Secular anger as Pope is invited to address European Parliament
March 4, 2011 – National Secular Society
News that the President of the European Parliament, Jercy Buzek (Christian Democrat) has invited the Pope to address the parliament has been greeted with dismay and anger by secularists in Britain and Europe. Photo

“The plenary session in this assembly discusses and decides policies for all 500 million European citizens, regardless of their belief, faith or religion. It is wholly inappropriate for plenary meetings to be used as a podium for religious messages…
Keith Porteous Wood, Executive Director of the National Secular Society, added: “If the Pope is invited to speak at the European Parliament it will represent a slap in the face for the tens of thousands of victims of child abuse committed by Catholic priests and covered up by the Vatican hierarchy.

February 3, 2011 – The Huffington Post
Andrew Cuomo is a busy man.
The governor's schedule is so packed he couldn't squeeze in time to meet with Archbishop Timothy Dolan when he travels to Albany with other bishops for their annual conference next week. Photo
The governor's decision puts him in the same league with disgraced-ex Gov. Eliot Spitzer, who hastily cancelled his 2008 meeting with the Catholic Conference because it took place on the same day his prostitution scandal erupted…
…Cuomo has come out in support of gay marriage and has proposed funding cuts to New York's Catholic schools...

If you shut up truth and bury it under the ground, it will but grow, and gather to itself such explosive power that the day it bursts through it will blow up everything in its way. Emile Zola

You must make the injustice visible – be prepared to die like a soldier to do so.

An investigation into cases of sexual abuse in the German Archdiocese of Munich and Freising, where Pope Benedikt XVI was once archbishop, has revealed a "systematic system of cover-up" and a lot of missing paperwork.

“Someday, maybe, there will exist a well-informed, well considered and yet fervent public conviction that the most deadly of all possible sins is the mutilation of a child’s spirit.” Erik Erikson
…whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. Matthew 18:6
Important note: No disrespect meant to Pope Benedict XVI or the hierarchy, the one and only concern is the safety and well-being of children.
