no actual power I still think that is somehow not a nice thing to do.

I do however make an exception for those who oppose assisted dying, they deserve to spend several years in unbearable pain to atone for all the pain that their actions have inflicted on others.

Ratzi’s position is so bizarre. He thinks it’s OK for priests to rape children, but he is against adults of the same gender having sex.

Critics do claim that the Roman Catholic Church sheltered clergy who raped children. So do the official documents from past and current Popes.

And the BBC floods us with daily propaganda. To-day, near the top of the early morning Radio 4 programme listeners were subjected to an outrageous and lengthy piece of RC propaganda. We were told that Archbishop Nichol intended to say that NHS hospital patients were not treated with sufficient dignity and, particularly when they were dying, too much like machines. This was reported as if from Socrates. Then we hear a piece from the BBC Religious Propagandist (paid for by your licence fees) that what Nichol was particularly concerned about was the possibility of legalising euthasia. He threw a sentence in to say that Rowan Williams felt the same way. So we know which superstitous outfit is calling the shots now.

We may now expect the Pope’s expensive trip to be getting the soft treatment from now on. With an RC Director General on Â£800,000 plus a year we seem defencless against this. Doesn’t anyone in government with some moral courage care? We are confronted with the scandal of selective propaganda while the repellent abuse by the Pope and his priests is ignored.

WH, yes I actually knew about that. It makes his recent pronouncements appear absurd, hypocritical and self serving. The Catholic Church has been morally bankrupt for two thousand years and remains so to this day, and yet still has the presumtion to lecture everyone, Catholic or Damned, on how they should live.

The most depressing part is that there are still millions of shitwits that support him. Without Catholics out in the real world the Pope would be irrelevant.
