Bishop 'blames Jews' for criticism of Catholic church record on abuse
A furious transatlantic row has erupted over quotes that were attributed to a retired Italian bishop, which suggested that Jews were behind the current criticism of the Catholic church's record on tackling clerical sex abuse.
A website quoted Giacomo Babini, the emeritus bishop of Grosseto, as saying he believed a "person who believes in the development and protection of a Jewish nation attack" was behind the criticism, considering how "powerful and refined" the criticism is.
The comments, which have been denied by the bishop, follow a series of statements from Catholic churchmen alleging the existence of plots to weaken the church and Pope Benedict XVI.
Allegedly speaking to the Catholic website Pontifex, Babini, 81, was quoted as saying: "They do not want the church, they are its natural enemies. Deep down, historically speaking, the Jews are God killers."
The interview was spotted on Friday by the American Jewish Committee, which said Babini was using "slanderous stereotypes, which sadly evoke the worst Christian and Nazi propaganda prior to world war two".
On its website, the American Jewish Group Committee quoted bishop Vincenzo Paglia, an official at the Italian Bishops' Conference, as saying Babini's remarks were "entirely contrary to the official line and mainstream thought of the Catholic church".
As the interview appeared on Italy's main newspaper sites today, complete with the American reaction, the Bishops' Conference rushed out a statement quoting Babini denying he had ever given the interview in the first place. "Statements I have never made about our Jewish brothers have been attributed to me," he said.
Babini has previously been quoted on the Pontifex website accusing Jews of exploiting the Holocaust, as well as criticising homosexuality.
As cases of alleged priestly abuse emerge in the US and Europe, Benedict's handling of proven molesters before he became pope in 2005 has now been questioned in cases in Munich, Wisconsin and, most recently, in California, where his signature appears on an 1985 letter resisting calls to defrock a paedophile priest.

He also implicitly called them powerful and refined. :tophats Wilco?
-
Obviously, pedophilic Jews infiltrated the Church, became priests and started raping kids just to give the Church a black eye. It's all been planned from the very start.

The Catholic Church should just come out and admit that they're an organization that exists largely to make money and enable their priests to fuck young boys.

Like I said everybody is welcome in the Catholic Church :heart

There are plenty of good priests out there. They're just overshadowed by the power-huuungrayyyy bishops and pedos.
-
The Catholic Church is like any institution. The higher ups just want to move ahead and not deal with any problems.
-
Any other institution would probably be facing a criminal probe by now
-
The Catholic Church is a business, and business is a-boomin'.

Instead it's the altar boys who are facing a probe. :teehee

Which organization is worse: the mafia or the Catholic Church?

The heads aren't paying for it because like any multi-national company they can hide overseas.

Nah the Chruch is dying especially in Europe. It's been losing a lot of it's paying members to evangelicals. That's why they want to expand to places like India, China etc.

The Catholic Church according to Dan Brown :teehee

Say what you will about the mafia, they have a code of honor that stops shy of systemic boy fucking and protection and enabling of said boy fuckers. The Church is a fucking joke at this point and anyone here or anywhere else trying to pretend otherwise is pretty much tacitly endorsing boy fucking.
-
That being said I don't understand why people are bringing up celibacy as some sort of reason for peadophilia. There are 'plenty' of priests that have had affairs with female and male members of their Church.
-
Celibacy gives a cloak to these predators. Also, like about 3/4 of Catholic doctrine it's horseshit.

with no basis in the bible!
What's the name of that pyramid thingie of human needs. Sex is on there, and if you don't have sex you go crazy and molest kids I guess
-
It's the position of trust and access to children.
So PD when are you going to start molesting kids?
See this is why people don't know if you're a joke character or not.
-
I'm getting the impression you're passively defending the Catholic church.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs, that's the name
-
Nah, my whole point wasn't that celibacy leads to boy fucking (which is more fun to say than child molesting, let's be honest here) but rather it attracts a certain type of individual to the clergy who uses that and the institution of the Church itself to give themselves a veritable buffet of supple young flesh. Over time, pedophile priests rise in power in the Church and it becomes a systemic problem over probably hundreds if not thousands of years. GOOD JON, CATHOLICS!
-
I agree with Biff.
PD: I'm not defending the Church- I'm defending celibacy as a choice.
-
I dunno, I'm sure many priests fall into that category. But it seems like many more don't even see...fucking boys as something that's wrong or that breaks their vows. It's hard to explain, but I'd imagine they have some way of justifying this shit, and of course it's well hidden by the higher ups

if you don't have sex you go crazy and molest kids
Tell us what you have done PD.
I love the confession game!
-
If you don't have sex, you have to some kind of outlet for those urges. I bet Maurice does all kinds of freaky shit.

Exactly my point.

PD, how often do you have 68?
-
The speed limit of sex because at 69, you have to turn around.
Oral sex on a snowman
:lol
