Pope Benedict XVI

Today on Flashpoints, a distinguished professor of moral theology at Marquette University has called for the pope’s resignation for his role in the cover-up of rape and molestation of over 200 deaf children in Milwaukee. We’ll feature a live report on the story that could bring down a pope and put him in the dock at the Hague for crimes against childhood and humanity. Also, Flashpoints features an in-depth interview with Nativo Lopez just released from jail an hour ago and facing 8 felony charges and 6 years in jail after being set-up by political opponents.
