It is clear that the pope did'nt/never tolerate priests unlawful act to his community. As far as i know we even criticized them and let them off from their vocations. And, there is a law that will prosecute them and give the appropriate action...am i right? No man is perfect in this world, even the pope Benedict himself trying to hope to be a worthy successor to St. Peter. He encourage us Christians to be faithful and hopeful with everything to God despite the trials we encountered in our daily lives. We will pray together not only for ourselves intentions but we must also include other people and especially the priests then in our prayers - to remain them faithful to their vocations and do good works in their parish... PEACE to everybody:)...
I am the manager of an online support group for adult women who've been sexually abused and exploited by Catholic priests. The Pope's visit has proven hurtful for us all in that Benedict only apologized to victims of pedophile priests and did not extend his apologies to adult victims or the out-of-wedlock children of priests, whose fathers take no responsibility for meeting their children's needs. While law enforcement agencies are rounding up members of polygamous cults to answer to civil law, Catholic priests continue to father many children by many women and girls. No one calls them polygamous or immoral. Priests do that secure in the knowledge that unlike most 'deadbeat dads' priests aren't likely to be held accountable to provide child support, nor will superiors demand they leave the priesthood. Ms. Warren and I both know the number of women abused by priests outnumbers child victims, 4-1. Our data source? A former monk turned psychologist. When does the hypocrisy end?
