Pope Francis accused victims of Chile's most notorious pedophile of slander Thursday, an astonishing end to a visit meant to help heal the wounds of a sex abuse scandal that has cost the Catholic Church its credibility in the country. Francis said that until he sees proof that Bishop Juan Barros was complicit in covering up the sex crimes of the Rev. Fernando Karadima, such accusations against Barros are "all calumny." The pope's remarks drew shock from Chileans and immediate rebuke from victims and their advocates. They noted the accusers were deemed credible enough by the Vatican that it sentenced Karadima to a lifetime of "penance and prayer" for his crimes in 2011. A Chilean judge also found the victims to be credible, saying that while she had to drop criminal charges against Karadima because too much time had passed, proof of his crimes wasn't lacking.

Anything besides prison is a sick joke, even if you don’t find it so.
You would be in the very small minority.
But hey, as a Catholic who has been following news for a long time, the popes have turned a blind eye to this since forever.
“Anything besides prison is a sick joke, even if you dont find it so.”
Oh, I don’t know. I could be right. It happens.
I don’t know what the conditions of his confinement are, but it’s not out of line to think he would have more sodomy and other entertainment in jail than he would in a cloister.
“You would be in the very small minority.”
Luckily, truth is not subject to popular vote. For all we know he might be longing for prison and all the horny men he would find there.
“But hey, as a Catholic who has been following news for a long time, the popes have turned a blind eye to this since forever.”
I was thinking about that earlier. I’m not sure it’s accurate to think that reports of sodomy among clerics used to reach the ears of popes.
The pope is a major part of the priesthood corruption problem and the cover-ups.
It’s not necessarily as simple as that.
John 12:3-8
3 Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected,
5 Why wasnt this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a years wages.
6 He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.
7 Leave her alone, Jesus replied. It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial.
8 You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.
Later “all calumny.”
He also just gave some honor to an avid Abortion rights activist. Bad week for this Marxist fraud.
Guess it’s messing up his Gay Agenda.
The hits just keep coming from the jawbone of an ass.
