Pope’s child porn 'normal' claim sparks outrage among victims
Victims of clerical sex abuse have reacted furiously to Pope Benedict's claim yesterday that paedophilia wasn't considered an “absolute evil” as recently as the 1970s.
In his traditional Christmas address yesterday to cardinals and officials working in Rome, Pope Benedict XVI also claimed that child pornography was increasingly considered “normal” by society.
“In the 1970s, paedophilia was theorised as something fully in conformity with man and even with children,” the Pope said.
“It was maintained — even within the realm of Catholic theology — that there is no such thing as evil in itself or good in itself. There is only a ‘better than' and a ‘worse than'. Nothing is good or bad in itself.”

What's false religion :/ ?
Is the Pope then a man of "false religion" ?
false religion? Of course!
Neither Flor.
And that actually is common knowledge.
or isolated cases?
or isolated cases?
"Religious men"...what do you expect???
Kiddie fiddlers, marrying children to old men etc....you name it,you'll find it in religious men.
It is true that many things considered "normal""acceptable" and even "legal" centuries ago are today considered otherwise and similarly things that were once considered taboo is now accepted and widespread too. And he never said child porn is "right" or "good" he simply said its becoming more and more available now as compared to even a few years back.At least that's what I understood from his quotes and Allahu alam!
Insane!
so what? catholic priests are not supposed to have sexual relations whatsoever.70s or 21st century.
otherwise,
incest was legal 2000 years ago, cleopatra did marry her father than her brother, and the romans "legally" abducted and raped the sabine women in 700 BC.
but we live today, not in the past.
The article quoted someone stating "It is fundamentally disturbing to watch a brilliant man so conveniently misdiagnose a horrific scandal"...yeah, sure brilliant!!!!
