Oh, so it’s OK then?

You’re fine with the pope allowing this?

It doesn’t matter if it happened yesterday or last year. It happened under the current pope.

But go ahead, and keep your head in the sand and denying the facts.

The fact is, the RCC is in DEEP trouble, and most of the RC’s on FR are just in denial about it, trying to deflect the discussion.

......No, just bidding our time, look for this Pope to step down once he turns 8-0. He even said his time as Pope will not be long.

No, I'm am not worried about the Church being "in trouble." That is God's concern, not mine-- if his ministers are inept or unfaithful, he is their judge, not me.

The Catholic Church is not a human institution. Established by Christ himself, it has lasted more than 2000 years. It has outlasted all those who have tried to destroy it or who have predicted it's demise. And it has weathered much worse Popes than Francis, that's for sure. :)
