Papal failings

"Why would the Catholic Church wish to defend itself by referring to other enormities in which it was also implicated?"

It took three days for Pope Benedict XVI's personal preacher to realize his folly. On Good Friday, Father Raniero Cantalamessa said he was thinking about the Jews in this season of Pessah and Easter, because "they know from experience what it means to be victims of collective violence and also because of this they are quick to recognize the recurring symptoms."

Callously, astoundingly, the veteran preacher, who has held his position since Pope John Paul II's era, was not sympathizing with the real victims of the sex scandal rocking the Church. Not the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of children who have allegedly been molested by a sexually rapacious clergy over the decades. These were not the "victims of collective violence" Cantalamessa had in mind. Nor was his talk of "recurring symptoms" an allusion to the sex scandals that have surfaced recurrently in the Catholic Church. No, Cantalamessa was reserving his compassion for his fellow clergymen and his boss, who are being rightly censured for failing to stop the abuse and punish the sex offenders.
