Pope Francis is Stonewalling a Summons for his Head of the CDF to Stand Trial for Sex Abuse Cover-up: Massive Media Cover-up

Pope Francis's Vatican is stonewalling a summons for his head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to stand trial for sex abuse cover-up.

Imagine the media outcry if Pope John Paul II's powerful Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) perfect Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (later to be Pope Benedict XVI) had been summoned to stand trail for sex abuse cover-up and the Vatican had stonewalled the summons.

It appears that Pope Francis's powerful Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) perfect Archbishop Ladaria Ferrer has been summoned to stand trail for sex abuse cover-up and the Vatican has stonewalled the summons while almost all of the American Catholic and secular media are covering it up.

This is a massive American media cover-up.

The United Kingdom's Tablet on September 11, 2018 reported:

"A French court has ordered Cardinal Philippe Barbarin, Archbishop of Lyon, to face trail in early January on charges of failing to denounce a sexually abusive priest, without the presence of co-defendant Vatican Cardinal Luis Ladaria Ferrer, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF)."

"The twice-delayed trial of Cardinal Barbarin, who denies wrongdoing in an abuse case tormenting his archdiocese, should go ahead on 7-9 January despite the Vatican's failure to respond to a summons issued to Cardinal Ladaria, it decided."

"... Barbarin faces the civil trial along with Cardinal Ladaria, two French bishops and a priest for failing to report a confessed serial abuser, Fr Bernard Preynat, to the police for abusing many Catholic boy scouts during the 1980s."

"The cardinal has denied wrongdoing but admitted his reaction to abuse accusations he learned about in 2007 was “belated”. Preynat was not removed from ministry until 2015."

"Lawyers for the victims say Ladaria had advised Barbarin by letter in 2015 to discipline Preynat but avoid public scandal. At the time, he was secretary of the CDF, the Vatican department that handles clerical sexual abuse cases."

"Their trial was first delayed because the summons was not translated into Spanish and Italian and sent to Rome in time. It has since been submitted to the Vatican."

“'This is turning into a soap opera. It’s enough!' Eymeric Molin, a lawyer for the defence, complained while arguing for the trial to go ahead without Ladaria.""

Plaintiff François Devaux, head of the victims’ group, countered that the Vatican should not be able to hide behind legal technicalities. “If this takes another three years (to resolve), we’ll hang on,” he said."[https://www.thetablet.co.uk/news/9722/barbarin-trial-to-go-ahead-without-accused-cdf-prefect]

Sex abuse expert Betty Clermont reveals what Francis's CDF perfect Archbishop Ladaria Ferrer who judges the sex abuse cases for the Pope is accused of:

"Pope Francis appointed Ladaria as prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Vatican department that addresses cases of clergy sexual abuse, on June 30. Ladaria had previously served as secretary, the second highest official."

"Three days later, Ladaria was accused of covering up for Fr. Gianni Trotta. 'The congregation received complaints against Trotta in 2009 and three years later found him guilty of sexually abusing minors, demoting him from the priesthood but failing to inform the Italian authorities …. Ladaria wrote to the bishop of Foggia in 2012 instructing him not to divulge the reasons why Trotta had been stripped of his priesthood 'so as to avoid scandal.'"

 'Trotta continued to dress as a priest and became the coach of a youth soccer team."

"Trotta, already convicted of sexual violence against an 11-year-old and sentenced to eight years in prison by a civil court, is now standing trial for nine other alleged cases of sex abuse against boys that occurred in 2014. 'Trotta allegedly raped five, abused others in his home individually or in groups, photographing them during sexual acts.'”

“'If Ladaria had informed the police, these children would have been safe,' journalist and Vatican expert Emiliano Fittipaldi noted."

Our heretic pope never answered the Dubia

[Missouri gal]

I hope somebody is keeping score of all the abusers Francis has been and is still protecting, and even promoting to high positions. It’s a long list.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Francis and his mignons don't have to answer to anyone for anything, apparently.

Don't worry; God is.

And won't Francis be surprised by his "god of surprises" at his last judgement?
