Will Savile lose his Papal Knighthood .

[modeller]

The Archbishop of Westminster has asked the Pope to strip Savile of his Papal Knighthood , which is pointless as it dies with his death but it could be removed from their rolls of Knights but what is the likelihood of the RC church of punishing anyone accused of sexual abuse.or any other abuse for that matter. ?

[Brenden]

I think yes - and rightly so if he was guilty of all the accusations that are mounting up against him.

[Prudie]

Well they should. Aren't they only reluctant to punish their own?

[Baldric]

I thought it was compulsory behavior within the Catholic Ministry.

[DTCwordfan]

so they will make him a saint?

[Psybbo]

The saint embalmed in concrete?

[DTCwordfan]

St Savile of Sement.

[seadogg]

Does it matter? The guy's reputation, which was not great in some areas where he was known for what he was, is rock bottom anyway

[Stargazer]

Probably not. Several times today I have heard him referred to as "a devout catholic"!

[boxtops]

I hope so.

[Graham-W]

"I have heard him referred to as "a devout catholic"! "
Doesn't the good book say, "Thou shall not covet thy neighbours @rse."

[modeller]

In order to become a saint it is necessary be devout and perform a miracle .
Savile qualifies on both accounts , to keep it secret for 40 years must be a miracle. Can we expect an increasing number of canonisation during this Papacy.

[DTCwordfan]

Cum again with that, modeller?

[modeller]

Priests are devout , very many have kept their perversion secret despite repeated accusations and rumours over long periods of time, Which is a miracle . So they qualify ! In addition this Pope has been churning out Sainthoods on the faintest excuse, 7 this week. I think we might expect him to him to keep it up as he has so many to choose from.

Saville has a Papal knighthood?

Well I'll be bu99ered.

[joggerjayne]

The Pope has an unmatched track record of sheltering paedophiles. His Holiness could probably make all the accusations against JS disappear.

[Duncer]

"There are some real scum which this Country has honoured. For example:
Sir Walter Raleigh"

Care to elucidate methyl? I wasn't aware that he interrupted his game of bowls to have a few minors?

Meanwhile, the Savill child sex abuse tally tops 300, although the Catholic church is still comfortably ahead.

Sorry to all believers, it is a cheap shot, but I couldn't resist.

[TheWinner]

I have just misread this title as will savile lose his paypal knighthood.

History books don't tell the truth though do they? I have found the truth to be much more interesting than the history books in school. For example ' The Virgin Queen' wasn't.
