I'd just stop liking him. Francis has had years now to do something about the Church's grotesque program of protecting and enabling child rapists but has done nothing. He's just a fresh coat of paint on the same old horrid status quo.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/19/pope-francis-victims-church-sexual-abuse-slander-chile …

Just stop liking him? How about taxing the church at 30% to make them pay for services to help those they’ve harmed? Make it a felony with a mandatory 18-month minimum for not reporting these crimes to police.

I was just replying to Shaun saying he liked Francis, but yeah, all of this.
Also remove the statutes of limitations on rape when minors are involved. The article I linked said "proof of his crimes was not lacking" but they can't charge him because "too much time had passed".

The sexual abuse in the Catholic Church has gone on for decades and under different Popes. The same story over and over: abuse, cover up, victim steps forward, others join, payoff, end of story until the next time

That’s what I read. They need to move way way faster on this though. There are 49 states left. There is no fitting apology, only reform.

I’m confused how this is news? We’ve all heard about what happened in the Archdiocese in Boston. Thy made a whole movie about it in 2015 that won two Oscars. We’ve all known for decades!!

Is it possible that he knew nothing. Yes. He is the insulated head of a huge bureaucracy, so the information may not have fully filtered to the top. The question is whether it is probable. I would think not, but again, plausible that member hide it from him, to protect him.

Unlikely. I do wonder what was in his power to control in the situation, however. He currently, however, has a lot of power to control this conversation.

I find that hard to believe considering most of us that were raised in a Catholic setting knew something was going on.

It can't be considered very genuine when his only other option would be 'ah, dang it, you caught us'

I think it depends entirely on what he meant by "this whole thing" doesn't it?

And yet he does nothing. He's better than most popes, but that bar is so low as to be indistinguishable from the ground. Pope Frank is still a pope and will protect the church over its flock, at all costs.
