For 1,300 years actually.
More than 80% of the 266 Popes have been Roman.
One English one - Nick Brakespear, about a thousand years ago.
He was called Adrian.
I think Adrian was made a saint,wasn't he? |

Thanks Honey - but it's the bigger RCC systematic abuse saga that intrigues me (not an OAP groper from Gloucestershire).
It seems that the current Pope is currently interviewing 'clergy of interest' from Pennsylvania, Washington, Chile etc.
And being surprisingly pro-active compared to his predecessors. Some say, not a popular direction, to Vatican veterans.
Francis though is the first Pope from outside Italy/Europe - for many many years...hundreds? |

This is a story about an OAP public groper, who also attacks policemen.
Sexual assault - and, physically attacking policemen - would usually call for a custodial sentence.
Unless the assailant is a Catholic priest!
The same as Australia, USA, Ireland etc., etc.
House arrest/or being held by/in the Vatican is the usual remedy for the RCC.
Many now live/exist there 'in silent prayer' - with women and adolescents, conspicuous by their absence.
I do apologise, Barney. I didnt realise this still happened, and its not for the want of you trying to explain it. |
