The Pope’ words ring hollow given men like this are tolerated contrary to Scripture:

“The Rev. Robert Carter, who in the early 1970s was one of the first Roman Catholic priests in the country to declare publicly that he was gay and who helped found the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, died on Feb. 22 in the Bronx. He was 82.” (from an earlier thread)

Or Bishops like Law, that repeatedly covered up the crimes of pedophile priests and now resides in the Vatican with a nice salary, home and servants.

Victim? Please!

"Victim? Please!"

It is representatives of the non-Catholics, failed-Catholics, and anti-Catholics like you who demonstrate no comprehension of the redemption, forgiveness, charity, and salvation that Christ gave his life on the cross for that make me proud and joyous to be a Catholic.

Blaming the Pope and the Vatican for all of the child abuse problems is like blaming Congress and the President for Abu Graib.

In fact, the current Pope was a zero tolerance advocate long before he became Pope, and wanted every abusive priest driven from the clergy and prosecuted. Some bishops protected their dioceses and the priests by moving the priests around.

Yes, the Vatican is a victim here, too. Society promoting and tolerating the homosexual and pedophile agenda is more to blame than the Vatican or the Pope.
