A history of crime
Hooah,
You do realize that this is nothing "new" for the Catholic church right? Throughout it's history it's committed atrocicities against all of humanity. It burned reformers at the stake for simply giving the Bible to the common people. It made the commoners pay what little money they had to the "church" for the forgiveness of sins. This latest scandal is par for the course for the "Holy" Church.

This is probably one area that I actually agree with Dawkins, for the most part....now hooah, what I'm about to say next in no way means I defend his "holiness" and I use that term loosely. I'm not catholic and have always been astounded at what this church is allowed to get away with, throughout history.....BUT, you (the prosecutor I should say) still has to build a case against the Pope himself in this thing. If that can be done, so be it, I'm all for it....if it can't (and it will be difficult given the nature of the case) what's the point in arresting him?
