From 2005 to 2013, the Catholic Church was ruled by Pope Benedict XVI, Joseph Ratzinger (or as we liked to call him, Papa Ratzi), a 78-years-young man who allegedly battled the Vatican’s secret “gay lobby”
Now retired, Papa Ratzi has taken to the countryside to write out-of-touch letters blaming the 1960s sexual revolution and teh gayz for his church literally raping thousands of kids for decades with his help.
His letter basically says that childhood sex education and the church’s increasing moral relativism (losing its position as the infallible arbiter of good and evil) were both responsible for creating a climate where pedophilia spread through the Church.
In his letter, Ratzinger writes:
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
In the 20 years from 1960 to 1980, the previously normative standards regarding sexuality collapsed entirely, and a new normalcy arose that has by now been the subject of laborious attempts at disruption….
The matter begins with the state-prescribed and supported introduction of children and youths into the nature of sexuality…. Part of the physiognomy of the [Sexual] Revolution of ‘68 was that pedophilia was then also diagnosed as allowed and appropriate.
Diagnosed by who? He doesn’t say. He continues:
In various seminaries [during the ’60s] homosexual cliques were established, which acted more or less openly and significantly changed the climate in the seminaries.
Ratzinger goes on to lament the fact that accusers are given more protection and weight than the church (which has billions of dollars and centuries-old hierarchical secrecy on its side, by the way). He also compares accusers to agents of Satan seeking to discredit the entire Church.
Riiiiiiiiight.
Related: Shocking new book claims 80% of Vatican priests are really gay
As the New Civil Rights Movement explains, this claim is particularly a fine bit of self-serving BS, seeing as Papa Ratzi himself helped cover up the church’s international child rape ring for years:
Before becoming Pope Benedict he was Cardinal Joseph Aloisius Ratzinger, the Vatican’s man in charge of managing the growing revelations of the Catholic Church’s child sexual abuse scandal. Ratzinger has been accused of personally making decisions to not punish priests who raped young and teen boys but to ship them off to other dioceses, where they often committed their crimes on an entirely new population.
During his eight years serving as God’s agent on Earth (haha), Ratzinger used his Christmas address to call gay people a threat to world peace. Many LGBTQ organizations celebrated his unexpectedly early retirement in 2013.

Let him speak. The more he says, the more he proves the opposite of his own points. When a man this demented is respected by his peers, elected into higher positions, and considered the best they have to offer, it speaks not only of him but of all those who choose him. And every Catholic parishioner who continues to give a tithe is part of this.

Organized religion is solely a power structure where a small group controls the masses through fear and violence. Religion is fundamentally immoral and evil. Faith and spirituality are distinct from religion and have merits.

He looks very much like the Emperor from Star Wars, that guy named Palpatine. Religion is poison.

BXVI is your typical self loathing closet case. Some of those outfits he wore during his papacy would have qualified him for a guest shot on “Drag Race.” That and living with “Gorgeous Georg” for years. My sixth grade teacher in Catholic school, a laywoman, use to say that what we hate (fear) most in others is what we’re most guilty of ourselves. Quite right, Ratzi’s living proof of it.

God did not make him look like the devil for no reason. God made him look like the Devil so we would know who we were following.

You are very correct. he looks so demonic. It is very creepy looking!

When he was up for election I prayed to God that he didn’t get elected to be Pope. That was just on the basis of how he looked, his face, his eyes. My prayers were NOT answered and there you have it. He looks a little possessed. “You know it when you see it”. (referencing Malcom Gladwell). That said, I am embarrassed that I am so superficial to base my judgment and opinion of another individual on how the person looks. Isn’t that just petty?

…until the spotlight comes back onto him. I wonder how many children got molested while under his watch?
jcoberkrom
Actually very few when compared to the patron saint of pedophile priests John Paul II.
DCguy
The fact that ALL this monster can focus on is “The Gays” tells the story right there.
That and the fact that he went out of his way to hide, cover up, and defend multiple Pedophiles in the church lets us know EXACTLY why he went into the clergy.

When is this old queen going to meet his maker? Wasn’t resigning the papacy enough of a disgrace to get his fanatical anti-gay closeted @ss to go hide away somewhere and shut the f*ck up?

Aint that bitch dead yet.
Some wonderful people die too young, other malignant slugs linger on forever.

Ah, the Vatican Cult of Hypocrisy will always find someone else to blame. They are responsible for the deaths of tens-of-millions of people and the destruction of countless indigenous cultures, but it’s not THEIR fault!

FORMER Pope Versace conveniently misses the fact that the Catholic hierarchy KNOWINGLY facilitated the abuse for decades – (probably for centuries). There is no way the relocation of sexually abusive priests – which occurred around the globe – took place without the Popes knowing about it.
It was clearly the policy – and no worldwide policy would ever have gone on for that long without it being sanctioned (if not actually formulated) by the Vatican including the Pope himself.

The hat hes wearing tells me whom ever designed it (and convinced them popes to wear it) is definitely a drag queen.

Papa Ratzi seems to have forgotten that Catholic Priests take the vow of Chastity. It’s ludicrous to blame sexual misbehavior of priests on the so called “sexual revolution.”

In this picture, he looks like a Doppelganger of the evil emperor in the Star Wars movies. I remember watching TV when the white smoke came out of the Sistine Chapel chimney to signify that the group of withered old men had chosen a new pope. As soon as Ratzinger came out on the balcony, hand to God, my first thought was “now there is one evil dude.” I was right.

Catholic bashing is so done. Can’t we just agree that Catholics suck and move on? It’s been done to death and the idea of bashing these people any longer is kinda old fashioned. I’m starting to think we’re talking about world war two or something. This just gets weird after a while.

EmperorPalpatineSayzWhat?
Oh, wait, wasn’t he literally in charge of investigating child abuse by the clergy as his job before he was elevated to the highest office in the church?
Maybe his thoughts and prayers can get his god to intervene with the fire at Notre Dame.
Oops, too soon?
They can sell off a couple of solid gold naked cherubs from the Basilica of St. Peter in the Vatican and build 100 more Notre Dames.
And, maybe tell their clergy to keep it in their pants so they don’t have to keep paying out millions of dollars in settlements to sexual abuse victims.
Thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers.

Now wearing that Hat is a bit of a statement I say!

and who or what was responsible then for all the abuse in the decades before the 1960’s.
