All the nonsense about how the Catholic Church has cleaned up the pedophilia scandal is disproven yet again. The problem lies in doctrinal error and self-serving church tradition that is not Biblical.

If the Church had wanted to destroy its brand, they couldn’t have come up with a better way to do it than to allow and protect pedophilia within the ranks. Preying on the congregation really diminishes respect for clergy.

Nothing more than crocodile tears. If Bergoglio accepts any of their resignations, he needs to resign himself.

This will result in Frances’ resignation, which was the plan all along.

The new paradigm for popes will be that it is not a lifetime appointment, but for a term of years.

Eventually we might have four or five living popes at a time.

By then the Roman Caholic Church will be just another NGO.

“Pedophilia” isn’t accurate,IMO. This is-I would bet-almost all HOMOSEXUALITY, priests abusing boys. I’ve said it before, I would rather see ONE, ONE priest per continent who actually lived his vows than have a church filled with homsexuals. Complete purge. Of course it won’t happen, they’re too high up in the Vatican and will protect the lower ranks to save their own heads. Catholicism shouldn’t be judged by the perverts working in it any more than your groceries should be valued by the lifestyle of the supermarket workers bagging your purchases.

Was that what caused the betrayal of Judas?

A church which has no scandal and no corruption is one which is of no concern to Satan.

Very significant development
Question this report which makes it sound like the bishops are defending deviant priests. Francis was bombarded when he went there about his position seeming to defend clergy accused of this.

The problem lies in doctrinal error

Yeah, because it says right there in the catechism that homosexual priests molesting teenage boys are A-OK ... oh, wait, it says nothing of the sort, in fact, it says precisely the opposite.

More like a failure of church discipline and leadership.

Merely the tip of the iceberg.
