Pope condemns pornography to German ambassador as German bishops embroiled in porn controversy

VATICAN CITY, November 9, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In remarks that the Vatican Insider newspaper called “anything but coincidental,” Pope Benedict XVI condemned the abuse of women through pornography in remarks welcoming the new German ambassador to the Holy See, Reinhard Schweppe, on November 7th.

“The time has come,” the Holy Father said, “to take an energetic stance against prostitution and the widespread availability of erotic and pornographic material, also on the Internet.”

The statement to the German ambassador was made even as the German bishops are embroiled in a controversy over the fact that WELTBILD, a publishing company wholly owned by the bishops, was found to be peddling 2,500 pornographic book titles.

The scandal has been receiving increasing international attention. A lengthy article in the UK Independent reported that “Germany’s biggest Catholic-owned publishing house has been rocked by disclosures that it has been selling thousands of pornographic novels with titles such as Sluts Boarding School and Lawyer’s Whore with the full assent of the country’s leading bishops.” Fox News in the United States also reported the story.

Bishops not worthy of the name will be like vomit from the mouth of Our Lord. These agents of satan live lives of lies.
They hide behind their titles and dress but are fakes. If they had faith they would resign in shame to a monastery, but do not hold your breath as I doubt they have faith at all. Gaggle of liars resign!!
