Quote:
Archbishop Tomasi, who is the Vatican's envoy to the UN, said that it was important to note that priests were "not functionaries of the Vatican but citizens of their countries and fall under the jurisdiction of their own countries".


Until the Vatican moves them to another country, eh fcukbag? :x

Pope Benedict XVI defrocked nearly 400 priests for child abuse

You'd think they'd have the wit to announce they'd actually did some good for once...

400 of the feckers, and I'll bet there's loads more he didn't banish.

Tip of the iceberg.

How do gay people 'imperil' the Pope's security? Just because they're gay doesn't mean they want to rape the pope (or people in general).

Quoting an article about gays when replying to a story about paedophilia is really unhelpful.

I think the commandant was worried about external blackmail or his guards getting involved in the conspiracies that crop up in the Vatican.

Given what the swiss guards traditionally have to wear on duty...

I think they're pretty much immune to public ridicule and therefore blackmail beyond that.

I was not thinking of any linkage between the stories, but more of a general crisis in the Vatican.
