Further evidence that the cover-up of sexual abuse goes back before Vatican II. It's a shame that this is John XXIII devising this kind of hideous practice.

Excuse me, but John XXIII, who devised "this kind of hideous practice" is the one who convened VC II.

By their fruits, you shall know them.

If you think this "practice" is a novelty with John XXIII, you're truly dense.

Sexual abuse was rampant under Pius XII, and, likely under prior popes, but victims were treated just as shabbily.

Clerical abuse of children is the sin in the Church that dare not speak its name.
