Yes I agree that some priests have behaved in such a shameful manner which was totally against the teachings of that religion.

This was down to the individuals as it is indeed with regard to anyone who breaks the law in society, and they deserve whatever punishment they get.

Do you think the priests' behaviour was encouraged by the present Pope?

Do I think the Pope encouraged his priests to rape children? What are you trying to do here, get me sacked?

Maybe so, but this kind of this would only be considered banter up here. I doubt he actually has anything against catholics.

But hey, we know what the world is like and how the media play things out... no doubt he had to lose his job.
