Pope: I didn't know, and if I knew....

...I'm not responsible, and you can't make me be, since I'm a head of state, and besides, those bishops and archbishops don't work for me, even if I call the shots.... :S

Takers?

Quote the great Sarah Silverman: "Why are all these deaf guys seducing priests lately? What's sign language for, "Not cool!"?"

According to the local newspaper, the dismissal of a priest can only be done by the Vatican. Considering how many priests there must be, the likelihood of a dismissal seems essentially zero.

Had these priests been school teachers, they would have spent some long years in jail. It still astounds me to think that authorities in the church hid these cases and allowed the abuse to continue. What a horrible thing.
