    I ask our Blessed Mother to intercede for the healing of the survivors of abuse and to confirm every member of our Christian family in the resolve never again to permit these situations to occur.

        With all your due respect Pope Francis, there is testimony out there that you and many other higher officials in the church knew about all these abuses since 2013 and did nothing about. If this is true and you really love the church please do the right thing and step down!

        Disgusting. This isn't just some sin your magical powers can wash away. This is criminal. This is abuse. This is assault. On CHILDREN. Permanent, violent trauma. How dare you pray for forgiveness and pretend it isn't going to continue occurring as it always has?

        This is both abuse and a sin and Jesus respected the law of his time and so should we. Francis can only say so much in a tweet. Give him a break

        He gave 3 speeches in Ireland over 2 days and never ONCE apologised. It’s a disgrace. It’s not a sin it’s a CRIME #Stand4Truth

        The Pope’s gesture was both unprecedented and unexpected. It came during the Penitential Rite, the moment within Mass when the celebrant and faithful acknowledge their sins, repent, and ask for mercy and forgiveness.pic.twitter.com/c4IRmiqckR

        Or you could instruct every member of your church to immediately report potential crimes to the authorities, and those that do not comply will be excommunicated.

        This was already done and ignored by this Pope. This is a systemic issue.

        Those kids’ prayers never stopped it while it was happening, what makes you think it’s going to help now? DO SOMETHING. Defrock and excommunicate these assholes and everyone who helped cover it up. That includes you.

        Catholicism started with a rape. It has no regard for women, children or the future of humanity!
