Hey, Benny! Denial Is A River In Egypt

   Yup! Ex-pope Benny 16 has spoken for the first time since his retirement. And he denied covering up the sexual abuses of priests. So, what else is new? Seems the emeritus pope, as he is now known, addressed the issue in a detailed letter to a prominent atheist. At least he's talking. To an atheist, as well. It is thought to be the first time that Benedict has publicly rejected personal responsibility for covering up abuse. And, while admitting the horror of abuse, he insisted priests had no greater tendency to paedophilia than anyone else. Cough (bullshit) cough.
   He's probably been doing that behind the scenes for years. To be fair for a change, he did categorically deny covering up anything, and maybe for once I should actually believe him. But even if Ben truly didn't know about the sexual predators trolling his church, (which I doubt), someone, somewhere very high up in the hierarchy did. Maybe they purposely cut Benny out of that picture, and given the scandals that preceded his departure earlier this year, I wouldn't be a bit surprised.
   Of course, this may be problematical for new pope Frank 1, since Benny's not supposed to be speaking out now that he's retired. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what and how Frankie responds to the scandal. If at all.
  Remember boys, De-Nile is a river in Egypt. Denial is an attempt to cover something up.
   'Nuff said.
