There's an anti-Catholic ‘hate’ campaign- Vatican
The Vatican is planning its counterattack against the accusations that Pope Benedict XVI assisted in covering up the actions of pedophile priests to save the church’s reputation.
Senior cardinals in Rome sees the whole situation as an anti-Catholic `’hate" campaign that they say is in connection to the fact that Benedict is leading church opposition to same-sex marriage.
Vatican Radio on Tuesday quoted Italian Cardinal Giovanni Lajolo, a Holy See official, as saying the church must pardon its attackers for what he called "hatred against the Catholic church."
Spanish Cardinal Julian Herranz, who heads a Vatican disciplinary commission, says the pope is being attacked because of his views against abortion and same-sex marriage.
