Despite outrage from critics, popes rarely resign

NEW YORK (AP) — The uproar caused by reports that, as an archbishop years ago in Germany and later as a Vatican cardinal, Benedict and his aides were slow to defrock abusive priests, cannot be explained as the church equivalent of Watergate with the pope in the role of U.S. president.

Tell the Pope to go...
Please tell me why these abusive corrupt clergy, who care more for politics then young Johnny can still walk this earth unmolested themselves. Oh that's right lets just go back 100's of years to the Christian Crusades, maybe to Pope Pious...ect. They have been raping this land for centuries in the name of God.
Damn Catholicism......only by birth, never by will.

It will be a wonderful day in history when the church collapses. Institutionalizing spirituality in the form of religion is one thing, but the dogmatic and bureaucratic extreme to which the Vatican has taken this process has only been a monkey wrench in the cogs of human progression and evolution. Centuries of violent crusades, forced worship in foreign lands, open prejudice against other faiths as well as things like sexual preference, and now in the last fifteen years - widespread pedophilia.
