How did you know about it? I wouldn’t bet the Pope knew about it. If he was talking to the Philippines through official channels, I don’t think that government would mention this. I wouldn’t accuse him of being callous about imprisoned children, after he did the foot washing at the juvenile detention center awhile back.
I read about it online. Just google and you will see all the articles. It’s all over the world in the news. Daily News in the UK was especially heart-breaking pictures of the children. Nobel Prize winner Nominated, Irish missionary Father Cullen tries to rescues some of the kids.
I really find it hard to believe that the most powerful and richest Church in the world, doesn’t have a clue that the Philippines keeps street children caged up. I pretty sure that Father Cullen would have sent a message to the Pope and or his people about the human rights violations of these children.
6 million people turn up to see the POPE but turn a blind eye to their own children who are being raped, tortured, starved and chained.
