I personally think the Pope needs to resign. It won't solve the problems they have, but its a good first step.

First step to what?

um . . . to fixing the problems the Catholic Church has?

I guess not being a Catholic, I have a hard time seeing the Catholic Church as of all that much importance. Historically, I see it as something that has caused far more harm than good. Corruption in the Catholic Church has been around forever. I guess I just don't see it as something worth beginning to fret about now. Most people see it for what it is already anyway.

So your telling me that there is no one in the Catholic Church can lead it better than the Current guy? That someone who is involve with covering up a Priest that rapped children, should remain Pope?

I don't know. Maybe there is someone who can lead it better than the current guy. I just don't care if he remains the Pope or not. Doesn't make a difference. Corruption has been, is, and will always be in the Catholic Church. It is just the nature of that sort of entity. I don't think anything can change that. And I don't think it really matters. Most people realize the facade is a facade. How could something that has caused so much earthly harm during its existence really be under the direct leadership and orders from God? Supposedly God (through the Cardinals) chose Benedict to be the Pope, why the hell is God so stupid or uncaring to appoint a man who would be fine with such a coverup? At that point, I simply just don't think it matters if he resigns or not, or if people trust him or not. In the end, what is to be trusted? And for what reason?
