Seven-in-ten Catholics say that addressing the sex abuse scandal should be “a top priority” for Francis. U.S. Catholics as a whole attach less importance to other possible priorities on the list. But among Catholics who say they attend Mass at least once a week, roughly equal numbers cite “standing up for traditional moral values” (65%) and “addressing the sex abuse scandal” (63%) as top priorities for the new pope. By contrast, among Catholics overall 49% say that standing up for traditional moral values should be “a top priority” for Pope Francis. Roughly four-in-ten Catholics or fewer think that spreading the Catholic faith (39%), addressing the priest shortage (36%) and reforming the Vatican bureaucracy (35%) should be top priorities for the new pope.
And then there is the 300 page dossier that three cardinals put together for PEXVI that was left by him for the new pope to have to deal with.
The purpose of this news release coming on the day of the new pope’s official swearing in, is so that the media can drag him through the mud during his entire papacy.
Didn’t take them long.
I’ve had it with the daily hammering of the child abuse and CC. Time to start on the Protestants thereagain they’re (nor the CC) have ever reached the secularist Education Dept stats where it’s 10%.
More Catholic-hating media bashing.
Total nonsense.
“Pope Francis Often Quiet on Sex Abuse Cases as Archbishop”
The press begin their attacks on another human being who believes in the concept of moral accountability.
There’s a Hurlingham, Argentina?!!
