Pope To Write A LETTER On Irish Sex Abuse Scandal

10:08 am EST March 17th, 2010 | Religion | 8 Comments

Once again his holiness shows us that lack of action is the church’s only inclination.

Pope Benedict XVI says he hopes his upcoming letter to Irish Catholics on the sex abuse scandal in the Irish Church helps with the process of ‘repentance, healing and renewal.’

Benedict told his weekly general audience today that he would sign the pastoral letter Friday and would send it to the faithful soon thereafter.

    Boxtops – The Letter

    Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane,
    Ain’t got time to take a fast train.
    Lonely days are gone, I’m a-goin’ home,
    ‘Cause my baby just a-wrote me a letter.

    I don’t care how much money I gotta spend,
    Got to get back to my baby again
    Lonely days are gone, I’m a-goin’ home,
    ‘Cause my baby just a-wrote me a letter.

    Well, she wrote me a letter
    Said she couldn’t live without me no mo’.
    Listen mister can’t you see I got to get back
    To my baby once a-mo’–anyway…

    Because my baby just a-wrote me a letter.

    A sternly-worded letter, I presume.

    Achtung, baby!

    Writing a letter? Terrific! Shows he cares. More than you can say of when the most prominent Catholic in America, weeks away from death, wrote him a letter that was a public servant’s apologia for a career of working for the benefit of the powerless (a perennial concern of Popes in their happy-face moments), trying to balance out that he had not really been violent enough about abortion (the absolute peak of Vatican single-issue politics), clearly hoping to clear his relation with the Holy See before he died, and His Holiness conspicuously didn’t give a shit, then or at the time of the man’s funeral.

    I’m such a bloody liberal that I have looked for good things about the Ratweiler and even found some, but at some point one has to stop wasting time and one’s steadily diminishing stock of good will.

    I presume you know that Alex Chilton, who wrote that song, died yesterday at the age of 59.
