I’ve suggested for some time that the Pope may be on the ropes for knowingly permitting predatory priests to remain on the prowl. Is it possible he may soon be on the stand as well, could he and his co-conspirators face a trial? Can the Pope be charged with Perjury?
Two powerful pieces sat on my desktop this morning.
In “Bearing False Witness: The Pope Commits Perjury” at News Junkie Post Liam Fox writes brilliantly, “The evidence continues to mount and the mantle of blame begins to cloak the entire hierarchy of the Church.” This is a post you do not want to miss.
That we even have to read terms like “pedophile priests” and “Pope commits Perjury” is sad enough. That these crimes, perpetrated by pervert priests against defenseless children, was covered up at all, is in itself, a Crime Against Humanity.
In a post on The Raw Story, “UN Judge Calls for Prosecution of Pope Benedict” author Stephen C. Webster builds on a story on the GuardianUK, by quoting Geoffrey Robertson, a United Nations Jurist and human rights lawyer. The Pope should “Feel the full weight of international law.”
Think of it for just a moment. Cardinal Ratzinger and his cronies not only tried to hush the cries of the victims, in many instances the team of co-conspirators left the demented, criminal priests in place, in position to molest again and again. This is only partly about a coverup; the aiding and abetting makes this case cruelly disgusting.
In this situation, it will not be enough to cut the head off the snake; it seems that the disease goes farther down the serpent.
