[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So to those who say he’s a liberal, what about this?

Liberal in the Catholic Church still means pretty right wing on many issues.

The child sexual abuse scandal should have toppled the whole thing.  It's disgusting and egregious they try to lecture ANYONE about how to live a pious life while harboring such villains.  Pass on all of it.[/quote]
They just won't deal with it. They won't really ever. And it happened all over the world. It's a huge stain on the church. [/quote]

Let me start by saying that I think every priest (Catholic and other religions - Catholic priests have received the most media attention but the crimes have been widespread) who abused children, protected an abuser, or moved an abuser to a different parish should be in jail. All of them.

I had never heard of Pope Leo before today. I asked Gemini about this and here's the answer:

Past Allegations: Questions were raised about his handling of abuse allegations in his former Diocese of Chiclayo, where two priests were accused of molesting young girls. Some accusers claimed he failed to properly investigate and covered up for the accused, but the diocese denies this, stating he followed proper procedures. He reportedly opened an initial canonical investigation and encouraged the victims to go to civil authorities.

Earlier Case: During his time as provincial of the Augustinian Province of Chicago (1999-2001), a priest convicted of sexual abuse of minors was allowed to stay at an Augustinian priory near an elementary school. Supporters say Prevost never authorized that situation, the priest was not an Augustinian, and it occurred before the Dallas Charter.[/quote]

Oh so the church says it was all fine. Good enough for me! /s. Catholics allowed them to abuse their children and cover it up. There’s no moral standing at all. That there are no Cardinals without the stain should be unacceptable. Not only did they cover it up but they use YOUR money to keep them hidden and in comfort in their retirement. They actively destroyed lives, but like “oh he supports migrants or LGBT ppl”! The cognitive dissonance must be deafening. [/quote]
