    Paedophilia is an illness NOT a crime, says cardinal just days after papal conclave
    • Claimed people abused as youngsters who then become paedophiles 'not criminally responsible'
    • Says paedophilia 'is an illness, not a criminal condition'
    • Says those people do not deserve to be punished because they are damaged
    • Pope Francis said that he wants a 'church for the poor'

    A South African cardinal who helped elect Pope Francis has described paedophilia as a psychological illness and not 'a criminal condition'.
    The Catholic Archbishop of Durban, Wilfrid Fox Napier, told BBC Radio 5 live that people who were abused as children and became paedophiles were not criminally responsible for their actions in the same way as somebody 'who chooses to do something like that'.
    Cardinal Napier, who was among the 115 cardinals in the conclave at the Vatican that elected Pope Francis earlier this week, called paedophilia a 'psychological disorder.
    And just three days into the new role, the pope and the Catholic Church are now faced with fresh child abuse controversy after the cardinal's remarks.

    "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

    Rather than discussing issues that ultimately diminishes the awful truth that God's children were/are abused by the very people that profess to saving souls why didn't the cardinal jump on the clear directional change the new pope brings.
    It was an absolute disgrace that the former Pope, after spending all of 1 hour with a gay couple, had a tragic change in perspective.
    This guy Francis comes with luggage,the very type that questions his commitment to divinity.
    It also sides with one priest(Francis) making liars out of two preists,there is a sinful hypocrisy which I would not expect from these holier than thou people.
    My guess is he was carefully picked to at least maintain the status quo.
    If only the church had the money, surely the suffering of the poor would be history.
    There isn't a corporation as rich as the vatican, so the real question is if only they would do something with that 'loot'.
    Pope for the poor?
    I doubt it,more likely business as usual!
