Sede Vacante - Benedict XVI

The Roman Catholic Church has not had a real, human or decent pope since John XXIII.

Sede Vacate. The chair of Peter remains empty.

On and on it goes..Joe's own brother an abuser. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree... Anonymous Comment to my e-mail

The pope is not guilty of his brother's sins. The tsunami of corruption that now is the hallmark of the Catholic past and present will not go away with apologies or insincere attempts to reform this corrupt dysfunctional system of rule.

Pope's brother admits to slapping as abuse reports grow

BERLIN (AP) — The pope's brother said in a newspaper interview published Tuesday that he slapped pupils as punishment after he took over a renowned German boys' choir in the 1960s. He also said he was aware of allegations of physical abuse at an elementary school linked to the choir but did nothing about it.

The Rev. Georg Ratzinger, 86, said he was completely unaware of allegations of sexual abuse at the Regensburger Domspatzen boys choir, part of a string of charges of sex abuse by church employees across Europe in recent days.

It is very sad. The partial admission does not shade the overall genetic corruption and abuse of the system.

I get a sense of panic in the official words. The wagons are circled. Nothing will change. Benedict's pontificate is over. He is a failure figuratively as well as literally.

With the return to a Medieval mentality of present and recent hierarchies, comes the medieval "Pornocracy" - the rule by whores (bishops) of the Church.

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Watch the race to the doors out of the temples, and more local scandals, the bishops with their pockets full of cash now deserting a sinking ship. Maybe a few indictments will happen etc. Yeah right.

Sad. Very sad.
