“We confess that bishops, priests, deacons and religious in the Church have done violence to children and youth, and that we have failed to protect those who most needed our care,” they prayed.

No mention of homosexual acts between adults.

When Frank the Heretic speaks, nobody listens.

[JoeFromSidney]

None of this is going to matter until Frankie makes it his job to clean up the mess. The buck stops in the Vatican.

"What have I failed to do?"

Still a ways to go on the coverup, otherwise you've done fine.

[billorites]

"The buck stops in the Vatican."

The Pontiff du jour will not be mistaken for Harry Truman.

“’What have I failed to do?’”

Pope, you have not allowed priests and nuns to marry persons of the opposite gender. Then they wouldn’t be abusing kids.

[Ouderkirk]

Franky....what have you failed to do???

The list is lengthy...

First, you have endorsed sodomy rather than condemned it.

Second, you have not removed those who have abused children and turned them over to the police. Instead, you have protected them.

That’s just two of thousands of things you have FAILED to do.

[Da Coyote]

What has he failed to do?
Everything.

[Parmy]

No! What he has failed to do is to defrock these perverts. And then, turn them over to civil authorities for persecution.

Instead, what he has done is embrace known deviates and bring them into the Vatican circle of power.

Sanctimonious hypocrite.

'What have I failed to do?'

Include Jesus Christ in your job description.

‘What have I failed to do?’

You failed in every way possible, Herr Socialist.

[allendale]

A decent man would resign and force each and every predator and those who protected them to resign as well. “Pope” Francis will never resign. Nor will the homosexuals who have a death grip on the Church leave easily or willingly.

[JoeFromSidney]

Right. Old "who am I to judge" in the Vatican will never be mistaken for "Give 'em Hell Harry."

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Pope, you have not allowed priests and nuns to marry persons of the opposite gender. Then they wouldn’t be abusing kids.

Sex.

Words have a gender. People have a sex.

The thing that no one wants to talk about is that most of the abused are male.

And no matter how much they may want it to be otherwise the vast majority of the abuse is homosexual in nature. Which is logical. When your entire identity is centered on who makes your sexual organs twitch then chastity or celibacy is not going to happen.

They have failed to keep homosexuals out. That is what they failed to do.

And then they subscribed to the modern idea that with "counseling" such people can be fixed.

They can not.

[Eagles6]

See?

It's all good now.

They pretended to pray and ask for forgiveness.

Now on to more important matters like global warming...I mean climate change...
