Re: The pope's letter (I believe we shouldn't be censored, but we should be mannerly. I also believe the victims have a voice-using “victim” to refer to all members of the Catholic church) does not mention bishops or cardinals. He's trying pretty hard to make it be the whole church's fault.

I have never cared for this pope. I want the old stubborn German guy back, him I can understand (I'm 1/2 German).

So, the Pope's doing what he does best...shilly shalling around the fault.

Oh I agree about manners!
I’m not seeking to censor, but I am also acutely aware that our threads can sometimes go sideways if we enter in to such discussions. I wanted to offer the article, but have a balance of avoiding too much controversy.

LOL I can understand what you say about the German guy. And I think you have a very succinct way of summiing up the current guy!
