Things are not looking too good for Benedict XVI.  These are just a few of the articles that are multiplying like crazy.

From http://smokingmirrors.blogspot.com/2010/03/convenient-media-rope-dope-with-pope.html

"The purpose of showcasing The Pope is to create a target for public outrage. The purpose of this Tea Party scam is to create a channel for outrage and there will be other targets and other channels because this is just the prelude to something else and they have to stay at it or else you might even realize that they are the one’s doing it all.

"They have been dumbing down the population for some time to militate against any kind of mass catching on and it’s worked. Most people are now watching a 3 Card Monte Game all day long and they just can’t figure out why they never can pick the queen. The queen isn’t there dummy, no matter which card you pick. The shills in the game; the people who show up and appear to be winning- so that you will be sucked in to playing- and the people cheering and encouraging from the sidelines are all part of the scam. Now you can just transpose this analogy into real life and see who we are talking about in present terms.

"STOP looking at what is in front of you as if that’s what’s happening. That is not what’s happening. What is happening is going on behind what you are looking at and something is going on behind that too.

"As it stands now, there is no way for humanity to climb out of this torture porn without eliminating what has the upper hand over all that they experience. Therefore, this is going to happen in some way and with some degree of severity. The good news is that evil will destroy itself but... you don’t want to be standing too close when that happens. A lot of people are going to be because they are just too confused and invested to be able to step back.

"I’ve no desire to defend this pope. I could see the cut of his gown from the beginning and a number of us knew about his previous duties. It could well be what he learned in that office that led to his being voted pope. I suspect they had no choice. Whatever you think you know about this affair, it is much bigger than that. Furthermore, no matter what is going on in the various churches, since they threw everything meaningful out of the window, while keeping the cash register, the Zio-Nazis are exponentially worse..."

I noticed that myself -- the media is out to get Benedict XVI, it seems.

2 good posts -- I like the excerpt from Smoking Mirrors. I normally don't read that blog, because it's quite repetitive. But the selection you posted is quite apropos.

I mused in another thread about what this means for Catholics everywhere.

After all, most people are woefully ignorant, and don't make distinctions between Catholic and traditionalist -- or Catholic and sedevacantist, for that matter.

That kind of person already knows about the myriad child molesting priests and bishops who the "Pope" transfers to some other diocese.  The scandal has already reached the "Pope" long ago. 

So if you're worrying this will make the "Church" look bad, don't -- in the eyes of the neo-pagans who are, after all, potential converts, it could not look any worse.  We're at the point where when people see a priest they think "child molester" the same way when you see a pig you think "rolls in mud." 

The onus is now on them ( Joe Newspaper-Reader ) to realize the obvious fact that this is not about "Catholicism" somehow inherently leading to homosexual pedophilia, but that there is a conspiracy.  You have to reframe mentally to be able to see it.  It's almost a miracle if you do.  But for those who really take a hard look at our situation, who have good will, the puzzle is not difficult to solve.

Actually I don't know if JPII or Ratzinger personally transferred or protected a child-molesting bishop. The chain of command is rather that the bishops protect the child-molesting priests, and these bishops are in turn protected by the "Pope." One of them being "Archbishop" William Levada, who kept priests in circulation despite accusations of molestation, leading to the bankruptcy of the Portland archdiocese, but who was promoted to no less than the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Rome!

This was one of Ratzinger's first actions as "Pope." However they can tarnish him for what he did in Germany, it's nothing in comparison. These people must know their time is almost up because they really aren't very subtle.

You should get yourself a copy of Randy Engel's Rite of Sodomy.  You'll find out all that JPII was aware of and did...nothing!

Here is a thoroughly nauseating article about St. John's Seminary where Levada taught in the 70's.  Not that this proves anything about Levada specifically, but if you can overlook the lurid details, what is most revealing is that almost everyone agrees that there was no emphasis from the teaching staff on celibacy. 

http://www.snapnetwork.org/news/calif/la_trail_of_abuse_seminary.htm

Tod Brown, Roger Mahony and Levada are all connected with St. John's, not to mention Levada's replacement in San Francisco, George Niederauer, who doesn't think those with gay leanings should be kept out of seminaries, after all this... 

I don't like to talk about the homosexual plague because there is so much danger of slander, and it's better to concentrate on the heresies and errors.  But so far I am unable to be completely silent about it.  It's just too obscene and really shows the completely depraved nature of the men we're dealing with.  It's no wonder they uglify all the churches.  It says in "The Plot Against the Church" by Maurice Pinay that the Judaizers have always been iconoclasts; they can't stand pictures of Mary and the saints and Jesus.  And the gays are natural-born Judaizers, because immorality very often leads to ecumenism and heresy.  The reason is not hard to discern -- sinners have always emphasized God's mercy rather than His justice, to let themselves off the hook. 

These gays are more interested in satisfying their physical desires than in religion, but religion provides an easy environment for them.  They have cushy jobs, nice lives, and access to lots of sex.  So they go along with the program.  The one snag is having to look at the Judge hanging on a Cross reminding them of what awaits them in hell if they don't change.  This easily explains why there are all these creepy, distorted, mangled crucifixes and buildings and statuary.  These people actually feel more comfortable in that environment, and you can see why.  It's another way to tune out their consciences.  The result is that they have turned their environment into something that resembles hell already.
