This doesn’t happen very often but, I retract what I said about the Pope. That man has had his every step logged since the moment he set his foot on our soil. I haven’t posted about his travels, but I have been following, or news stalking, him throughout his voyage.

Pope Benedict the XVI has actually been plugging away at the issues with our Catholic Churches. He has been trying to help those who fell victim to the Priests and wanting to do more.

“We are still far from closure,” said Rev. Richard McBrien, a professor of theology at Notre Dame and editor of the Encyclopedia of Catholicism. “Some bishops who covered up these crimes and exposed children and young people to serious risk of abouse are still in office.”

“It’s clear that we now have a pope who is concerned about this most serious problem to hit the Catholic Church since the Reformation of the 16th century, and the most serious problem in U.S. Catholic history,” McBrien added.

The world has a busy Pope on their hands, hes trying to solve the many issues with the molestation scandal and for that I salute him. Seriously though, the Pope is 81 and doesn’t have much life left in his Mortal Kombat health bar. I’m afraid that Pope Benedict XVI will not be able to tackle the whole team before he kicks it, but I could see him making a shopping cart size dent in your brand new Mercedes.

This whole abuse scandal got started in Boston in 2002 when many U.S. dioceses began trying to cover up the lawsuits with settlements. The biggest cover-up controversy is when the Los Angeles Archdiocese agreed to pay $660 million to 508 victims in July.

Cult leader versus Pope, hilarious attack on the Catholic Church by Bill Maher

The Pope hits the U.S. Will he solve the rape issues?

Catholic Church spent $615 million on sexual abuse cases in 2007

Bill Maher did a fantastic segment on Catholic Church.  He ranted and boy did he rant, about the Catholic Church versus Cult Religions.

The thing that caught my attention was the few hundred people that cults mess with and they get raided, but the few thousands of people molested and the Catholic Church gets parades.

Bill Maher said everything that I’ve always wanted to say but bit my tongue in fear of angering a few friends.  To be honest though, it’s all true.  If you guys, you church goers, would sit back and look at the facts, remember your childhood… then you’d see how deceitful and disgusting religion is, now Christians are a little better off, but Catholics are the ones condoning the molestation of these thousands of children, world wide.  Think about that next time you sit in church listening to the Priest who could have molested someone just before he waltz up to lecture you about sins.

So, I don’t know how many of you know or care, but the Pope is supposed to spend the next five days in the glorious country in which I live. That’s right folks, the Pope is hitting the U.S. in an epic adventure, where I certainly hope he handles some of the negative controversy towards their religion…

Back in March, I wrote the bit about the Catholic Church spending Catholic Church spent $615 million on sexual abuse cases in 2007. Honestly though, even if the Pope does not resolve even half the issues involved, it really wouldn’t put too much of a damper on their existence. Catholic Priests have been molesting their followers for years and years, that shows people in their 60’s to late 70’s standing in protest to the Catholic Church and the Pope.

What an incredibly juicy and controversial piece of TRASH, religion is such a joke. These Priests molest people who have similar beliefs in religion as them, they disrespect their God, disrespect everything they stand for, but when it comes time for them to take responsibility for what they have done, the Pope pays their settlement? THAT IS BULLSHIT. Seriously, if the Pope wants to stand by and let this ridiculousness continue under his ‘roof’ then, why do people continue to be Catholics? Are they brainwashed? Blackmailed? What is the deal?

Roger Kusch, a former top-level German politician, has invented what he calls a “suicide machine.” The machine is aimed at patients who are terminally ill and want to die. Unfortunately it seems that the medical community, German politicians and churches are having a cow about Kusch’s presentation of the killing machine.

From my point of view the machine sounds good, those who know they are going to die are able to suicide painlessly? I know, it sounds morbid, but think about it. What is worse than dying? Suffering as your health fades, your mind fades and then you’re a vegetable that depends on the care of others to sustain life for those last days.

I have had people close to me pass after a long illness, and I loved every minute I got with them, but for the pain involved, physical as well as emotion, it might not be worth it to some. True, not everyone who is dying has the same experience, but from what I have seen… It isn’t a walk in the park.

Some jerk named Wolfgang Huber, the head of Germany’s Lutheran Church, says that, “society must help terminally ill patients deal with their pain rather then accepting suicide as an option.” Well my question is, does he have a disease that is only giving him 6 months to live? If not, he needs to sit down and shut up. The only people who should get to vote for or against the use of a suicide booth should be the terminally ill community. Huber says, “it is against the spirit of our ethics, the spirit of our ethical tradition, the spirit of the Christian image of a human person and against the spirit of our law.” Well screw that, spirits and Christian’s can suck it and believe in God when they are the ones on the chopping block of life.

Kudos to Kusch:

“To those who criticize me, I say: it is none of your business,” Kusch said angrily when confronted with the criticism. He says churches and politicians are using phony and cynical arguments and that he believes a majority of Germans have already accepted assisted suicide as an option.

“There are people who are suffering, and who can’t deal with the pain anymore, and I want to help those people.”
