You keep pretending all Cardinals are bishops and that is just not the case. ..and you know it as an historian
The Sexual Abuse coverup has involved EVERY type of person in the heirchy with the possible exception of The Pope. I personally don’t believe none of them knew.
And know Australia has come out with their findings on a top Vatican Cardinal and trusted aide to the Pope - Pell. Not favorable and now we wait to see if they are going to press charges. Australia may charge him.
And yes, the Lavender Mafia exists.(and it is political..they will threaten you) So that is another EVIL if you are a true Catholic. Not all Catholics are Evil. But there are high ranking people within that Church who are EVIL and should be judged for there deeds instead of pretending they don't exist.
