Pope quits

[Michael Hardner]

The Church itself isn't abusing children individuals are. That's like saying education is hurting children or scouts are hurting children because some teachers or scout leaders sexually abuse children. Absurd.

Or like saying that Islam is a threat to institutions.

The church hides the pedophiles when they find out about them and allows them to carry on their activities.

Exactly squid.

We're way beyond 'a few bad apples', peanutbutter, to systemic negligence or collusion in failing to protect children from known predators.

We need a strong Pope of an ethnic background (preferably South Asian or African) to combat Islam. I am liking the dude from Ghana or the cardinal from Sri Lanka, enough of these useless European Popes-- even an American would be better. Islam must be fought. We need a Pope who can be our crusader, our protector, our voice, to combat radical Islam. We need to wake up the masses who haven't heard the good word, I am liking the prospect of Africa and Asia as targets. Both nicely uneducated, poor, misery strucken, making it futile ground for religion to flourish. Let's be sure that Christianity reaches them before Islam does.
