Victims say allegations against Karadima were reported earlier, but were ignored by the cardinal. Errazuriz, who is one of nine cardinals on Pope Francis' key advisory panel, has acknowledged in court testimony that he failed to act on several abuse allegations because he believed them to be untrue.

Errazuriz, another member of Francis' Gang o' Nine; Francis really knows how to pick 'em.

pedophilia usually is a distinct illness but here the two adult priests allegedly were getting it on as well. not sure what to think but I think the priesthood in many regions became rife with perverts whether they be gays, child molesters or both.

Well lets see.We now have homosexual ministers, churches marrying homosexuals etc. Once you start allowing one perversion how do you take a moral stand on the next one?

On 4/13/14, Francis appointed Bishop Marcello Semeraro as secretary of the commission of cardinals appointed to advise him on the government of the universal Church.

Ever since, the Gang o’ Eight has mostly been referred to as the Gang o’ Nine.

Note: Despite the polar pronouncement of Pope Benedict, the CDF, and Ecclesia Dei Commission, Bishop Semeraro has stated that those attend SSPX Masses incur automatic excommunication.

Another recent Pope Francis appointee, Bishop Robert McElroy (the new head of the Diocese of San Diego) continued to facilitate homosexual adoptions even after receiving a directive from the CDF to cease and desist.

Rising to the office of bishop does not preclude one from being an idiot.

99.9% percent of them are not pedophiles but are predatory queers!

Thanks, I did not know that. So McElroy permitted child abuse / sexual molestation (whether physically or psychologically) of young innocent children, but was still still promoted by Francis.

Christ's word's of "millstone around the neck" come to mind.

But at least Francis has been fairly consistent in his appointments of "friends of homos" to hierarchal positions; and it's only been two years since his reign of terror has begun.

Do you think these two favored Irishmen of Francis are related to each other?

Looks like neither of them have ever suffered a potato famine, let alone miss an early afternoon libation and a good joke about those supposed "doctors of the law" that Francis so disdains..
