Let's not leave the Jews out of it

Well, perhaps it's because Jewish Rabbis are more likely to abuse children than Catholic priests, here, that we should not leave the Jews out of it. Cantalamessa has never been a particularly orthodox sermonizer and his offensive and less than masculine addresses are always an opportunity for disappointment and embarrassment.

That Jews are more likely to be abusers of children and others is born out by some of these revelations:

Rabbi Joel Meyers, executive vice president of the Conservative Rabbinical Assembly, reports that 30 percent of rabbis who changed positions in 2000 did so involuntarily, and that sexual abuse was a factor in many instances.[xxiv] The Awareness Center devotes an entire website to “Clergy Abuse: Rabbis, Cantors & Other Trusted Officials.” It is a detailed and frank look at the problem of sexual abuse by rabbis.[xxv] [here]

Whispers in the Loggia thinks that only "rightists" are rising in defense of Benedict, here. Actually, he underscores an important point, that those who foment the scandal and the enemies of the Church within who are largely responsible for the conditions which created the grist of the scandal, are one in the same. As it has been mentioned before, the chiefest accusers of Pope Benedict and the Church are themselves (or people in the coalitions they belong to) eager to legitimize the sexualization of children both under the law and in the culture at large. It seems to be the next brave step from legitimization of homosexuality.

A Jewish organization reports on Rabbinical sexual abuse...

Jews have also hidden a sex abuser in Brazil, finally captured by Interpol, here.

One commenter here, complained that Jews weren't persecuted because they had:

What?! That is incredibly absurd. The Jews weren't persecuted for raping and molesting little boys. They were persecuted for being Jewish, wish is incredibly wrong.
What a sad, pathetic attempt at covering up a dirty deed; a SINFUL, MORALLY WRONG, SICKENING, dirty deed. Why don't people just own up to their mistakes anymore?

What he neglects to mention is that Jews were often accused of things like sexually abusing children, and murdering them.

Jews were also accused during the Middle Ages of sexual abuse as much as they were during the Nazi period.

That changed today when the Rev. Raniero Cantalamessa, the preacher of the papal household, delivered remarks in the traditional Good Friday prayer service in St. Peter's Basilica with Pope Benedict in attendance.

According to the New York Times account of the event, Father Cantalamessa noted that Easter and Passover were falling during the same week this year. "They (the Jews) know from experience what it means to be victims of collective violence and also because of this they are quick to recognize the recurring symptoms," he said.
