welcome back to the program
this is the monday line
by by danny
could the california cover-up bring real change to the catholic church
the pope benedict the sixteen th is gone and tendons many inside and outside the
church is saying don't let the door to chew me out
this fantasy
controversial from his initial selections were placed on paul the
second was hit with damning revelations of a child *** abuse cover up
that reach all the way out to los angeles-based cardinal mahoney
it was alleged to numerous court documents that mahoney deliberately
sought to evade the law by sending sex offending priests to treatment
facilities
in states outside of california
we specifically did not require health professionals to report describes the
forties
so the question remains
if the child sex abuse scandal reaches all the way to a carpool
one of a hundred and seventeen or so global leaders of the church included
couldn't that trail also reach pope benedict
well it's not that far stretch since as cardinal rap singer of germany
prevented because the churches leading authority and when the controversy
adan reports of cardinal mahoney of los angeles paying off six hundred and sixty
eight million dollars of sex abuse
well trials such as child sex abuse settlements
with monies from trips cemetery funds
now this is a practice that would be illegal for
alba religious cemeteries
want to see how truly despicable crime and cover up the soul mates
mary dispenses a woman who received the sex abuse on the back in two thousand
six and she said it best
i think it's very deceptive
and in a way they took it from people who had no voice
they can't react
they can't response
now than it did not help himself while leaving the church
a hard right conservative he lashed out at homosexuality
and the use of any or birth control measures including condoms and pills
but no stain is is the as his two decades as pope john paul the second's
point-man
on growing allegations of sex abuse of young boys over the last four decades
what started as whispers
has led to criminal arrests prosecutions
and the jailing of a dozen or so prominent *** priests archbishops
around the globe
with more to come
and yet aside from a few papal pronouncements saying that this behavior
would not be tolerated
rome as they do during the vatican bank crisis is the nineteen eighties
has been largely silent on the issue
this officials well-timed cosmetic fixes
institutional silence
and quiet payoffs this is really resolution
and the pope responsible for the investigation could not stand accused of
covering it
so when the war in the plot reach the boiling point will come forward
as if the even failed
or was pushed to protect himself from the church from prosecution
none of this is a terribly far stretch of the imagination
and now by remaining secluded in close to the rest of his life
pope benedict prevents his own prosecution for crimes related to the
church's sex abuse scandal
but the vatican has even a state post thanks to mister meanie granting it in
exchange for them not raising the atrocities of italians in germans during
world war two
so i was also used standard operating procedure for this church and yet he's
still ferry
very role
so benedikt believes the papacy on the twenty eighth of february
you reside in seclusion and castle in both of the pope's traditional summer
residence until a special cloistered monastery can be constructed inside the
vatican
and there he will resign unseen by the public until his eventual death
and somehow benediction not be allowed to just ride off into the sunset this
way
even if he does remain
essentially a prisoner inside vatican city
does not seem right he was indeed responsible for enabling this cover up
mcconnell's only to be much to elect a new concept
and even the global aus fixing gambling website paddy power has set boxing or
election style betting lines from their website says
with pope benedict taking early retirement at eighty five the world is
watching to see who will be the next month
and that is all over it
the world's favorable maker has a direct line to the vatican through the rome
office and is priced at all likely runners and writers for the catholic
church is top job
now the last two men did get the keys to the book will be over polish interns pan
african or south american folk
has been hotly tipped in his two-to-one and ten to three
in-country admits hoping
ganas cardinal peter trucks and has attracted the early money three-to-one
as as my jury is cardinal francis organs after nine to two while argentina's
cardinality about a somber is sixty-one and cardinal oscar redress a lot of the
odd couple bonuses seven-to-one
could we see the vatican recognize the growth of catholicism on both confidence
weight so the absence of official pronouncements
the vatican is losing the global bianco
and the whispers
the vatican is a plotting slow-moving organization
so secretive incentives ways it even though of pope has not resigned since
fourteen
fifteen
we're to believe they have a region disciplined policy already in place for
handling this
and the secrecy is not helping us the rest of the world visibly connects the
dots and asks why
it certainly does not help that the entire child sex abuse scandal was
handled by our branch inside the catholic church better known
for hundreds of years i was
wait for it
the inquisition
and we all know how will that work for them in the thirteenth century
so what was the tipping point the benedict why would he decided suddenly
become the first open six centuries to resign
well that is sources conveniently lets that for the federal reserve tell
remembering his head
during a recent trip to mexico city
was contest
busy suffering from other neurological diseases
mid eighty five e certainly lou
visibly less vibrant healthy that he was when you sue the chips and peas in less
than a decade ago
but no promises gregory the twelve and fourteen fifteen is ever resigned
he claims of thirty began his final john paul the second one of the world to see
the pope slight decline so they could understand that the death was a part of
life
so why would he quit now
this ten days before
the biggest celebration
of the church's of the church
that being used
now is a victim myself of abuse by member of the clergy of another
denomination in the nineteen seventies
on what answers for the thousands of young boys and girls now in the thirties
forties and fifties
trying to come to grips with *** past
for all of this is
it's time to open the doors of the inquisition and connect all of the dots
rather than let this be just another hidden scandal
in in otherwise secretive
and scandal-ridden church
coming up next the reverend doctor britton intial joins us to discuss this
in more detail
you're watching world he would get a scam
