Popes brother accused of child abuse

[eroticartist]

A big child abuse scandal is erupting in Germany with the Pope's brother accused of abusing children in an ophanage. I bet that "God's representive on Earth" is getting a bit worried who is going to be next!

Child abuse in the Catholic church has been rife since at least the 4th century - about 1,700 years now. The Catholic church has the nerve to lecture African couples on condom use, even if it means AIDS cases may increase, yet they regard a Priest raping a choirboy as ok. The Catholic church is a hideous institution, it is more about power, money, and child abuse than religion.

But your average catholic choir boy is fucked in the ****

I was aware a story had broken that claimed that children in a choir where the Pope's brother had at some time (though not necessarily at the same time of the alleged abuses) been director/choir master had been abused, but I was unaware that he had been named directly as one of the abusers... or is this you, like Max Tranmere, coming to your own conclusions?

The Pope's brother has admitted repeatedly slapping children in the face.

There are plans for a German enquiry into a number of complaints of persistent child abuse, both physical and sexual by members of the choir he ran for 30 years.

Did you hear about the Irish exorcism?
The mother had to call in the devil to get the priest out of her son!

What do a penis and a bible have in common?
They both get shoved down your throat by catholic priests!

I think you'll find that pretty much any teacher in the 60s could be accused of child abuse in that case!! At the grammar school I attended in the 70s, having board rubbers and pieces of chalk thrown at your head with force was a daily occurrence, as were clips round the ear, the slipper and canings!

The original poster made it seems as if the Pope's brother had been sexually abusing children (given the alleged sexual abuse of children by Catholic priests is high on the agenda at the moment)

I'm not saying slapping children across the face is justified, but it's fairly typical of many posters in this forum to misinterpret information and then post (with suitable spin to make it look like "I told you so") misinformation as "fact"
