Dear Sanctimonious Pope Benedikt XVI,
After all this trouble we have here with one of your higher ground personnel, the former bishop of Antigonish, Raymond Lahey, I would say it’s time for a short trip to Nova Scotia to tell us how sorry you are for all this trouble he caused here.
But I would like to ask you one important question for me. When did the Roman Catholic Church start going in the wrong direction?
I started Google on my MacBook to find out more about the history of your nearly two millennia old guys club. And I have to tell you I am really shocked about the things I found out about it.
In the beginnings of your so called church, it was really a church back then, the people died for there beliefs. It was a revolutionary underground organization with true believers. But as soon as the church was public and recognized as a religion, it started to get greedy and messy.
The first huge sign of the greed taking over the church was the time of the crusades. Your predecessor, Pope Urban II, could get only enough willing peers to fight for him after he told them they would get lots of gold and land. Where was there the honest idea to free the holy land? The only interest of the avaricious knights was the wealth they could get out of it, and the guarantee of a place in heaven. Also they normally had to go to hell because of the way they lived their lives. There was also one of the first signs of the never ending trouble with children. Why had so many innocent children to die from the bloody hands of the crusaders?

Then a few hundreds of years later your church started to show its real, sadistic and satanic face. You guys started to torture people, to convert them to the only true religion, so you said and you say it till today. You called this evil practices inquisition. I would call it satanic rituals. Because at the end of the day, the only thing you wanted from the people you tortured was the money and the land they owned. Maybe some of the common inquisitors believed it was only for the best interest of the people they tortured to death, but your elite saw only the money they would get out of all these innocent people.

The really greedy period of your church started with the selling of indulgences. That must have been a real cash cow for you guys. You told your believers that they can do any kind of bad things, like killing your rival, anything they have to do is buying one of your papers and the sin they did would be assigned. You even could buy a whole bunch of them in advance. This shows only one time more how creative you are when it comes to making money.

What’s behind the story about Pope Pius VI and his daughter? Doesn’t history tell us that they were a couple? That’s all I want to say about this. I am feeling sick enough already.
In my opinion, it started back around 306 AD. At this time celibacy became law in your church at the Synod of Elvira and got even stronger when Pope Benedikt VIII (Isn’t it funny that he has your name?) and the emperor Heinrich II made it law that a priest isn’t allowed to be married anymore; this had happened at the Synod of Pavia in 1022 AD. Since then, it was a secure place for guys interested in young children because the Roman Catholic Church is trying to keep everything under a blanket of silence. But that isn’t working well every time. From time to time a new story about a priest having sex with a minor finds its way into the news. I don’t know, but I am not surprised that 99.99% of the time it is a catholic priest who has destroyed a lot of young people’s lives.
Before you open your mouth the next time to tell your believers how they have to live their lives close it right away and shut up and start cleaning up your own house first. Maybe there will be no one left to keep the business running, but who cares as long as our children are safe.
I have to stop now, because after all this reading about your unholy association I’m feeling very sick.
Sincerely
Tiny Voice from Nova Scotia
