Pope says child rape isn t that bad  was normal back in his day

Is the game up for the Catholic Church? Sadly not, as many of its brainwashed members will continue to support it in spite of its now overt symptoms of psychopathology.

Pope  pedophile priest

Victims of clerical sex abuse have reacted furiously to Pope Benedict's claim yesterday that paedophilia wasn't considered an "absolute evil" as recently as the 1970s.
In his traditional Christmas address yesterday to cardinals and officials working in Rome, Pope Benedict XVI also claimed that child pornography was increasingly considered "normal" by society.
"In the 1970s, paedophilia was theorised as something fully in conformity with man and even with children," the Pope said.
"It was maintained - even within the realm of Catholic theology - that there is no such thing as evil in itself or good in itself. There is only a 'better than' and a 'worse than'. Nothing is good or bad in itself."
Pope child rape
The Pope said abuse revelations in 2010 reached "an unimaginable dimension" which brought "humiliation" on the Church.
Asking how abuse exploded within the Church, the Pontiff called on senior clerics "to repair as much as possible the injustices that occurred" and to help victims heal through a better presentation of the Christian message.
"We cannot remain silent about the context of these times in which these events have come to light," he said, citing the growth of child pornography "that seems in some way to be considered more and more normal by society" he said.
But outraged Dublin victim Andrew Madden last night insisted that child abuse was not considered normal in the company he kept.
Mr Madden accused the Pope of not knowing that child pornography was the viewing of images of children being sexually abused, and should be named as such.
He said: "That is not normal. I don't know what company the Pope has been keeping for the past 50 years."
Pope Benedict also said sex tourism in the Third World was "threatening an entire generation".


Angry abuse victims in America last night said that while some Church officials have blamed the liberalism of the 1960s for the Church's sex abuse scandals and cover-up catastrophes, Pope Benedict had come up with a new theory of blaming the 1970s.
"Catholics should be embarrassed to hear their Pope talk again and again about abuse while doing little or nothing to stop it and to mischaracterise this heinous crisis," said Barbara Blaine, the head of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests,
"It is fundamentally disturbing to watch a brilliant man so conveniently misdiagnose a horrific scandal," she added.
"The Pope insists on talking about a vague 'broader context' he can't control, while ignoring the clear 'broader context' he can influence - the long-standing and unhealthy culture of a rigid, secretive, all-male Church hierarchy fixated on self-preservation at all costs. This is the 'context' that matters."
The latest controversy comes as the German magazine Der Spiegel continues to investigate the Pope's role in allowing a known paedophile priest to work with children in the early 1980s.

    This whole article was written "out of context"! I am NOT Catholic, and I do not take papal declarations to heart, but during this interview, the Pope was discussing SOCIETY as a whole, NOT the Catholic church! Articles like this washed up propaganda only serve to STRENGTHEN the Catholics' reservations, and bonds.

    The Vatican operates just like ANY other government. Think about it.

    Yes actually. I wrote an entire paper on it for english. We were reading Anne Frank's diary which is one of my favorite things to read I've read it like a million times. ANYWAYS, there was an essay part and I wrote a whole thing about Dussel the guy who was her roommate who was deaf but said he was a doctor and needed to hear her heart beat so he put his greasy old man head on her bear chest and no one questioned that he was sharing a room with a 14-16 year old girl. It was because back then men had all the power and were allowed to be pigs and women weren't allowed to question it.

    that was actually standard practice back then because not all doctors had stethoscopes at the time. further because women did not typically go to college, most doctors were men.

    This whole thing has always freaked me out, that they knew about the pedophilia and molestation but kept shifting the bad apples around without actually trying to prevent the problem. They are still denying that they are a problem. I have theorized that they actually helped cause the issue. The Catholic church demands that to people refrain from having natural desires, so their urges explode in ways that harm innocent kids.
