The Pope does a body good, he is saving the name of Catholicism

Pope Benedict XVI
VATICAN POPE

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.

    I only WISH the Pope was a character in Mortal Kombat. I don’t think he’d do very well on those “Test Your Might” bonus stages though.
