forget the accusations…why is the pope so significant!? Like whats the big deal? He is just a man…a human being, like the rest of us! To be more important than others, or appeat more important is contradictory to the whole religeon!! I dont understand the big deal! To me the pope is as relevant as someone on the till at a supermarket.

just so evil !

The innocence of the Pope can be proven by a lie detector test administrated on prime time. Out of respect for a holy man only one question should be asked: HAVE YOU EVER SODOMIZED ANY CHILD, OR PROTECTED ANOTHER THAT DID? If the answer is no, he should be accepted as leader of the Catholic Church. If the machine starts blinking and whistling, he should confess to being a fallen angel and forgiven.

Evidence of Pedophilia among the priesthood will not shake the faith of parishioners. Evidence is a tool of Satan to bolster the forces of the Antichrist. Belief in the glory of Gods word spoken through the Pope will go on.

It is a tragedy when a religious man enters the priesthood promising to remain celibate finds that he cannot control himself. It is also a tragedy for the altar boy that has his faith and sphincter destroyed. Blame it on Satan for making a pious man a slave to his lowest instinct.

The best kept secret is that there are over 100 million Americans that are non believers. Due to the myth that only a believer can be trusted most are afraid to confess their secret, but the day is not far off when a confessed non believer will become president. On that day, those that pray to a sky god will be considered insane.

The council of cardinals has finally realized that commercial endorsements are more profitable than moral ones. Exchanging the red slippers worn by the Pope for NIKES will give the Vatican millions. Not only should the Pope hand out condoms he should have his photo on the packaging wearing one. It would do more for preventing abortions than all his sermons.

just a bit of info, my dear departed jewish grandmother knew the pope during WW2, she was horrified for christianity when he was made pope, as much as he denys wanting to be in the nazi youth he took pleasure in bullying people and was quite enthusiastic in the elimination of jews who he believed were a threat to humanity, you may note that he also labelled homosexuals as aslo being a threat to humanity, it looks like the nazi propoganda is still strong in his mind. This pope will split the catholic church and cause more damage than when Englands Henry the 8th ditched catholasism.

really disgusting americans why are you all blaming the pope…you are bringing stories of years ago and not putting them into the context of time…for example years ago it was a scandal for women to wear bikini today its not you need to see things from a context…and bdw your nation is such a shame in all senses in all sectors so long for your values LAIRS!!

i'll never buy a car from this guy

But, surely, he brings an important contribute to the modernization of his church. This is what he declared in 1990 (!):
“The Church at the time of Galileo kept much more closely to reason than did Galileo himself, and she took into consideration the ethical and social consequences of Galileo's teaching too. Her verdict against Galileo was rational and just, and the revision of this verdict can be justified only on the grounds of what is politically opportune.”
