It disgusts me to see the British Monarchy and the Archbishop of Canterbury falling over themselves in such an ungainly rush to invite and welcome such a corrupt man as Mr. Ratzinger to Britain; it appalls me to see the British Government invoking legislation to protect his freedom and warning human rights organisations that he is off limits; and it depresses me to see so many decent people in Britain are living under his spell, when any other person would be behind bars if they had done what he has done.
In a speech in London, Richard Dawkins listed Mr. Ratzinger as an enemy of children; an enemy of gays; an enemy of women; an enemy of the poorest people on the planet; an enemy of the anglican church; an enemy of truth; an enemy of science; an enemy of education; and an enemy of humanity.
He said that blaming atheists and secularists for what Adolph Hitler did last century was a tactic to divert attention away from priests buggering boys. Hitler was baptised as a Catholic and his speeches and books indicate that he remained a Catholic. The Catholic Church claims five million members in Britain but it would be more truthful to say that five million of the population had been baptised into the Catholic Church. Dawkins said that if the Catholic Church wants to claim all five million as members of their church, then they have to claim Hitler as a Catholic as well.
Every time he visits a country, Mr. Ratzinger apologises for the papist rapists but the only decent action he can take is to hand all of his files over to the police and assist with the prosecution of every priest involved in molesting children and to cooporate with investigations of bishops, cardinals and popes who have been involved in the cover up.
