It may have been a 'surprise' that so many people found out about it. The Panzerpope is being disingenuous.

I'm beginning to think this pope is one of the worst in history.

I don't know... he faces some pretty stiff competition...even with the "bonus" of begining his career in the Hitler youth:

Sheesh Chango, I see what you mean. Some of those popes make the devil look like a saint.

The pope never heard about this gay sex scandal in the vatican, I suppose.

Shoot, I don't care if the priests and cardinals are having gay sex, as long as it's not with kids.

I was rather pleased to see Alexander borgia was not top of the list. I suspect that, while he was a very worldly type of pope, a lot of the excesses ascribed to him were from the sexually fertile imagination of the next pope Leo X who was intent on discrediting his predecessor.

More than 20 years ago I warned my wife of this stuff, and how they were moving priests around to different areas when they became "embarrassing". She told me that it was ridiculous, that priests would never do that sort of thing. She has since renounced her Catholicism. She still believes some impossible stuff, but the Xtian religion is no longer one of those things.
