The Vatican insists there was no cover-up. It has accused the media and others of an "ignoble attack" on the Pope.
Seems that FRoman Catholics got their talking points straight from the top.
If the government used the justification that children were being harmed to attack the Branch Davidians, and I believe the same justification was used against the Mormons in Texas, then what's stopping the government from shutting down Romanist pedophile camps?
Now I'm not suggesting that the government has the right to do this, in fact, I believe it was wrong in the earlier cases. But the precedence is in place that will allow the Secularists to attempt to dismantle private Christian societies under the pretense that these Christian societies harm children and will point to the widespread abuse of children by Romanist clergy. The Romanists leaderships complicity in allowing this abuse to occur is giving the Secularists a foot in the door to tyrannize Christians of all denominations.
It's unbelievable enough that Romanists would send their children to these pedophile camps but now their deluded actions are cause for concern for all Christians.
