Pope pledges 'zero tolerance' for sexual abuse
The Catholic Church must show "zero tolerance" to sexual assault by members of the clergy, Pope Francis said in excerpts of an interview with a Portuguese television channel broadcast Sunday.
"It's very clear. It's zero tolerance," he told TVI/CNN Portugal in an interview, extracts of which were published on the channel's website.
"A priest cannot continue being a priest if he is an aggressor. He cannot because he is either sick, or a criminal," he said.

So says Hypocrite Jorge who rehabilitated Cardinal "Uncle Teddy" McCarrick immediately after Jorge's becoming pope.
It wasn't until Archbishop Vigano blew the whistle, that McCarrick was laicized.
To this day, Bergoglio has advanced and protected another known homosexual, Bishop Gustavo Zanchetta.

The only way to do it is to clean up the Vatican and the seminaries...and that ain’t gonna happen under the Communist Pope’s watch.

It's both, each and every time. But I have no faith anymore that Pope Frankie means what he says.

So it only took the church 1,722 or so yrs to say knock it off?
Okay.

What is he, 9 years into his papacy and he finally has decided to denounce abuse instead of defending and protecting it? Sorry Charlie, not buying it now.

Anymore he sounds like I’m listening to any politician or corporate executive.

There was a guy who was friends with my roommate who went off to the Vatican to study to be a priest.
Then a year or so later I saw him in the university library and asked him what he was doing back in town.
He quit seminary.
Shocked, I asked why. He said the homosexuality was out of control.
“You didn’t get involved with that stuff, did you?” I asked.
He responded, “Well, if you hang around the barber shop long enough you’re going to get a haircut.”
This is a true story.

Depends of what you call “abuse”. Sort of like what the meaning of “is” is said a previous prominent politician.

IOW, we can’t cover it up like we used to and it’s killing us in legal fees and awards. Can’t tolerate that anymore.
To: ebb tide
Sure, unless it’s a priest. Then they’ll cover it up.

But he clarified sex with an altar boy is not sexual abuse. It’s a priests god-given right.
