The HBO documentary covered quite a bit of the cover up, stating what Benedict knew and did nothing about, after being appointed by Pope John Paul when Joseph Ratzinger was still a cardinal....to look at every case (which came to his desk) of every incident of pedophile priests from all over the world.........and he and the Pope met once a week.

We read all of the BOSTON GLOBE'S expose articles years ago which exposed what was going on in the Boston area......plus dozens of books written by priests themselves who had left the priesthood out of disgust of what was going on........

Coast to coast, victims have come forward and the church has paid out millions upon millions, selling off their churches and properties to pay the victims for their suffering..........

Click hyperlink above and read all the way to the bottom......read it in its entirety. Also, if you can, watch the HBO documentary..........which I mentioned in earlier post.

It's a rough outline , or condensation, of what you will read in all the older books, newspaper articles of who knew what and when they knew it. Again, that HBO documentary was very informational about the deaf children who were abused......

Priests were part of those explaining the problem on that documentary........explaining that this has been going on much longer than the most recent scandals...........and the two most recent Popes knew about it, as did the Cardinals and the Bishops.

They just swept it all under the rug until it was too late to hide it any longer. Most Catholics we know "do not have their heads in the sand" and know what went on. Again, it is sad. I feel for all those children. It happened in orphanages as well......and among the Lakota Sioux Indians who were taught by priests and brothers.

Again, it was pervasive.............

We were raised Roman Catholic and we raised our children Roman Catholic. Our kids are not raising theirs in the same faith, but in another faith. There is only ONE GOD.

Also read about the Legion of Christ and Father Marcial Maciel.

I truly loved Pope John Paul, but he obviously knew what this priest was doing all along...........as did Cardinal Ratzinger.
It's just the tip of the iceburg. Actually, priests said that they found documentation of such abuse going on back in the 400 church (papal records 4th century of church records of pedophile priests).
