The pope who resigned and covered up child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church is now dead. He was 95 and was apparently ill for some time. Good riddance.

From the 2023 death pool thread…

There's lots of RIP threads about these days. As we get older people we remember start dying off, as is only natural.
Often I'll see a thread an think 'oh, they've died', file the fact in my head and move on.
Sometimes I'll think 'that's a shame' as whatever they did had affected me in some small way, whether they'd appeared in a sitcom I used to watch or did something interesting or whatever.
Sometimes I'll be sad about it as someone I'd actively liked died, someone whose records or books I'd bought or who'd been inspirational politically or something. Someone who inspires me to write my thoughts about them on the thread.
And then there's people like Joseph Ratzinger, who I see have died and can only think 'good'.

I met his predecessor once. The Vatican is strange. Medieval politics in the 21st Century.
Ratzinger was his supposed 'rottweiler', an inflexible theologian and totally unsuited to addressing the rampant abuse and paedophilia in the church globally. The reputation of the church was, as ever, more important. Totally detached from the lived experience of his flock on almost every social issue. Condemning Liberation Theology as part of his anticommunism, etc.
I hope St Peter is reading him a list of victims, among them survivors I'm privileged to know. Canting hypocrite.

His successor is no better in that regard. Total silence during Argentina's Dirty War. Communists are worse than Fascists in their world.
Presumably he felt that he needed the prayers given his crimes

Good riddance to the old cunt.

The good thing that came from the paedophilia scandal and the horrible way it was handled is that it undermined the Catholic Church's moral authority globally. It's not a coincidence that places like Ireland and various Latin American countries have since reformed laws wrt abortion, homosexuality, etc.
Similar things happen all the time in madrassas, and they continue to be covered up. Islam is the next organised religion that needs its sex abuse scandal to come out.

Yes join the Nazis at 14 and you become Pope. Join ISIS at 14 and become an outcast and are sent concentration camp where you watch your children die slow horrible deaths.

Hopefully currently enjoying being suspended upside down in a boiling bucket of shit in the 9th Circle.
Dante's Ninth Circle is a frozen lake because it is devoid of love and warmth.

Fucking rude. He could have waited until midnight then I could've ticked off one of the people on my celebrity death bingo list.

I hope the contrast of frozen lake and boiling shit discomfits him greatly!
