Without getting into the problems with Pope Francis let me say that this a false and dishonest story.
1. There are almost no “pedophile priests”. There are almost no priests that have sexually assaulted young children. The pedophiles in the priesthood are almost nonexistent and far fewer than in any other part of society.
2. In the recent past there was a small network of homosexual priests and bishops. They were a very small percentage of the total priesthood, but they worked together and promoted and protected each other. Pope John Paul II and Bishop Ratzinger worked diligently to remove these priests wherever possible.
3. The vast majority of priests are good and holy men who sacrifice for others and do much good.
4. The media creates the myth of pedophile priests because the media is strongly anti-Catholic and anti-Christian. The media hate people of faith and do everything they can to attack people of faith and religions.
5. The media almost never report honestly on the work done by good priests. They frequently spread lies about Christians and Christianity and do all they can to make Christians look bad. The false stories about pedophile priests is just one small part of this overall strategy.
OK, so what about the ones, who DID get molested?
Or did that not happen either, and they’re all lying?
I can remember one particularly notorious ‘priest’ in California that that shit-stain Roger Mahony kept moving around from parish to parish...
I don’t think Your information is correct.
There are 3 books at the time of the explosive story of bad Priests.
These books were written by Priests or ex Priests. and they number the Bad priests in the thousands. Many still in the church.
The are probably relatively few priests who are truly pedophiles. But there are thousands of homosexual priests who are pederasts.
That is as big a mishmash of true and demonstrably false statements as has ever been made on the topic.
