Jeff ,   Brussels   (06.01.10)
He'd better shut up and condemn and focus all his attention to the child abusing priests and bisschops surrounding him.

3. Vatican critisizes?
Yosef ,   Ashdod, Israel   (06.01.10)
Who gave this inmoral homos the right to make statements about Israel? Hypocrites, go look into your own sins before you come to critizise ours...or are you trying to divert attention of your own dirty hands that you sticked into thousands of children? You Vatican cardinals, bishops and priest (ess) makes me want to puke!
4. I Accept This Prayer Rug In The Name Of.......
A.C.Guard ,   USA   (06.01.10)
He's just getting ready for when he is given a prayer rug, by the Islamic terrorist that are taking over Europe, and told to face Mecca and pray.
5. The Vati*an
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim,   (06.01.10)
B"H The Vati*an's occupation of Rome's Piazza S. Pietro is politically very unjust. No other religion own a square in Rome, let alone has sovreignity over anything. The P*pe should consider giving up his Swiss guards and give HIS pallaces to the poor palestinists.

Faruq   (06.01.10)

8. the catholic enterprise is useless and corrupt
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (06.01.10)
their actions speak for themselves.
9. Vatican: Israel's unjust "occupaton"
Mara ,   USA   (06.01.10)
Injustice is exemplified in this pope's failure to stop priests directly under his jurisdiction to continue their sexual abuse of children over decades despite clear evidence against them. injustice is his predecesor pius XII failing to speak out vs Nazi extermination of Jews. Pope should refrain from judging Israel for defending it's land and people and practice an "examination of his own conscience".
10. The Roman Infidel rears its ugly head again
Jake ,   USA   (06.02.10)

t he bavarian pope who defends child molestors and wants to make holy pope pius XII has no moral right to anything but to be ashamned what did he do for gilead shalit? he defends terror
12. The Vatican preoccupation with sexually molesting children
Maxwell Smart ,   Portland, USA   (06.02.10)

