I read his statement. I’d like to think this is an opportunity, and the clock is running.
The Pope’s likely seen it to by now. What’s he going to do about it?
The move here is fire him. Immediately. Send him home and mail him his clothes.
If the Pope fails to act, hoping it blows over, then you know the rot is to the core - From Pope down.
To my mind, a guy like that makes a statement like that because he’s part of a culture, and nobody really ever questioned it.
That’s the clearest case of a firing offense as I’ve ever seen.
You admit that it’s a vipers’ pit ... That it is open and proud of being a vipers’ pit does not make it OK.
Obama is why we have for President.
Correction: we have Trump for President.
I would say that victims have had enough of keeping silence.
>>You admit that it’s a vipers’ pit.<<
They are BOTH VIPERS PITS!! Man oh man...keep up.
I think the new Cardinal is right to a point. By the time I got to high school, at the age of 13, it would have been impossible for a priest to take advantage of me sexually. I think that some, not all, of these abused men were partly responsible for the acts and now feel guilty. To assuage that guilt, they are now taking part in the accusations against the priests. I do at least wonder.
No punishment we can devise will equal the punishment these evildoers will receive from God Almighty. Jesus warns, “ If anyone offends these little ones, who believe in Me, it would be better for him that a millstone be hanged around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.”(Matthew 18:6,Mark 9:42,Luke 17:2)
“All clergy who have abused children should at the very least be permanently put in positions where they can never access children again.”
Why am I beginning to suspect that they won’t do this common sense thing, because if they did, there wouldn’t be enough priests left to staff all the parishes?
You have an opinion.
That’s cute.
But the leavers are wallowing in the void of the lack of graces found only in the reception of the Sacrament of the Eucharist which is the Real Presence,body and blood ,soul and divinity of the Lord, Jesus Christ.
____________________________________________________________
The Roman Catholic Church is where the void is today. You can’t tell me that a priest who moments, hours or days ago was having homosexual sex with with a child can exercise his priesthood in any manner that would make the Eucharist real.
Francis commissioned a study to find out how bad the problem in the church is and the report said that between 18 to 58 percent of priests were “practicing” homosexuals.
A vile evil force has taken the church by storm, Christ’s Church it may have been but it has been stolen by EVIL men. When any priesthood holder makes excuses for homosexuality they are evil.
If Christ were on the earth He would severely punish the homosexuals that ruin lives of innocents. The Lord said it would be better that they had a millstone around their necks and thrown into the sea than have to suffer the punishments for what they have done.
The fact that there is no wholesale removal of these evil priests from the church tells me that the leadership is in on it. It sickens me and should sicken the leaders but it doesn’t because they look at it differently being a part of it. Evil never looks as bad when you are the evil doer.
THERE IS NO EXCUSE.
Try telling that to The Bent One.
What’s cute is the point just flew right over your head.
I observe, incidentally,that the Church's enemies, both foreign and domestic, have the same goal. They also have the same method.
Funny how it works that way.
Let me guess who also diddled kids.........
It's called "prison".
and Matthew 18:6 / Luke 17:2
You’re kidding right.
How about tossed from the church....forever
Primera regla de agujeros, Padre.
Roman Catholicism forfeited the right to call itself a church long ago.
The Roman Catholic organization is no body of Christ.
