Pope Benedict Protects Pedophile Bishops

Pope Benedict Protects Pedophile Bishops

Even as he told reporters on his flight to America that he was "deeply ashamed" over the church sex abuse scandal, Pope Benedict was accused by victims of protecting some 19 bishops accused of sexually abusing children.

"As a Catholic, I have to sadly conclude that he is not serious about ridding the church of corrupt bishops," said Anne Doyle, co-director of BishopAccountability.org, a group tracking public records involving the bishops.

According to the group, of the 19 bishops "credibly accused of abusing children," none has lost his title, been publicly censured by the Vatican or referred for criminal prosecutions.


This is disgusting. The Pope continues to claim that he is serious about handling the problem of Catholic priests molesting little children for their own sick pleasure, yet he does nothing to stop it. Read more about it in the article Catholic Church to pay $660 million for abuse.
