vedaxcool: The report sounds a bit illogical, would the pope resign over a scandal that he is not involved in? It seems more like media people making a field day out of this resignation, this is not the first time a pope would resign! Secondly one would expect the pope in such a situation to crack down on such foolishness rather than run to hide in a monastery as if being chased by the devil? any way nothing is impossible but before Ratzinger became pope he was referred to as doctrine enforcer, how would someone who enjoyed hounding catholic priest who did not tow the line of the official catholic doctrine suddenly become scared stiff of some hoodlum gay priests?the press decided to cook up stories for us all. |

The Press can be sensational and overly partisan when it comes to news that sells. but we must ask those hard questions, trickles of news of Gay priests and acts of molestation abound.. who knows what will happen if that hole is opened up just a bit. We can deny and makes excuses for isolated cases not forming a norm or generality in what is revered (worldwide) as a top-notch Christian Institution.. such incidents tend to have a deeper, closely-guarded cans-o-worms. Apathy is not what is needed as seen throughout this thread.. asking those questions and probing further is what is required. if the institution is strong, it won't fall to criticism or probes, if it is found wanting, then you do not have to reason to far as to why the Pope will quit over such an issue. After-all, He is God's Messenger here on Earth, he is no longer a private figure, he is public and a negative image of Christianity is not a light issue. |

In parts of europe and america the cases are more frequent. All these discoveries were made by research/inquiry teams many sponsored by the catholic church. While there seems to b an increase rate of pedophilia even outside d church, d church standing as a teaching of morals makes d issue more toxic for her. The truth is if benedict was afriad to deal with d situation he would have resigned at least 2yrs ago. Infact the scandals tune down and were on their way to end wen his resignation seem to bring d whole issue back to limelight. My point is, if benedict was scared of gay priest he wouldnt be retiring now, he would have retired years ago. His pontificate was filled with scandals and crisis managment but i think it is unfair to his person to posit that he ran away becos of an report that has alway been there that d pedophiles may infact b gay. |
