Substantive evidence is contained in the two follwoing you tube video's to indict both the Vatican and Jesuits in War Crimes activity both during WW2 and the recent Balkans War.

That's kinda funny, given that religion is nothing more than misconceptions and prejudices. If we really want to stop terrorism we must stop indoctrining our children to believe fairy tales and to improve the conditions that these people live in.

it's your OPINION..."that religion is nothing more than misconceptions and prejudices."

it's MY opinion that religions have been around a whole lot longer than your dumb ass...and WILL be around a long time after your dumb ass is dead and buried...
there is OBVIOUSLY a reason religion has been part of humankind since the beginning OF humankind...
how about helping people practice religion the way it was intended, instead.

Religion ultimately means 'mans relationship to his fellow man'. You can see by the beautiful buddhists how wonderful thier belief system is in practice. ANd with christians to. Not, however from historical record and GUILT trips can Catholicism claim such selflessness. Quite the contrary. Its power and control.
The Quakers to, wonderful. Give me Buddist and Quaker neighbors ..lol.

I like the message it is a global issue and as neighboring countires it only makes sense for us all to renite to protect our homelands from unwarrented attacks. If we did than maybe so many innocent people would not have died. It is worth a shot, anyways anything is better than burning Bush's God who talks to him told him to make wars and settle the age old dispute between Muslim and Jew. And the rest is history.

And you are right about fairy tales and media. Treat people as if they are valuable and they will be just that, and a priceless to a nation.

Religion is about the spirit, the soul and the ever after. Or for some hell and damnation.
Government is about the day to day. A necessary evil as some call it.
Both use fear tactics ha ha.
But all kidding aside the Pope has got the right message unite as nations to help stop terrorism.
What have we got to win. Peace.

And one last thing do you think that God talks to the Pope? Apparently not because burning Bush specifically said, "God talked to him", and told "Him to go to war" not once but twice and to come between Israel and Iran. Maybe there is a good explanation for it? Maybe there is more that one God out there the Pope's God of Love and Peace and Bush's God of Hate and War? Oh well only God(s) know.

The pope hates those Muslim's hey.
Colleen, You wrong. The media actually exists. Your bible is a fairy story. ALL MADE UP FOR WAR.

The pope can go get f#%*ed if he thinks I'm killing Muslims for him.
1st he wants ALL the Muslims killed, then all other religions. Then those who oppose pedophilia, you watch. The pope is the head of the second biggest war mongering scam out there. The first being Jewish and the Muslims religious leaders.
Did he say sorry for the thousands of his men who rapped little children all in the name of god?

THE Pope should apologise to the parents of two Australian girls who were sexually abused by a priest when they were children, Premier John Brumby says.

Mr Brumby said it was not his job to tell the Pope what to do, but believed an apology would be appropriate if it helped Anthony and Christine Foster deal with their daughters' fate.

"There's been a lot of debate, a lot of controversy and a lot of hurt around this issue," he said.

"If an apology would reduce that hurt and relieve the suffering of families then I think it would be a very positive thing."

The Fosters arrived in Australia yesterday from Britain and were seeking an audience with the Pope to discuss the Catholic Church's handling of priest Kevin O'Donnell's rape of their daughters.

O'Donnell died in prison about 10 years ago.

Why is religion around? I think it has to do with the ignorance of man, or the fact that there will always be people who manipulate and those willing to be manipulating.

But making children believe something ridiculous while they're too young to know better doesn't really help.

I call for the Facist Pope Nazi to be held for war crimes. ANd the Vatican to pay 29 billion for Genocide in Croatia with the then Popes blessings.

The greatest terrorist organization to visit the western world was the Catholic church and the Spanish inqisition. Until they are dismantled from thier holloween costumes, and pay the victums of thier genocide, thier as culpable in terror as any modern day adhearants.

Too little too late may-be...??? It's easy to say sorry, it's another thing to back up those words with action.

Pope apologises for 'evil' of child sex abuse:
July 19, 2008 - 2:43PM

Pope Benedict XVI offered a historic full apology for child sex abuse by predatory priests Saturday, saying he was "deeply sorry" and calling for those guilty of the "evil" to be punished.

The pope strayed from a prepared speech to express shame and make his first direct and explicit apology to victims of predatory clergymen in Australia, during a mass attended by local bishops, priests and novices.

His remarks in a homily in Sydney's St Mary's Cathedral were the strongest he has used in confronting the scourge which has rocked the Catholic church globally.

"Here I would like to pause to acknowledge the shame which we have all felt as a result of the sexual abuse of minors by some clergy and religious in this country," Benedict told the gathering.

Dear pope you are right, people should fight against priests who terrorize children in Catholic Church and institutes yes it is terrorism against kids.

For nearly half a century, religious orders have been secretly working with Catholic clergy on personal difficulties ranging from alcoholism to serious sexual misconduct.

Hundreds of priests and brothers convicted or suspected of sexually abusing children have been through world.

Besides the victims of sexual abuse, all religions should apologise for the whole range of psychological abuses, and the trail of wreckage their hypocritical teachings have left behind them.

So many lives have been so terribly screwed up by the unrealistic teachings of a pack of silly men wearing ridiculous clothing.

It' sickening to watch the army of sucking and grovelling church representatives surrounding this Pope bloke.

Old Pell was so preoccupied with his moment of glory, he could hardly spare the time to care less about the victims of abuse.

What a revolting group they all are, YUK!
