If you were 1/100th the political scholar you believe yourself to be you would this already.

How did those communes work out blue?

He also did this......

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Three victims of the sexual abuse scandal that rocked the Roman Catholic Church described an emotional, frank and ultimately hope-filled meeting with Pope Benedict XVI on Thursday.

They were part of a small group of people abused by clergy who were asked to share their stories with the pope in a Washington chapel.

"They prayed with the Holy Father, who afterwards listened to their personal accounts and offered them words of encouragement and hope," said the Rev. Federico Lombardi, a papal spokesman.

The exchanges were frank and unscripted, according to some of the victims.

"I told him that he has a cancer growing in his ministry and needs to do something about it," Bernie McDaid said in an exclusive interview with CNN.

I'd say that the Church has acknowleged the problem and the victims.

The church leaders who tried to sweep this problem under the rug are despicable characters, but I give the Pope credit for facing up to it.

First of all I'm not your comrade Koba. Second there will be no "needs" in heaven.

I also like the fact that the Pope took the time and made an effort to speak with some of the victims face to face. I still believe he needs to hand down severe punishment for what happened but this is a start.
