    http://web.archive.org/web/200206071...up_020426.html

    Wow. Wonder why ABC took that article down. Also strange how CNN/FOX/MSNBC and everyone else have been covering this new pope story 24/7 yet have failed to mention any of this. Fascist bastards.

    Hopefully for us, ABC will learn to bypass archive.org for articles they don't want us to see anymore, like CNN did a long time ago. After all, we don't want to be getting any information that 5 corporations don't want us to have. It's not easy to send information down the memory hole with bastards like archive.org messing it up.

    For those too lazy to read the entire thing:

    The accusers say Vatican-based Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who heads the Vatican office to safeguard the faith and the morals of the church, quietly made the lawsuit go away and shelved it. There was no investigation and the accusers weren't asked a single question or asked for a statement.

    He was appointed by the pope to investigate the entire sex abuse scandal in the church in recent days. But when approached by ABCNEWS in Rome last week with questions of allegations against Maciel, Ratzinger became visibly upset and actually slapped this reporter's hand.

    "Come to me when the moment is given," Ratzinger told ABCNEWS, "not yet."

    "Cardinal Ratzinger is sheltering Maciel, protecting him," said Berry, who expressed concerns that no response was being given to the allegations against the man charged with sex abuse. "These men knelt and kissed the ring of Cardinal Ratzinger when they filed the case in Rome. And a year-and-a-half later, he takes those accusations and aborts them, just stuffs them."

        FYI, this is also the Cardinal who said John Kerry shouldn't get communion because he's not against abortion. We're in for a hell of a couple years, hopefully this bastard will die sooner than later. I didn't see enough 24/7 coverage of a chimney on the "news" to last me very long, I need more chimney action!

          Well clearly this is just the kind of person the other cardinals want to head the Catholic Church. Maybe too many Catholics in the media feel they will go to hell if they don't whitewash all of this.

            Almost no (real) journalists are religious.

                    So, you like raping children. Thanks your input cambaby, very helpful. That's a great cause you're supporting, protecting child molesters. Your parents must be proud.

                    I didn't mention anything about Bush or Nazi's. It's the raping kids that bothers me. Hopefully it will your kids next and not mine.

                      Why do you pull environmentalism into this? Environmentalism doesn't have anything to do with the idiotic two-way scale of politics, although I'll admit that the accepted stereotype of an American environmentalist is that of a flaming commie.

                        Organized religion is for the most part a gigantic sham perpetuated through the centuries by playing on the fears of the people.

                        If you look back in the middle ages what the Catholic Church used to do to non-believers and non-followers you would be astonished at the barbarism and cruelty inflicted on people.

                        That people are still getting sucked into this bullshit is simply amazing, but most people in the world are so stupid and clueless they are easy to fool.

                            Is that an allegation?

                                How is it bullshit if there was no investigaton? lol If ABC did one on their own.. they would have made another article about it.. and rectify the situation...


                                Be a bit smarter.. they pulled it because they got cold feet.. Typical of american Media like NBC, ABC, CBS, etc... As long as they will not have bullet proof evidences.. they wont take the risk to alienate millions of good catholic americans by damaging the reputation of their new hero and leader..

                                    Have you ever made a worthwhile post? You sure have enough posts, certainly one has to contain some substance. You're probably the lamest, most useless, least funny character on this board. Just thought I'd tell you that. All of your posts are a complete waste of time to read. Prove me wrong by linking to one thing you've said that's been intelligent, helpful to anyone, or funny.

                                    Yes, the entire Priest/Child sex issue is made up by myself and the left wing media. Good thing the Vatican refused to so much as question those involved, good work.

                                    Seriously, maybe you enjoyed it when the Priest stuck his finger in your bum, but if you were an adult with children of your own, and if you had some common sense, you'd understand how fucked up it is for an adult in authority to rape children. You should understand this anyway.

                                    People who defend child rapists have got to be seriously, seriously mentally ill.

                                      Does that even make any sense in this case? Tinfoil hat? Is that funny in your mind? What are you, simple? I showed that the news organization pulled this article to cover this up, there's no other reason a news organization would disappear an article. If they had made a mistake, they would have made the corrections.

                                        The problem is, you couldn't make up what the Church has done to little boys and their mafia tactics to squelch it.

                                        I suspect for lots of us, the most depraved made up story would strike us as plausible.

                                        The opiate of the masses, indeed.

                                        That's why I take my spirituality straight, sans middleman.

                                            They've pulled the article because it was made up bullshit not based on any fact.

                                              Then why would the print it in the first place, genius?

                                              Oh and I'm not talking about him defending child rapists, I'm talking about YOU defending child rapists. Saying that these allegations are "made up" is fucking comical. Tell that to the thousands of children who have been brutally rapped by these Priests, you low-life. I hope it's your son/brother/nephew next and not mine.

                                                  The report aired on ABC News World Report in April of 2002

                                                              Are you really that simple, or are you just trying to argue for the sake of arguing? How can they know there's nothing to it if they didn't investigate it? You're not making much sense here.

                                                                      If you look back in the middle ages what the Catholic Church used to do to non-believers and non-followers you would be astonished at the barbarism and cruelty inflicted on people.

                                                                      That people are still getting sucked into this bullshit is simply amazing, but most people in the world are so stupid and clueless they are easy to fool.

You may think it's something to laugh about, if that's the case I hope you die before having kids. I realize you don't take anything seriously besides those things that benefit yourself, but some of us actually care about other people. Hard as that may be for someone like you to understand.

Some people care about things other than what they're doing tonight, how much money they're making, what bullshit products they own, and what they look like. Some people care about other people's kids being raped. I'm sorry that you're too simple minded and wrapped up in yourself to care about a serious situation. Please leave my thread, your childish insults are neither funny nor make the least bit of sense.

                                                                                                PS, posting laughing faces does not make your posts funny.
