A Vatican cardinal defended the Pope on Easter Sunday by stating that people should not pay attention to the "petty gossip of the moment"?

Allegations of sexual abuse and rape, and the church's cover up of them-is "petty gossip"?

When I first heard that, I was floored.
I'm still trying to get over the "Hitler Youth thing."
