Full title.......................Pope cuts penalties for paedophile priests - including one let off with just a lifetime of prayer for abusing five young boys .........................Pope Francis has been slammed by church officials and sex abuse survivors for cutting penalties for paedophile priests.
The Pope is said to be applying his vision of a 'merciful church' to sex offenders by reducing punishments to weaker sentences, such as a lifetime of prayer and penance.
It has been revealed by church officials that Pope Francis overruled advice given to him by the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith about two priests - allowing them to be punished by a lifetime of prayer.

Soros and his Pope want to legitimize pedophilia? Where are the authorities on this?
So, why not go with allowing priests to be married?
I’m not a catholic, but it seems to me that becoming a priest with a dedication to the church and to God - foregoing marriage and family is more than passingly strange, especially given that priests provide counseling to people about marriage and family issues.
Being a priest does seem to be an attractive lifestyle for gays, just sayin’.
Pedophilia . . .
It’s who they are
They’re probably at Comet Ping Pong having cheese pizza with John Podesta and David Brock.
Totally agree with you.
For many centuries the Church was a place of sanctuary for those who were bothered by the events of the day. The idea of the sanctuary turning evil and being a threat is repulsive. Why can not a same-sex adult male just have sex with another same sex adult male and not try to rape an under-age boy.?! I see the Chatholic Church as being very sick. Maybe not the regular members...but most assuredly the Vatican.
This guy is utterly Satanic.
There is no reason why a priest cannot go to jail for child molestation just like any other pedo. Has any priest ever gone to jail for pedophilia or any other crime?
I have this book and I recommend it.
Eastern Orthodox priests are allowed to marry and the Eastern church is a old as the Roman church.
Obviously this man does not want the Catholic church to exist 5 years from now.
Francis is Mazzini’s dream pope.
The leadership of the Catholic Church is very sick as are the secular leaders of the West such as the political leaders. The Illuminati planned this a long time ago. Look up Mazzini on youtube.
Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “’Come out of her, my people,’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; - Rev 18:4
We have had bad popes in the past. The current one is working himself into that category.
The Maronites do as well and they are as ancient as any Christian denomination.
Why would I?
I am doing my own BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) program with my church.
“My understanding is that the catholic church, in its attempt to reduce costs due to upkeep of a family and the potential future widow, forbid priests to marry.”
No, that is not why it happened. You might want to read:

“Eastern Orthodox priests are allowed to marry and the Eastern church is a old as the Roman church.”
But their bishops don’t marry nor are married men ever made bishops. Also, Eastern Orthodox NEVER allow priests to become married men. They allow married men to become priests. There is a difference.
NO Catholic I know expects anything but leftist thinking from a Jesuit Pope. Hey- at least he expects prayer from pedophile priests; gay priests having sex with adult men, or each other, aren’t even expected to do a minimum penance. As long as the church is infested with GAY clergy( and I believe it’s over 50%, well entrenched and in positions of power) it will get worse. It’s about homosexuality; the vast majority of child victims are male! Instead of the Church standing as a means for believers to raise themselves UP to a higher standard, it has descended to excuse, validate and protect the sinful. Catholics and the Catholic Church are growing farther and farther apart. This Pope wears Catholicism as a thin veneer that is gradually wearing away. JESUIT says it all.
