The Pope

A new take on an old story.

The Pope last night criticised American church leaders for their handling of sex abuse scandals but said that an increasingly secular society needed to shoulder some of the blame.

Pardon me? Why should secular society take any blame for a Catholic priest raping a child? Surely the only people who can be blamed are a) the Priests in question b) those within the organisation that protected and promoted those who were committing sexual offences against children.

And perhaps the Cardinal who ordered the cover up in the first place. Now let me think - who was that ?

Well he might have done it in a secular way, RS. :)

And of course America is the most religious country in the West.
