The popes and cardinals who had "no idea" about things

This man gets it in one.

But you will recall what 'they' did to him,

Reading something like this on the Lebanon Syrian border, all it can do is make one angry. And one thinks too of Cardinal William Levada.

"Dying of cancer, Bishop Emeritus Geoffrey Robinson appeared Aug. 24 before the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse to testify to the prevalence of child sexual abuse in the church.

"He painted a sad picture of a brave and lonely Sisyphus with his band of bishops in tow, pushing a boulder with a reasoned response to the crisis up the Vatican Hill, only to have it pushed back by popes and cardinals who had no idea about the issue and a blindness about the incapacity of canon law to deal with it."
