I expected nothing more from Christians.
For the pope I’d be concerned if he didn’t support harboring sexual abuse.
In other words: he’s fit for the job
That was quick.
Thus answering the question “Is the Pope Catholic?”
He’s just a priest, nothing really can come of him
That’s a feature, not a bug.
I thought it was called a job requirement.
Right? Find me a single priest who isn’t a kiddy diddler or who hasn’t protected one. I’ll wait.
I mean, you don’t make it to the top of the mafia without being a gangster
Isn’t that what you do when you’re a member of a pedophile ring?
Couldn’t you make this article no matter who they picked?
The previous pope didn’t have this problem.
Pretty sure he did…
Hmm. Maybe never was too strong a word.
He’s also threatening to excommunicate any priest who follows Washington’s mandatory reporting law.
No more tax exemption. Even better, ban them.
Which shows where their priorities are.
Not in the greater good.
Not even in the common good.
Their priorities are, as always, been in protecting, defending, and hiding pedophiles… especially pedophile priests and other officials.
Doctors, Teachers, Therapists, Etc all have a moral and legal imperative to protect children from harm and abusers. Why is it the catholic church fights so hard to argue it doesnt?
He’s a corporativist
The environment - so trusting of Trump, so distrustful of clergy - is so charged that one needs only say that priest did something and it takes on a life of its own.
I don’t know this priest. I didn’t know the last Pope.
But I bet a real investigation will show what happened more than rumours planted on Facebook while a despot needs a diversion and a villain.
If you’d read the article you will see that this is a report from a network of church abuse survivors and the person speaking has first hand evidence from speaking to Prevost. If you discount them, you are basically saying that witness statements count for nothing. You are silencing the victims.
You will also know that Prevost blocked the ‘real investigation’ you claim you want and this is core to the point of the article.
The environment isn’t trusting .
The media is amplifying all FUD from anyone except Trump.
i think he did much worse than look away.
