Now the process of selecting Pope by a Conclave of Cardinals(115 in number this time) to select a successor to Pope Benedict XV who resigned.
The Conclave is in progress and watch Live the Conclave.
Black Smoke Vatican, Indicates Pope is yet to be chosen.
Here’s a summary of today’s events.
The Conclave to Elect The Pope.
• Some 115 cardinals have begun their conclave to choose the next pope. A puff of black smoke from the chimney above the Sistine Chapel this evening signalled that the cardinals had not yet come to a decision. They will now retire to the isolation of St Martha’s House, within the Vatican walls, and reconvene tomorrow morning at 8.30am GMT for more deliberations. They are expected to choose a new pope within the next couple of days.
• The favourite remains CardinalAngelo Scola of Milan, with Cardinal Odilo Pedro Scherer in second place. But in truth no figure goes into the conclave with the kind of strong prospects Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger had when he became Pope Benedict XVI in 2005.
Not only this, more than turning a Blind Eye to Mussolini when he was torturing and killing people ,Vatican used the Money of Mussolini to build ‘the premises of Bulgari, the upmarket jewellers in New Bond Street, had anything to do with the pope. Nor indeed the nearby headquarters of the wealthy investment bank Altium Capital, on the corner of St James’s Square and Pall Mall.’
If double speak and moral decay needs an example ,don’t look elsewhere’
The Church will do .
Vatican
Few passing London tourists would ever guess that the premises of Bulgari, the upmarket jewellers in New Bond Street, had anything to do with the pope. Nor indeed the nearby headquarters of the wealthy investment bank Altium Capital, on the corner of St James’s Square and Pall Mall.
But these office blocks in one of London’s most expensive districts are part of a surprising secret commercial property empire owned by the Vatican.
Behind a disguised offshore company structure, the church’s international portfolio has been built up over the years, using cash originally handed over by Mussolini in return for papal recognition of the Italian fascist regime in 1929.
Since then the international value of Mussolini’s nest-egg has mounted until it now exceeds £500m. In 2006, at the height of the recent property bubble, the Vatican spent £15m of those funds to buy 30 St James’s Square. Other UK properties are at 168 New Bond Street and in the city of Coventry. It also owns blocks of flats in Paris and Switzerland.
The surprising aspect for some will be the lengths to which the Vatican has gone to preserve secrecy about the Mussolini millions. The St James’s Square office block was bought by a company called British Grolux Investments Ltd, which also holds the other UK properties. Published registers at Companies House do not disclose the company’s true ownership, nor make any mention of the Vatican.”
J’ai souvent soutenu que si Jésus Christ étaient à renaître, il ne serait pas en mesure de trouver la religion qu’il a fondée !
Tel est le comportement du professé les chrétiens, catholiques, je m’empresse d’ajouter de peur que je peut provoquer d’autres sectes(dans une religion qui affirme qu’il n’existe aucune division entre eux !). Où est l’Allemagne né le Pape? Fournir des messages de paix et de réconciliation entre les religions?

Histoire :
En Allemagne l’Église catholique va priver les fidèles le droità la Sainte Communion et enterrements religieux si les gens ne paient pas un impôt d’Eglise.
UN nouvellement appliquée épiscopale allemande décret dit que quiconque un défaut de paiement de l’impôt – une hausse de 8 % de leur impôt sur le revenu – ne sera plus considéré comme un catholique. Tous les habitants de l’Allemagne doit payer cette taxe si elles veulent de culte en soit catholique ou protestante, églises ou synagogues juives. La dernière année, des millions de fichiers sur des décennies ont été remis aux enquêteurs par l’ensemble des 27 diocèses de la hiérarchie ecclésiastique catholique en Allemagne dans une soumission pour aller au coeur des abus sexuels d’enfants par des prêtres. Il a été vu comme une tentative d’endiguer le flux des élèves qui a clairement indiqué le scandale, et l’incapacité ou le refus de traiter avec elle, était la raison de leur départ. En 2010, 181 000 personnes, soit une augmentation de 50 % par rapport à l’année précédente. Dernière année 126 000 gauche.
Au cours des vingt dernières années, le nombre de membres de l’Allemagne l’Eglise catholique a diminué, passant de 28,3 millions à 24,6 millions de dollars ou 30,2 pour cent de la population du pays. L’Église catholique a vu des chiffres au cours de ces dernières années, en particulier en Allemagne de nombreux paroissiens ont dit qu’ils étaient dégoûtés que récidive clergé étaient souvent simplement déplacé dans le nouveau jons où ils étaient libres de commettre plus de crimes. Maintenant vient la nouvelle ligne dure de l’eglise, qui est aussi en partie en réponse à un cas de test qui a été griding par les tribunaux et en raison d’une décision d’un tribunal de Leipzig le vendredi.
” A monthly catholic community magazine carrying an image of Jesus Christholding a beer can in one hand and a cigarette in the other in its February issue caused outrage amongst subscribers of the journal. The image was a tweaked version of the Christ and the sacred heart.
Three days ago, one of the subscribers in Vatva area;s Vatican Park society, Manoj Mackwan, felt outraged after seeing the picture on page 30 of the magazine and registered a police complaint with the Anand town police. A case under section 295 and 153(3) of the IPC was registered by the police and is being investigated by Anand town police inspector PK Deora.
When asked about the FIR, Deora told TOI, “A case of hurting religious sentiments has been registered. Last evening, I received a memorandum by the Christian community members in Anand apologizing on behalf of the publication. The image was small in size and black and white in nature and was downloaded from the internet. It was a tweaked version of the most common image that we see of the Christ. The publishers had claimed that they failed to notice the beer can and the cigarette in Christ’s hand as it was not clearly visible in black and white.”
/ Why a law should be enacted to save the Pope?
His behavior definitely amounts to abetting criminal conduct.In addition he has brought disrepute to Christianity as well.
Even Theists, especially Catholics also should file a case against him for hurting Religious sentiments
Where are the people who wanted DaVinci Code banned because it hinted that Christ was married?
This is a much more serious issue.
The UK government is said to have set in motion a law change that will prevent the Pope from being arrested when he visits the country in September.
Officials in Whitehall – the UK government’s administrative offices – are said to be worried over plans by the atheist authors Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens to have Pope Benedict arrested for crimes against humanity, because of his alleged cover-up of priestly assaults on children.
“Mr Dawkins, the atheist campaigner, and Mr Hitchens, an atheist author, asked human rights lawyers in April to put together a case for charging the Pope over his alleged cover-up of sexual abuse of children in the Catholic church,” reports Pink News today.
Its report adds: “Justice Secretary Ken Clarke proposed changes to the law today which would require the consent of the Director of Public Prosecutions to any arrest warrant issued under universal jurisdiction.” http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/295022
