Pope Francis commissioned a four-book study in 2010 as archbishop of the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires attacking sexual abuse victims and defending a priest convicted of molesting a teenage boy. Francis, who was then known as Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, asked a lawyer and jurist by the name of Marcelo Sancinetti to carry out a more than 2,600-page study encompassing four volumes for the Argentinian Episcopal Conference to discredit the alleged victims of Father Julio César Grassi.
The volumes described the victims as “false accusers” and claimed their accusations were just ways of projecting their own sexual desires on Grassi, who was convicted of sexually abusing a boy at his Happy Children Foundation — an organization dedicated to rescuing homeless children — and sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Grassi was a national celebrity who established relationships with wealthy and powerful figures in Argentine society, while his victims were poor, teenage residents of his homeless shelters under the Happy Children Foundation (Fundación Felices los Niños) — which generated millions of dollars in donations each year.
Juan Pablo Gallego, who represented Grassi’s teen victims, told the local Spanish-language media outlet Infobae that as archbishop and head of the Argentinian Episcopal Conference, Francis commissioned the series titled “Studies on the Grassi Case” to reportedly influence judges on Argentina’s Supreme Court to maintain Grassi’s innocence.

He either steps down, or there will be a real schism.
The ImPopester is probably one of them.
Pedos protect their own......................
He’d make a fine democrat...
I’m now at that place where I want this abomination in silk slippers tried and executed.
Let’s help him pack. Buh-bye PF.
The cultural Marxist Crusaders have succeeded in completely taking over the Catholic Church. The fact that the New York Times is defending the Vatican leadership is proof of this.
The problem with Christianity, that makes it so susceptible to infiltration by unbelievers is the fact that there’s so many denominations that have become like little corporations. You build a bunch of churches a long time ago, and religious schools, and they become historic institutions and landmarks in their communities. Then they get taken over by Leftists, and people don’t notice because they think of the church or the religious school simply as a Mainstay in their community.
In Judaism, it is common that the most religious people worship in very low budget makeshift synagogues in religious neighborhoods. The most opulent synagogues in America are all Reformed (non-religious) and Conservative ( nominally religious). If Christianity is to survive and thrive, it needs to get away from being so institutionalized.
My father was the president of what was once a very large conservative synagogue, that has now been forced to merge with other struggling conservative synagogues in order to survive. So I’m well aware of how money conscious these institutions are. With judeo Christian values under attack in the West, small, unpretentious houses of worship will be key to their survival.
The larger the house of worship, the more ripe for corruption it is.
This is disgusting, but has been known for years. The commie pope is dragging the Catholic Church down. He is their Obama.
Gays protect gays. It’s rule #1 in the pervert community.
Behold the whore of Babylon
I’m with you on that.
“Pedos protect their own.”
Molesting a teenage boy is not an act of pedophilia. It’s just the way faggots act, in all places and at all times.
This insanity has only two expplanations.
1. The Pope is gay.
2. If not gay he endorses the gay agenda.
I personally find it odd that the Pope was a not in the seminary for years but we have zero information about him in the media before he joined the seminary and became a priest.
I desire to know the history of the Pope before he joined the seminary.
One explanation: institutional self-protection, CYA. They're worried about lawsuits and protective of their own, even when they go wrong.

He became a Jesuit novice at 22 and studied theology and taught until he was ordained a priest at age 31.
Pope Francis is destroying my once noble church. My church was once a force for good. It no longer is.
Francis is an avowed socialist by word, deed, and action. His prime motivation is socialism if not quasi communism. He will destroy the church as he follows his political beliefs. Francis is not a leader of my church but a politician hell bent on socialism and as mentioned quasi communism.
He is a bad pope. I hope my church survives him. It may not.
