Shocking Video Reveals Pope In ‘Action’ Over Priest Scandal

By Queerty Staff April 21, 2010 at 9:04am · 8 comments

So, after his little get together with abuse victims, Pope Benedict XVI is promising “action” to deal with what’s clearly a scandal that’s not going away. Might we demonstrate what the pope’s “action” looked like on Sunday, at a Mass in Malta:

    Well my favorite part was when they tried to come out and throw John Paul 2 under the bus, saying that THIS Pope when he was a Cardinal was trying to push for more to be done with abusive priests. But two things happened.

    1. Lay Catholics freaked out because John Paul 2 was beloved, and the church had been pushing for his cannonization.

    2. Those letters appeared showing that THIS Pope had squashed investigations. Probably found and released by somebody who didn’t want to see the John Paul smeared.

    this Pope can do no right, I will not be surprised when some kids who they have paid off come forward to talk about him abusing them. It’s only a matter of time. Remember, he slapped a reporter a few years ago for asking him a question…somebody like that MUST have been much more abusive when nobody was around.
