(np) New Pope?

Not that the Times had contributed anything to the buildup of Joshu Sasaki:

Several Mahayana teachers have been important to me over the years,  but
there’s one lama I would never trust alone in a room with eclairs or
cannoli.

Still, Benedict has one last chance to right some of the wrongs of the
recent past by forcing out Cardinal Angelo Sodano
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/s/angelo_sodano/
index.html?inline=nyt-per> , the dean of the College of Cardinals and the
man who, more than any other, embodies the misuse of power that has
corrupted the church hierarchy.

 

[...]

 

But Cardinal Sodano ranks with the Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony as an
egregious practitioner of the cover up. As John Paul II’s secretary of
state, he pressured Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the future Pope Benedict, in
two notorious cases.

In 1995, Cardinal Hans Hermann Groër resigned as archbishop of Vienna,
trailed by accusations, soon proven, that he had abused young men. Cardinal
Ratzinger wanted the pope to speak out; Cardinal Sodano overruled him.

Cardinal Sodano also pressured Cardinal Ratzinger to abort a case filed in
1998 by several men accusing the Rev. Marcial Maciel Degollado, founder of
the Legionaries of Christ, of abusing them as seminarians. Cardinal Sodano
was a longtime beneficiary of money and favors from Father Maciel. Priests
who left the order told me he received at least $15,000 in cash.

 

 

He was personally involved in protecting pedophiles.  I hope he rots.
