Pope’s pedophilia advisor arrested

I was going to write that this story was unbelievable, but no, it’s believable. The Pope’s adviser on reforms related to pedophile priests, Cardinal Riccardo Seppia, has been arrested on pedophilia and drug related charges.

Father Riccardo Seppia, a 51-year-old parish priest in the village of Sastri Ponente, near Genoa, was arrested last Friday, May 13, on pedophilia and drug charges. Investigators say that in tapped mobile-phone conversations, Seppia asked a Moroccan drug dealer to arrange sexual encounters with young and vulnerable boys. "I do not want 16-year-old boys but younger. Fourteen-year-olds are O.K. Look for needy boys who have family issues," he allegedly said. Genoa Archbishop Angelo Bagnasco, who is the head of the Italian Bishops Conference, had been working with Benedict to establish a tough new worldwide policy, released this week, on how bishops should handle accusations of priestly sex abuse.

Yes, yes, it's possible the allegations are false. Either way, it's delicious that the Church's immunity to prosecution is evaporating.
This will continue to happen as long as the church continues to only allow men who have renounced sex with a woman, or a wife to clergy. Catholics seem to think a man who gives up women ( Celibate ) is a pillar of the faith. The problem is as it turns out for many of these priest giving up women is not a problem.

Until we start executing these Priests in public, the problem will not end!

Maybe this 'priest'/pedophile was just trying to get first hand OR first ''Dick'' experience...... so he could of course, advise the Poop in the big Castle how to keep hiding the shit going on within the very walls of the Cesspool!!!! Isn't it time yet to start burning this church down........... for the safety of the children, of course............... 'FORK' The Catholickass church.... the church without morals.... that tries so unsuccessfully to set the morals for the world, while f*%King in the ass all those worshipers bent over in supplication. Stand up, you Sheeple, ..... tell your church to go F&$K itself!!!! It is not your friend.... it is your worst enemy!

Matthew 18:6

Causing to Stumble

6 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
