Bull**** story about a bull**** priest. He's finished. No one makes the pope resign except God.
Papal Resignations
The first pope to resign without question or qualification was Pietro del Morrone, known as Pope Celestine V. He was elected at the age of 85 on July 5, 1296, as the result of a deadlock in a conclave that had already lasted over two years. Until his election Pietro had lived the life of a hermit in central Italy. It was his reputation for holiness that caused the cardinals to turn to him, once it became clear that no cardinal in the conclave could win a majority of votes.
Unfortunately, the new pope had no experience in the complex world of the papacy and barely understood Latin. It soon became clear to everybody, including himself, that he could not carry on. He resigned on Dec. 13, 1296, only six months after his election. Although Dante in his Divine Comedy put him in hell for dereliction of duty, he was canonized in 1313.
The second case was Angelo Correr, known as Gregory XII, who resigned in 1415 under pressure from the Council of Constance, a conference of bishops gathered to settle problems in church practices. At this particular meeting the bishops faced The Western Schism. Papal elections were often contested during the Middle Ages, but they were usually settled in a short time. During this schism, complications worsened and resulted in three men claiming a place as pope.
Once the council met it decided that the only solution to the schism — which had lasted 40 years at this point — was to wipe the slate clean and begin all over again with a new pope. Although the council persuaded Gregory to resign, the other two claimants refused and were formally deposed. The council elected a new pope, Martin V, who was universally accepted.
Pope Benedict, who was head of the Vatican's office on sex abuse cases in the 1990s, did not act to investigate a priest who is believed to have molested 200 children between 1950-1974 at a school for the deaf in Wisconsin.

This one case alone makes the Pope an accessory to child molestation before and after the fact in every case that followed his first knowledge where he failed to act in the interest of the children.
Author, investigator and, documentary producer recently noted that a good portion of Catholic Priests are gay and that it is known within the Church at one level or the other and it seems to me it's a lot like don't ask don't tell and so nothing is ever done about it.
Priests, Ministers, Rabbis, and school teachers, who are know to homosexual should never be left alone with children for any reason because of the possibility of molestations.
Rev. James Scahill has taken a bold and brave position and is to be commended for it.
Celibacy is one of the reasons for these cases but it starts with a basic mental deficiency with the molester, and it can be very hard to spot unless a victim comes forth. However when a victim does speak up swift decisive and severe action needs to be taken.
Former Priest and KGO radio talk show host Berny Ward was accused of molesting children before he left the Priesthood and got married but was still later convicted of child pron so it doesn't seem to go away with time.

The pope should resign. And even if he didn't, I just don't get how the catholic church could possibly keep digging themselves into a hole. They need to come on and admit it all. That way they can have forgiveness, but I guess its do as I say, not as I do.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil - There he was, five decades later, the priest who had raped Joe Callander in Massachusetts. The photo in the Roman Catholic newsletter showed him with a smile across his wrinkled face, near-naked Amazon Indian children in his arms and at his feet.
Disgusting perverted religion.
You have a right to your opinion just as you have a right to be wrong and you are very adept at the later.
Let's be serious it is not the religion but the workers (priests) and really a portion of priests and only those who are the perverts. If a Rabbi molests a Jewish child those that make Judism a "perverted religion". When a Babtist minister bangs boys at a bible camp those that invalidate the entire Babtist reliogion ? Is a Muslin does blah blah blah __________________________ fill in the blanks!!!!

I understand your point, and it's possible that reefedjib wasn't just talking about the molesting. I personally do not like Catholicism because it doesn't accept that people are humans. Every effing thing is a sin. Masturbating is completely normal, and that's a sin? Having sex with someone you're not married to is a sin. Lusting after someone is a sin. It's just ridiculous. I don't know why I didn't leave that religion sooner, but my life has been so much happier since I did. I don't run around feeling guilty all the time for my "thoughts" and actions.

And let's be serious, it is not just the priests who diddled little boys which is a problem. It is not a case of a boy masturbating, or even of a priest masturbating a little boy. It is the church hierarchy hiding these individuals and relocating them to where they could do the same thing all over again, which some of them did. It is about the church hiding it's transgressions.
In the case of the Rabbi, the Jewish synagogue did not hide him. The Baptist minister was not protected by his church. The Muslim acted alone. In the case of the Catholic, the entire church protected him.
So the church is a perverted institution - we have established that. The only question that remains is whether it is fair to claim that the church is the religion, and thus the religion is perverted. I believe the church defines the religion. Without the Catholic church, there is no Catholic religion. Therefore, the Catholic religion is perverted.
