Benedict XVI met with Germany’s Archbishop for 45 minutes to solve the 45+ years crimes of the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army in Germany
The maths of those Princes of the Church just don’t add up. Benedict XVI met with Archbishop Robert Zollitsch, President of the Bishops’ Conference of Germany for 45 minutes at the Vatican. Infallible Benedict XVI thinks that a 45-minute “private audience” with him is enough to "solve" the aftermath of the tremors caused by the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army in Germany. Who is he fooling this time?
Benedict XVI is the successor of Peter. And the apostle Peter wrote: “Beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day” (2 Peter 3:8)
The problem with Benedict XVI is that he acts ‘greater than St. Peter’ and that he is also “like God”. He has really eaten the apple of Adam and Eve and believes what the serpent Satan said that if they ate the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, they would be “like God”. So, with all the books of John Paul II and Benedict XVI’s writings combined, Benedict XVI possesses all Knowledge of Good and Evil. And Benedict XVI is “like God” to whom “a thousand years as one day” “.
Go figure. In Benedict XVI’s infallible timing, 45 minutes is enough for the “Holy See” to settle the 45 YEARS CRIMES by the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army in Germany see http://jp2army.blogspot.com/
Benedict XVI also acts “like God” when he waived the 5 years waiting period of deceased John Paul II which is required before his life can be studied and can qualify for sainthood. Benedict XVI declared John Paul II “Venerable” last December 2009, which was less than 4 years.

German Church apologizes, vows action on abuse
March 12, 2010
By Daniel Flynn
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The head of Germany's Catholic Church apologized to victims of child abuse by priests on Friday and met Pope Benedict who encouraged him to press ahead with tough new measures.
Archbishop Robert Zollitsch, head of the German Bishops' Conference, said his church would investigate numerous allegations of abuse in Catholic institutions, as well as counseling victims and taking measures to prevent abuse in the future.
But, amid calls within the Roman Catholic faith for a discussion of celibacy, Zollitsch strongly denied it was to blame, echoing comments made earlier in day by the pope himself.
"The German bishops are dismayed by what has happened and the acts of violence against children," Zollitsch said after a 45-minute private audience with the pope.
"A few weeks ago I asked forgiveness from the victims, something which I must repeat today in Rome."
Zollitsch said he had briefed Benedict about the situation in Germany, where more than 100 reports have emerged of abuse at Catholic institutions, including one linked to the prestigious Regensburg choir run by the pope's brother from 1964 to 1994.
"With great shock, keen interest and deep sadness, the Holy Father took note of what I had to say," Zollitsch told a news conference, adding they had not discussed Regensburg choir or Rev. Georg Ratzinger, who has admitted to slapping boys.
In a fresh development in Germany, the pope's former diocese in Bavaria said he was involved in a decision in 1980 to move a priest there who was suspected of child abuse.
The pontiff -- then Joseph Ratzinger -- jointly agreed to the priest undergoing therapy at a rectory in the diocese of Munich and Freising, where he was archbishop from 1977 to 1981.
However, rather than sending the priest for therapy as had been agreed, the diocese's then general vicar, Gerhard Gruber, assigned him to a Munich parish without restrictions. Gruber took full responsibility for the decision.
Zollitsch said he informed the pope of the German Church's plans for tackling the crisis, including the appointment of a special representative on abuse, and Benedict had encouraged the "decisive and courageous" adoption of the measures.
The archbishop said the German measures were separate from a rulebook being prepared by the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith which oversees Catholic doctrine.
With the German Church still collecting information about the total number of abuse cases, Zollitsch also said it was premature to talk about compensation for victims.
"SEXUAL VIOLENCE"
The German lay movement, We Are Church, criticized the meeting for not spelling out concrete measures to be taken.
"Instead of apologizing to the victims from far-off Rome, Archbishop Zollitsch should go soon to meet victims, listen to them and seek ways and rituals of reconciliation with them," it said in a statement.
"It's unfortunate that Pope Benedict did not offer any words of sympathy for the victims or seek reconciliation with them."
It said the Vatican should "recognize sexual violence as a worldwide structural problem of the Catholic Church that increasingly obscures the message of Jesus."
As allegations multiplied in Austria and the Netherlands, the Vatican expressed alarm about the gravity of the crisis this week. Child abuse scandals in Ireland and the United States wreaked havoc on the Church's reputation and finances, with the U.S. Church paying some $2 billion in settlements.
The latest scandal is especially delicate for German-born Benedict, Munich's bishop from 1977 to 1981. With public opinion in Germany boiling as more cases of abuse emerge, the vice president of the Bundestag lower house, Wolfgang Thierse, called for him to apologize on behalf of those responsible.
Vienna Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, a close ally of the pope, has called for the Church to discuss taboo issues such as celibacy, priestly training and changed social attitudes to sex.
But Benedict on Friday praised celibacy as "the sign of full devotion ... an expression of giving oneself to God and to others," making clear that there was no prospect of change.
