No disrespect to his Holiness but, as usual for the Church, too little, too late. Too much leeway in self-policing and too much vested interest when investigations are from in-house.

Haha, no. No, sorry. This isn't "extraordinary" in any way. Your organization is a den of child rapists. Either execute him or dissolve the church. THAT would be extraordinary.

This SOB was with presidents and leaders! He also was a pedophile! Going into retirement with no repercussions! This has happened around the world and it happened to me! "extraordinary disciplinary measure" should be tree chipper fed from feet first!

The fact that this has gone on for hundreds of years with a blind eye leaves me unimpressed. What a gross institution. Vile, really. Abusers should be imprisoned.

How is he above the law? The church doesn’t get to decide his fate. He needs to go before a judge and jury. Resign my ass. It’s not like the kids he abused are miraculously healed because he resigned. They need justice. Church is a sham

Agree. They are the same as us. They should be penalized the same as us.

Because enforced celibacy is a recipe for abuse and other variations of disaster! Ascetics who make this personal choice are another matter.

The celibacy bit has ZERO to do with biblical teachings, and was a made up rule, still is. It’s a disaster and always has been.

Monks/nuns are different than priests, agreeing to a cloistered or community type lifestyle/commitment. The Catholic celibacy policy has/has NOTHING to do with anything except creating a mythos. Generations of younger sons were trapped in this nonsense. It’s been rife w abuse!

Unacceptable. He should be tried in a court of law and jailed He should be defrocked and lose his pension like everybody else. He and the RC church should be subject to civil cases for damages.

The Catholic Church should be legally obligated to provide prosecutors with any evidence they possess of child rape and the covering up of such crimes. Not doing so is obstruction of justice.
