The Pope seeks immunity: The end of the Vatican could be near............
by BARBIE CRAFTS
The resignation of the Pope may signal more than just health problems for the aging Pontiff The Pope will have immunity from prosecution regarding the mishandling of child sex crimes by staying within the walls of the Vatican, according to an anonymous Vatican source.Reuters reported Friday, Feb. 15, that church sources have explained that the retiring Pope Benedict would be “defenseless” if he leaves the Vatican. This official news story comes on the heels of a statement issued by the International Tribunal into Crimes Against Church and State (ITCCS) that detailed the legal situation that surrounds the Pope and the Vatican. An unnamed European country and the ITCCShave issued a campaign to hold the Pope accountable for the Vatican’s cover-up of child sex crimes. There was an international arrest warrant secured for the Pope’s arrest: On Friday, February 1, 2013, on the basis of evidence supplied by our affiliated Common Law Court of Justice (itccs.org), our Office concluded an agreement with representatives of a European nation and its courts to secure an arrest warrant against Joseph Ratzinger, aka Pope Benedict, for crimes against humanity and ordering a criminal conspiracy. The Tribunal and the unnamed European nation intend to take a lien against the property and wealth of the Catholic Church, beginning on Easter Sunday March 31. They are calling it an “Easter Reclamation Campaign," part of which involves citizens seizing the assets of the Church under international law and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. The basic purpose of the action is stated at the end of the document issued by The International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State: We call upon all citizens and governments to assist our efforts to legally and directly disestablish the Vatican, Inc. and arrest its chief officers and clergy who are complicit in crimes against humanity and the ongoing criminal conspiracy to aid and protect child torture and trafficking. The document was delivered to the Pope’s representative on Feb. 4 and the Pope resigned on Feb. 10. So, it appears that the Pope may have resigned to avoid arrest and to avoid forfeiture of property by the Vatican. Stuart Wilde.com has a story today that Pope Benedict will meet with Italian President Giorgio Napolitano on February 23 to request immunity and protection. The entire story behind the first resignation of a sitting pope in over 600 years is just beginning to develop. The threat to the institution of the Vatican and its extensive financial holdings, however, is very real. As this international tribunal with the backing of at least one nation pursues the centuries-old institution and her holiest of leaders, the situation may bring changes that were never imagined possible.

Merde ... how much slack are we gonna slide these kid-rapists?

That guy is so disgustingly revolting, I don't know how anyone could fall all over themselves over him & his lot. Wishful thinking?????? Probably.

Remember, all of this is inculcated at a very early age. Some might even have memories of their Baptism. Some are petitioning the Church to eradicate any record of that rite's having been forced upon them.
Permalink Reply by Patricia on As I said....wishful thinking. I know it's ingrained pretty deep. I got away from moronism, but then I was never a real believer anyway, no matter how much it was shoved down my throat.
And I always wondered and still do about the believers: if you compare yourself with sheep - when are you going to realize that the shepherd likes woollen clothing and mutton for dinner?

Permalink Reply by The Flying Atheist on I know I'm just dreaming here, but wouldn't it be awesome if the Navy Seals stormed the Vatican and pulled a "Bin Laden" on Ratzinger?
