Pope Caught Orchestrating Church Pedophile Cover Up A BBC documentary has exposed that Pope Benedict XVI, aka Cardinal Ratzinger, played a leading role in a systematic cover-up of child sex abuse by Roman Catholic priests. In 2001, while he was a cardinal, he issued a secret Vatican edict to Catholic bishops all over the world, instructing them to put the Church's interests ahead of child safety. The document recommended that rather than reporting sexual abuse to the relevant legal authorities, bishops should encourage the victim, witnesses and perpetrator not to talk about it. And, to keep victims quiet, it threatened that if they repeat the allegations they would be excommunicated. A secret document which sets out a procedure for dealing with child sex abuse scandals within the Catholic Church is examined by BBC documentary show Panorama. Crimen Sollicitationis was enforced for 20 years by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger before he became the Pope. It instructs bishops on how to deal with allegations of child abuse against priests and has been seen by few outsiders. Critics say the document has been used to evade prosecution for sex crimes. Crimen Sollicitationis was written in 1962 in Latin and given to Catholic bishops worldwide who are ordered to keep it locked away in the church safe. It instructs them how to deal with priests who solicit sex from the confessional. It also deals with "any obscene external act ... with youths of either sex." It imposes an oath of secrecy on the child victim, the priest dealing with the allegation and any witnesses. Breaking that oath means excommunication from the Catholic Church. Reporting for Panorama, Colm O'Gorman finds seven priests with child abuse allegations made against them living in and around the Vatican City. One of the priests, Father Joseph Henn, has been indicted on 13 molestation charges brought by a grand jury in the United States. During filming for Sex Crimes and the Vatican, Colm finds Father Henn is fighting extradition orders from inside the headquarters of this religious order in the Vatican. The Vatican has not compelled him to return to America to face the charges against him. After filming, Father Henn lost his fight against extradition but fled the headquarters and is believed to be hiding in Italy while there is an international warrant for his arrest. Colm O'Gorman was raped by a Catholic priest in the diocese of Ferns in County Wexford in Ireland when he was 14 years old. Father Fortune was charged with 66 counts of sexual, indecent assault and another serious sexual offence relating to eight boys but he committed suicide on the eve of his trial. Colm started an investigation with the BBC in March 2002 which led to the resignation of Dr Brendan Comiskey, the bishop leading the Ferns Diocese. Colm then pushed for a government inquiry which led to the Ferns Report. It was published in October 2005 and found: "A culture of secrecy and fear of scandal that led bishops to place the interests of the Catholic Church ahead of the safety of children." The Catholic Church has 50 million children in its worldwide congregation and no universal child protection policy although in the UK there is the Catholic Office for the Protection of Children & Vulnerable Adults. In some countries this means that the Crimen Sollicitationis is the only policy followed. The Vatican has refused repeated requests from Panorama to respond to any of the cases shown in the film.

The Papacy and all High Priests for that matter have a clear record of murdering children from time immemorial.
If a thousand men were not to pay their tax bills this year, that would not be a violent and bloody measure, as it would be to pay them, and enable the State to commit violence and shed innocent blood. Henry David Thoreau - 1849
I don't know, you could be right.
The Roman Church is nothing more than the old Roman Empire disguised as an organized religion and a part of the NWO Conspiracy. Always expect a morally corrupt empire to mantain its moral corruption regardles of the form it morphs into.
That is interesting. And quite well said. Of course, when you state that, you should mention the things that the Roman church has brought into Christianity, such as; worshiping idols immortal soul a fiery hell where people will be tortured for a trillion years, just for starters going to heaven salvation without works Oh, and please do not forget the trinity. NEVER forget that the Roman church brought the trinity into Christianity in the 4th century. But hey, what do I know. And there are a lot more things, but this is OK for starters.
Daniel 2:44 “And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite;.
I would be careful what you say; after all, these are the people who brought you the wonderful trinity in the 4th century. Can't be all bad, right?
Daniel 2:44 “And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite;.
Richard. Go to hell.
Actually Romanism brought Salvation WITH Works into Christianity (Mass, Confession, Lent, Celebacy for Priests, Religious Orders, etc.)
The existence of this document means that The Church is an organized criminal conspiracy and should be charged under RICO. Unfortunately, too many of our leaders also have a fondness for little boys' asses.
ANY and ALL organized religion is suspect. Even the JW. If you could be a fly on the wall at the JW leadership meetings, and in their houses, and in their bedrooms, and in the other dark areas, what do you think you would find? You'd find things just as rotten. It's usually the people that claim to be holier-than-thou that are the biggest perverts out there. Just because JW get some doctrinal things right doesn't mean they are all that special and great.

You are correct. I should have been careful how I stated that. What I meant, and did not say AT ALL! Is that they removed the requirements of the Bible and placed their priests between the people and Jehovah instead of teaching what the Bible says needs to be done.
Daniel 2:44 “And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite;.
