Catholic church cannot rescind Papal Knighthood awarded to pedophile Jimmy Savile

Unfortunately some will use this to attack the Church, ironic considering it was the great liberal leftie BBC which made many of the same mistakes the Church has made in relation to suspected abusers. The papal knighthood cannot be rescinded because it does not exist anymore, it dies with the recipient.

its unclear from this article, has he been convicted? i know some irish people who used to watch his jim will fix it show and they said even as teenagers he creeped them out as he was too "weird" the way he was with kids - how can teenagers spot something and adults not!! how has it only come to light now so many years later? some of those kids would be in their 50's going on the age of the people i know who knew that tv show and thought he was too odd with kids

Of course they can. The nonsense of Papal Infallibility is the reason they won’t.

The Roman Catholic church looks after its own,
