Vatican Damage Control? Not so Good.

 Seems everyone else on the planet is responsible for the abuse, except the Vatican & Pope. They've blamed the Jews, the homosexuals (what about all the abused little girls that no one ever talks about?) and the Media.  All this from men in dresses, no less! France just called them out on it.
From the BBC:
The Vatican has sought to "clarify" remarks made by a senior cardinal, who linked homosexuality with paedophilia in the abuse scandal facing the Church.

A spokesman provided "data" to support the claim, but also said Church leaders were not trying to make assertions of a "psychological or medical nature". Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone said it was homosexuality - not clerical celibacy - which lay behind the abuse of children.

Earlier, France condemned the cardinal for making "an unacceptable linkage".

Earlier this month, Pope Benedict's personal preacher apologised for having compared criticism of the Roman Catholic Church over abuse allegations to "the collective violence suffered by the Jews". In a sermon, Father Raniero Cantalamessa likened allegations that the Vatican had systematically hushed up cases of sexual abuse of children by priests to the "most shameful aspects of anti-Semitism", with the use of stereotypes and the spreading of collective guilt.

The Vatican said his remarks did not represent its official view. 
Maybe Ratzi will choose to remain in Chile.  It appears the circular firing squad motif is in vogue at the Vatican at present and damage control isn't working as the scandal grows by the day. Jesus weeps.

More later.

  1. I was wondering when the fags were going to be dragged onto stage as the cause of all ilks.

    Bottom line - they were still priests and under Church authority - so how come no action?
