Sex scandals, corruption hit the church: Kevin Barrett

A political analyst tells Press TV that there are all kinds of sexual decadence, blackmail and financial corruption at the highest levels in the West and unfortunately it seems to have touched the Catholic Church.

The comments came after a new report said that Pope Benedict XVI decided to resign as head of the Catholic Church after learning about the extent of sex and graft scandals inside the Vatican. On February 11, Pope Benedict XVI, the spiritual leader of Christians, said he intends to officially step down from his post at 1900 GMT on February 28 since he is no longer able to carry out his duties because of his advanced age.
