A secret document which sets out a procedure for dealing with child sex abuse scandals within the Catholic Church is examined by Panorama. Crimen Sollicitationis was enforced for 20 years by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger before he became the Pope. It instructs bishops on how to deal with allegations of child abuse against priests and has been seen by few outsiders. Critics say the document has been used to evade prosecution for sex crimes. It instructs them how to deal with priests who solicit sex from the confessional. It also deals with “any obscene external act … with youths of either sex.” It imposes an oath of secrecy on the child victim, the priest dealing with the allegation and any witnesses. Breaking that oath means excommunication from the Catholic Church. Watch the documentary:

Skepchick zero’s it down: But please stop believing that you need to give money, time, trust, and love to this vile organization of real-life demons and monsters. You might think your parish is different, that your priest is better, but please remember that that’s what everybody else thought, too. They don’t care about your soul. They don’t care about your life. They don’t care about your kids. They will take your money to buy more gold crosses, and they will rape you and hide the evidence.

The Devil is living in the Vatican, says the Pope’s chief exorcist. Well if that’s the case, burn down the Vatican and burn the hypocrits that live there. Problem solved.

Penn & Teller, Bullshit! The Vatican from Brewster on Vimeo.
Penn & Teller discuss the Catholic Church and their involvement in anti-homosexuality efforts, condom use, and the cover up of the priest abuse sex scandal. They talk with an Italian comedian that was punished for criticizing Pope Benedict the XVI.

As the Pope concerned, if he believes what he is saying, he is incredibly naive. If he doesn’t, he is truly an evil man. His remark on the usage of condoms during his visit to Afrika shows again that he and his club are so far out of touch with reality it is pathetic. Their teachings promote over-population and will promote the spread of HIV. Unfassbar.
Update
Pope Benedict yesterday urged Catholics in Angola to curb the influence of witchcraft. He told Christians to convert those who believe in "sorcery and evil powers". The 81-year-old Pontiff, who was on a week-long African trip, said: "In today’s Angola, Catholics should offer the message of Christ to the many who live in the fear of spirits, of evil powers by whom they feel threatened and disoriented." Right, that’s exactly what missionaries in Africa are doing for ages, robbing these people of their heritage, personal believes and feeding them with Christian nonsense and fear. Motto: Change you evil imaginary friends for our imaginary friend and all will be good. Crackhead Benedict seems to forget that he and his murderers club are mainly responsible for the bad politic and economical situation in Afrika. I wonder if his message of Christ is what they really need at the moment.
