I really don't think thats what was trying to be said....the one comment is being taken COMPLETELY out of context. And just to add...I think CSA is the most horrific thing that can happen to a person...so if I thought thats what he was saying I'd be all over that.

As much as I am not a big fan of Pope Benedict I agree what he said was completely taken out of context to make up the headlines and then get the reactions from others.

I frankly dont see how hes being taken out of context. While he isnt saying pedophelia is a good thing his basic statement may as well have been applied to the spanish inquisition or the Salem witch trials when torture and burning at the stake were considered common legal practices.
Pedophelia is a vile and base and quite frankly evil practice that is even worse coming from an institution that professes to protect and venerate children as much as it does.
the hypocritical message it sends out when it blows off child rape as anything but the most egregious and vile violation of a precious and innocent soul runs along the same lines as saying well rape isnt that bad when no force is used.

And considering his long history of being a main enforcer of the suppression of evidence of priests sexual abuse of children, the headline is no shocking exaggeration.
I know even a lot of strongly observant Catholics were unhappy when he was picked as pope. Some Catholics even view him as the worst pope since Pius XII.

Or...Pope Alexander VI
If you don't know who that is, you can go google it...his crimes were too much to be put in a simple paragraph.

For the love of- Don't bait a debate like that, it's going to be boring and take up at least three pages of the topic. The protestants broke off for their own reasons, not just a widely-asserted singular belief. This was way back in the day, where people had a choice in their life. They could serve different kings, choose different religions, and so on.

I know protestants broke off for various reasons (parents were baptist) my last coment was a dry wit type.
Frankly this thread already polerized in the sence that its about religion(in a way) and people already have stated on both sides of whether or not the pope's comments were out of context or not.

and sadly enough I still don't think it is the dumbest thing Pope Benedict has ever said, but I get no vote when electing Popes or there would have been a woman their long ago.

Yeah those were the days, Ahh
