I'd like to see a Pope that deals with the Catholic problem of countless pedophiles being protected from prosecution! It's long over due, it's been going on for decades. These perverts deserve the death penalty! I don't care who they think they are, they are not above the law! Parents that know this is going on, and look the other way, are just as bad!
