Imagine a child asking his father whether or not he had known about an uncle who had molested a sibling, but let that uncle be around the family anyways. Instead of giving an answer, the Father replies: “I will not say a single word about this.”#PopeFrancis#silence
There needs to be some sort of lay council with power in the Church to deal with sex abuse issues. I have not lost faith in Catholicism, but I have lost faith in clergy-led administration handling of such cases. (4)
Pope Francis either was complicit in a cover up, in which case he must be removed from office, or he was unaware of it occurring, which would mean he is not competent to lead the Church. (3)
A papal nuncio wrote an 11 page letter that a Cardinal who had been strongly sanctioned by Benedict for sex abuse had the sanctions removed by Francis.
That’s my understanding of it, and if true he needs to resign immediately, and is morally culpable.
