there seems to be too many priests coming forward for it to be a slur

I wouldn't go as far as saying that. ^ But it can't be a wise thing to put yourself in the hands of potential enemies.

Is there a possibility the allegations are unfounded ?

as in - "these accusations are gross libel and I am resigning anyway"

The Catholic Church and allegations of sexual impropriety yet again, it seems.

Interesting timing, I thought. No british cardinal will be on the papal selection panel.

And I am pretty sure I read something recently alleging a link between a shortly to be published report on gay clergy in the Vatican itself.

doh - that last paragraph of mine was about a link between the Popes resignation and a shock report on gay clergy within the Vatican itself.....

Just another 'Media Witch-Hunt' (has outlined below) perhaps?

He's been accused of 'inappropriate behaviour' - presumably wandering around in a dress and silly hat talking about mythical beings and the like.

It does now appear to be part of the Ritual of the Catholic church!

The dress and silly hat? - yes, absolutely.

One of the cornerstones of Cathokicism is an ability to simply not see what doesn't suit.

My mother-in-law was born in County Wicklnow in Ireland - one of seven, in a tiny cottage two miles from the village. There lived the priest, alone in a four-bedroomed house - could he not have had the courage of his convictions and offered shelter to this one - or indeed any other family - living in abject poverty?

The premise of this faith makes me sick on a virtually daily basis - hypocracy and sceheming are its methods, chauvenism and bullying are its ways, misery and fear are its oyxgen. A curse on it for eternity.