13. No wonder this Pope was an SS youth!
Hans   (06.02.10)
14. The Pope Down on Israel.(!!!) The Nation of Jesus ??
Roy C. Hudson ,   Pittsburg USA   (06.02.10)
I have known this for over 70 years.!!! That Org is the lasy to go, but it will go.Rev.17.KJV.1611 AD. God named that Woman. & called for her end & the end of their attacks on Israel. The time is right now for them to be proven & shown for what they are & Have been since 300AD.to now. This Pope has dug themselves out in this one. Zechariah;12;1-9 covers them well. He has been sucking up to Islam all along, Mr Ratzinger has shown his Hand to the world, Roy C Hudson. USA 6/1/2010
15. the vapid vatican
arcia levy ,   miami us   (06.02.10)
don't the pope and his buddies have enough to worry about e.g. how much all the lawsuits r gonna cost them by all the families of abused little choirboys.
16. Excuse me ,please,Ariel Ben Yochanan #5
Keren ,   IL-BR   (06.02.10)
What the he*k are you using " * " to write the word "vatican"and "pope"?!? Ma ze?!?ma iesh lecha??? nuts???
17. Toy Boys
Jonny ,   SA   (06.02.10)
Guess thats one way of deflecting criticism from their fondness for "toy boys". Mind you, their is a similarity in culture.
18. Isreal has become a burdensome stone for Pope Benedict
LJ ,   USA   (06.02.10)
Pope, wants Jerusalem for his own. So it's not surprising that he would get upset about anything good Isreal does. Not surprising cause Scriptures says -- "Zec 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. "
19. is he one to talk!? all he knows is how to hide and commit i
ralph   (06.02.10)
immoral deeds.
20. occupation
colin   (06.02.10)
Somebody must explain to this pope that Israel belonged to jews for over five thousand years and nobody is occuping any arab land. His catholic religion originates in Israel -NOT OCCUPIED LAND. He must learn some history and goegrophy before sprouting bullshit
21. THE POPE CONTRADICTS THE SCRIPTURE !!!.
Arn. ,   SWEDEN.   (06.02.10)
THE POPE IS NO CHRISTIAN BUT A FAKE. THE POPE HAS NO SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY WHATSOEVER. Arn.
22. Don't they know.....
Andrew ,   Melbourne, Australia   (06.02.10)
Muslims believe that Muhummed prophesied that the two citidals of Christendom would fall to Islam. First Constantenople then Rome. They should be thanking Israel for being on the front line against Jihad. They should spend more time reading their bibles and see that G-d gave Israel to the Jews and less time sexually abusing children.
23. Vatican: Israeli occupation unjust
Charles ,   Sydney Australia   (06.02.10)
The Vatican Hypocrite at its best .How I wished that as a child survivor in Belgium I could have lived under the kind of Occupation the Palestinians claim to live under.Why did'nt your Nazi loving Pius XII say 1/10th of what you dare utter now in support of the Murderous Arabs. For a time I was in a Catholic school during the war and witnessed priest sexually abuse children ,I was safe from those predators as I was 12 and their taste went for the 6,7 and 8 year old . So for once use your skills as the Grand Inquisitor and clean your own house .
24. Pope / Vatican - a ridiculous/tragical circus !
Jaacov Baumann   (06.02.10)
The raison d'etre of the whole vatican is to raise funds to allow them a nice live ! The vatican has no base on whatsoever - not in the bible, not anywhere else ! Its a 100% fundraising circus ! Wanna get rich ? Start a religion ! ((R.Hubbard/Scientology) I would kick these profiteurs out of Israel ASAP !
25. Israel and Jews under systematic persecution
Jorge ,   Tegucigalpa   (06.02.10)
A Turkish Islamic Palestinian Al Quaeda flotilla, of political activists and terror operatives attacks Israel to "free" Gaza, and the world, as usual attacks Israel for protecting its soldiers and civilians, now the Vatican, the old Jewish nemesis, that kept complete silence during the Holocaust, is worried about the "unjust" occupation, but never utters a whisper, when Israels enemies openly call for its destruction and the murder of its Jewish population, to be able to speak, The Vatican has to have moral authority, wich totally lacks, by its very dark history of persecution and murder(remember the inquisiton), not to mention its cover up of the abusers of children. The Vatican has always been openly antisemitic, so, its current attitude, its just keeping up with its very long and shameful antisemitic tradition.
26. POPE
Sam ,   New Zealand   (06.02.10)
Pope is human and not God. He is not holy at all as scripture says all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Whoever teaches something difference from the Scripture, he is absolutely WRONG. The POPE is WRONG in thinking Palestine is being occupied. He either knew that but ignore it or He was ignorant to know the truth of Scripture. Pope needs to have dialogue with Bible Scholars and repends for his sin to God and Jesus.
27. Mr Pope, it ashame of how little you know of the Bible!
ruth ,   Singapore   (06.02.10)
"yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I WILL PLANT THEM IN THIS LAND ASSUREDLY WITH MY WHOLE HEART AND WITH MY WHOLE SOUL" jeremiah 32. read also Zechariah 12, Romans 11, Revelation 7. Zion was given by G-D to His beloved people, He has the right to give whom He wills, to which people in the world did G-D ever give His "whole heart, and with.. whole soul"? You should apologised for what the crusaders did to take Jerusalem by force, killing much jews, and been silent when German occupied Europe, reduced 6 millions jews into ashes. because of these incidents, we christians has been so hard to reach out to our jewish friends, as they are always reminded of what your past popes done, against the will of your LORD. Shame on you! that a simple protestant like me know the Bible more than you. Instead of teaching the Scripture to your members, you concentrate on rituals and rites, idols worshiping. The Jewish brothers will one day meet their Messiah with joy in salvation, while you brought your followers to doom in their idol worship-mire. You don't represent the LORD and His people. so, Mr Pope, Keep your silent. you are embarrassing yourself.
28. Vatican
MKL ,   USA   (06.02.10)
The pope should keep his head down in shame. Does he think GOD will not judge him and the church for their numerous sins? He more than anyone should know that Israel’s enemies are coming together against her. Maybe he thinks Israelis should meekly lie down and surrender to Islam or let their heads get cut off. If he is as wise as he should be then he must know Islam will never have true peace with the Jews or Christians it is written in the Koran not to befriend us. Why is it that GOD himself will have to battle all those Islamic countries when they decide to come against Israel again as written in the bible? What has the Vatican done to help Israel? How will the pope answer when the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob confronts him?
29. #1 Jeff in Brussels, good post
Howard ,   USA   (06.02.10)
30. Unjust?
Shaul R ,   USA   (06.02.10)
That does not even begin to describe Vatican's centuries of bloody history, and prevalent pederasty among its members is the least of their sins. Clean your own house first and apologize to all the cultures you have mercilessly destroyed, all the millions of people you killed because they would not renounce their beliefs.
