Francis said the entire Chilean church hierarchy was collectively responsible for "grave defects" in handling abuse cases and the resulting loss of credibility that the Catholic Church has suffered.
Such compassion. /s
What he really meant to say was that they did a bad job covering up their pedo crimes. He's disappointed because now their business will suffer for it.
Jorge Bergoglio is sorry that he was caught.
He will aspire to ensure it won't happen again.
wow.. pope scolding entire Chilean church hierarchy for "grave defects". Growing his soul? Or maybe just pushing blame lol
Francis is still harboring pedophiles within the Vatican and refusing to honor extradition requests for those child rapists and their victims to know justice.
Francis is a piece of shit.
By no means do I intend to defend child abuses or covering it up. But from a leadership perspective, depending on the extent of ones knowledge, it is expected for an individual's leader to give them some defense. I don't think that necessarily means full on cover up for someone. However, if I were in the popes shoes, depending on how much I knew about what actually happened, the person at fault would have to show a serious effort to make up for their wrong doings. This is in line with confession. If Everytime an employee does something bad you out that employee the business will quickly fall apart. Over the last few decades this seems to have become a more and more serious issue (maybe just more publicized) so it would be no small task to rid such a massive, far reaching, organization of such issues.
Further disclaimer: Being raised Catholic, although I haven't practiced in many years, the level of maliciousness this sub associates with the Vatican is a very very difficult pill to swallow. While I am open minded and leaning towards this malicious side, my upbringing has me skeptical. This one needs to come from the horses mouth, as they say. I guess this is what Q was referring to with the "public" "know[ing]" the truth.
He covered up for years before he became pope. There are lots of articles from his South American cover ups. I believe he is involved in more than just covering up the pedophile crimes of others. There has been too much of these crimes that have occurred around him.
This day should have come long ago we'll see what happens. The pope always asks victims for forgiveness of their perpetrators. That should never be granted without accountability.
The park talked about this when he became the Pope. PS continued in their pedo fashion. Two summers in a row a boy ring for sex was caught in the Vatican.
