Do not turn this thread into a religious argument. I'm interested to know what the Filipina's think about the abuse by the Catholic Church in the Philippines, and has the Church/Pope done enough?

The Pope has taken a pounding back in Germany for doing basically nothing, as all the Catholic Church say is that they are answerable only to God.

On that note ... this week's front page cover of Private Eye is a classic.

When I was last in the Philippines the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Manila was Cardinal Jaime Sin. He played a role in the "People Power" revolution which toppled President Marcos. He was made Cardinal by Pope Paul VI. There were many jokes around his name : "The greatest sin of all" and (allegedly) his own pun about his official residence "Welcome to the House of Sin" :)
