14. Agreeed. Pope Benny is still holding a grudge

against the students who stood up to him. His entire papacy consists of getting even with anyone to his left, even the moderate majority, and if it means fundamenalists who have molested and/or abetted sexual abusers in power, so be it.

Somebody needs to remind him that real Christians don't hold grudges or seek revenge or use God's name to cover up crimes, especially horrific crimes against children. I thought Christians, especially Catholics, were supposed to forgive those who offended them.
