"Why did pedophilia reach such proportions?" Benedict wrote, according to the Catholic News Agency, which published the full text in English. "Ultimately, the reason is the absence of God."

good. he is telling the truth. and the jesuits dont like it

On Twitter, David Gibson, the director of Fordham University's Center on Religion and Culture, said it was a "major problem" that Benedict was "blaming the abuse crisis on liberal mores and gays and secularization."

also, according to some, according to the canon law, he is still the pope. and even when he dies bergoglio wont be a pope.

I was thinking of putting it in Jesuits but some people wouldn't get the connection, but if they stay here long they will get it. The Fordham connection.
