Vatican begins child-porn scandal inquiry

[dArKeR]

A special Vatican inspector began his inquiry on Wednesday into the discovery of a vast cache of child pornography at a seminary where candidates for the priesthood photographed themselves kissing and fondling each other.

Austrian Bishop Klaus Kueng was appointed on Tuesday as Pope John Paul II's "apostolic visitor" to deal with a scandal that has deeply embarrassed the Roman Catholic Church. Kueng said he had already spoken with Kurt Krenn, the embattled churchman in charge of the seminary.

Kueng told reporters he plans to interview other officials with the St Poelten diocese, about 80km west of Vienna, where the seminary is located. He will report his findings directly to the pope.

The immoral Pope has known for 40 years children have and still are prostitutes in the strong catholic countries of S. America and the Philippines and most other countries which the catholics have missionaries. Good luck in Hell catholic leadership! Good luck in Hell media who have traveled to these countries and have seen it firsthand, as I have, but they didn't report on it. Maybe because they were involved as customers? Same as the missionaries?

6. it's amazing to me that the church has any credibility left
