The “state visit” of the head of the catholic church, The Pope, doesn’t seem to have happened in the way the church would have liked it to.

What the visit has done is highlight the immense numbers of Pedophile priests in the catholic church. There has been significant media attention to this problem in The United States, Ireland, UK, Mexico, Belgian, France and Germany.

There are an estimated 400,000 catholic priests worldwide. According to Geoffrey Robertson’s new book The Case of The Pope the percentage of catholic priests that are pedophiles is somewhere between 4% and 9%. That’s a figure of between 16,000 and 36,000 pedophiles in the catholic church.

Should all governments now co-operate to force the Pope to hand over information it has on Pedophile priests?

Let's not get confused here, religion is about actions, not words like politics (where they just sweeten your ears and keep pumpin' power). The Pope has prooven with actions he is a true cathiloc christian. People can call themselves catholics, but if they slaughter their own children (like in abortion), then they're just posers. You can't be a christian catholic if you don't abby with “thou shall not kill”. Now politicians, they kill when it's convenient, they violate when it's convenient.

90+ percent of pederasts prefer only victims of their same sex, in other words, 90+ percent of pederasts are gay. The Pope's continuous actions and statements opposing pederast and gay conducts make sense. There are good and bad people everywhere, and it's good to see that bad people inside the church are now falling hard out of the closet. I hope the same occurs in other spheres like politics where usually nothing happens, and nobody gets caught.

THE POPE BRINGS HOPE

The answer, as you yourself concede, is 'as a practicing Christian'. Go along to one of the Masses, these are not solely for Roman Catholics and 'listen' to what is said during the liturgy, speak to other people who are there. If you find kindness, concern for you, generosity, understanding, then, perhaps, you might deepen your relationship with Jesus and with His Church and with all people, for at our deeper selves there is only Love and nothing else. We are rooted in Love and leave this world with nothing but Love.

There simply is no other depth of relationship that I know.

I am not surprised to hear what you are saying. As Fr Bob said, it has become an option, even in civil courts, to subject people to judgments without giving adequate reasons. Its even acceptable that judges, in civil courts, will issue perverse decisions if they like with little chance of appeal. I am telling you that without the EU directives, people here would be suffering from more discrimination and all forms of commercial abuses,etc.The culture of this country as manipulated by ruling classes over centuries has learnt to twist the truth and that is why I love this pope because of the way he engages with truth.

Of course people prejudge you once they find out you are catholic. Having made the choice to be a catholic and follow a misogynistic, authoritarian organization based upon bronze age myths which harbours peadophiles, others are being perfectly reasonable to think you are quite foolish if not depraved.

More anti-Catholic bias. I live in the US, but every time I vsit the UK, I am treated to prejudice because I am Catholic. The person who wrote this screed has presented no evidence for his screed. Oremus pro Pontifice!

Flyerhope: Exactly what in my comment constitutes slander? The defence of fair comment and truth are still recognized in the US I believe.
I'm a Canadian who is married to an American so I go to the states fairly regularly. I'd happily restate my above position publicly next time I'm in the US. On of the things I respect most about the US is its constitutional protection of free speech despite the crazed rantings of christian fanatics.
