Apparently the cardinal who was sacked for not dealing with the abuse
problem is in attendance at the popes funeral... makes you wonder
doesn't it. The guy was very tolerant of pedophiles in the church and
would actually support them and put them into other parishes in America
where they could carry on with their abuse... if they allow this guy to
help at the funeral and to have a say in who the next pope is to be,
then I think it will damage the church even further.
