If the Pope can forgive them why can’t the McCann bashers?  Good point.

If the Pope can forgive them why can’t the McCann bashers?  Good point.

Didn't the Vatican pull all mention of the McCann's visit from their website?

Apparently ignoring the worldly notion of innocent until proven guilty, the Vatican has removed all mention of the Pope's meeting with the McCanns from its website, just in case.

Didn't the Vatican pull the Madeleine article from their website?

So do you think the Pope forgave them for their sins and then changed his mind?

           seems that way doesn't it?

The McCanns didn't have a private meeting with the Pope, you know. They attended one of his weekly audiences which are open to anyone. Around 25,000 other people were also present. He did bless them and a picture of Madeleine but he met other selected worshippers also.

Did I say they had a private meeting with them?  I am well acquainted with the facts, but thanks once again for trying to put me straight.

The McCanns were never on the Vatican website in the first place.  Just another myth.

Why the mention of 'forgiving them their sins' then? Did someone suggest the Pope had done that?

Could you refresh your memory by reading the posts I was replying to  and not just my posts out of comtext?  Same goes for the other thread.

More anonymous "witnesses" from the pen of a convicted perjurer.  Anonymous lawyer? ~ anonymous Irish teenager? ~ anonymous waiter? Thought Amaral's book was based on the files supposedly ... can't recall seeing anything about that lot there.

Kate doesn't have to rely on such inventions in her book ... because she writes about what actually happened.  Nor was there anything secretive or mysterious about the fact she had been given the key to the church.

What point is it were you insinuating in your post?

Kate McCann wrote about what actually happened?

I reported my fears that all three children could have been sedated. [madeleine]

There is no confirmation of this report.

She also gives the impression that the PJ left the family in 5A and they then took the twins to 5H. In reality the twins were in 4G when the PJ left, having been moved before the photographs of the apartment were taken.

There’s no confirmation that she did not report her fears either, and as for point two is that really all you could find?  An “impression”?

If she did, then her husband, her friends, two GNR officers and a member of the OC staff all ignored the danger the twins were in. 

Kate McCann was careful not to be specific on certain points. It's true that the PJ left, but not that they left the family in 5A. It's true that they all ended up in 5H, but there was an unmentioned detour to 4G first.

if there were any specific police searches overnight, they were not apparent. The only searches I was aware of were those carried out by ourselves, fellow guests and the Mark Warner staff [madeleine]

Not apparent to who? To Kate McCann, who didn't leave 5A so she had no idea who searched, but she feels she's qualified to comment nevertheless. Still, she manages to suggest that the police response was lacking.
