A fish rots from the head down.
If he were a leader, there would already be homo priests kicked out/ being investigated rather than protecting them. The problem is almost entirely a homosexual problem.
There appears to be a major crisis in church leadership, more than just the personal sins of some priests and bishops.
Obviously Pope Francis is at the center, but he has many followers who may have participated in the corrupt practices and sinful environment of the church. They are accepting the silence of a cover up and failing to repent and correct the problems.
While a few have spoken out, the majority seems to accept the silence and follow the path of Pope Francis.
Archbishop Vigano has appealed to his brother bishops and priests that they have a choice. “You can choose to withdraw from the battle, to prop up the conspiracy of silence and advert your eyes from the spreading of corruption. You can make excuses, compromises and justification that put off the day of reckoning. You can console yourselves with the falsehood and the delusion that it will be easier to tell the truth tomorrow, and then the following day, and so on.”
“On the other hand, you can choose to speak.”
The laity needs to request repentance and a correction in the leadership.
The consequences is that many souls are at risk.
While Jesus Christ is merciful, he is still a fair and just judge. Jesus is still the leader of the Church and will always be with us.
I have always thought Obama and Bergoglio have a sick obsession with homosexuality. I think Obama is homosexual and I think Bergoglio is homosexual. Hes a Jesuit. It is engrained in them that there is nothing wrong with homosexual behavior. Bergoglio certainly wouldnt be the first homosexual pope. The difference in him and the others. They were Catholic and tried to hide it because they were Catholic. Bergoglio is Jesuit. He sees nothing wrong with practicing homosexuals in the priesthood. Hes tone deaf to it. As long as he remains look for him to ignore the homosexual sex scandal.
Take a look at this review of a book (Passionate Uncertainty) on the American Jesuit religious order. Written in 2002 (the book and the review) they are chilling harbingers of the tolerance/acceptance of active homosexuals in the priesthood.
