MAZINGERZMBA ⭐️⭐️⭐️ How magnanimous of the Pope. I hope every single abuse victim sues the Catholic Church for millions. I’m speaking as a survivor of molestation.

PostBaron 2/2 when WashArchdiocese hired a Barry Coburn (ruthless/unethical in using legal tactics to obstruct/delay/deny justice for sexual assaults by th PentagonGroper MatchDotcomMauler ) to represent McCarrick, th message is that The Church still sides with The Guilty.

PostBaron WashArchdiocese BishopRJMalone etc need to STOP misallocating parishioner funds for high-priced lawyers (like Barry Coburn JonesDay) to run up unlimited billable hours to use every legal tactic to further obstruct/delay/deny justice and torment victims further. 1/

soychicka And yet he's doing nothing about the Illinois archdiocese hiding a cleric who shielded hundreds of molesters.

He wants them to volunteer to turn self n. Cuz Pope wont

BeauWTAE So he’s saying they are not going to do what they have been doing for years? Shielding and abiding pedophilia. Why won’t the church turn over all documentation and clergy?

ebruenig Thomas à Becket loses. Henry II wins.

I really don't believe Pontifex on this one. Every week, there's another story about priest abusing children and being protected by the church. Believing this will change now is just being naive.

His Holiness is just another person who can’t decide what side of history to put his foot down on, you would think the highest servant to of god would do more than just ask pedophiles to leave his church. He needs to man up and oust them by name and crimes

soychicka He says 'human' justice. Implying that God has no problem with it. What a crock of shit!

So rapey! Pope must be sweating like a priest at a playground!

If the Church was serious about this issue, it would be removing the perpetrators in ACTIVE CASES vs. identifying 'the dozens of perpetrators' that are (ahem) already prosecuted or dead.

It's about time... it's way past time actually. Will the bishops follow the pope's instructions?

Why is this even a thing? Why should they be allowed to be shielded in the first place

That is good &new&thanks for not supporting & covering up anymore for these religious pedefiles &criminals that use their position at churches to sexually assault rape and brutalized innocent childeren & their parents who trusted the Vatican& its representatives for a long time

It’s about time!

The Vatican punting again... release the church records on these priests. The Vatican knows who they are.

Corruption has a disguise everyone knows the truth, but the truth is what is hidden. Lies are adorned and shared. U2ME2 VictimizationIsALifeSentence It is so devastating that the Catholic church has known about the sexual abuse and did NOTHING. GotLives2Save

Maybe Pontifex should do that. Omg.

So why confessional sacred don’t get I think double standards Peter_Fox59 Kate_McClymont

Sorry Francis, self policing doesn’t work.

Read the latest report from PA. There were priests who turned themselves into the church and the church relocated them!

Throw them out of the order.

ebruenig looks like you got what you wanted

They all are Devils that worship Lucifer. Facts. Plus our country is ran by Devils and if we dont rise up we can kiss our nice n tight or fat and wide axx goodbye.

Yeah. That's going to work. Pity. For a moment there people thought he would take some action. But no. Pipe dream.

'won't shield them' ANYMORE!!!!!!!

pedophiles !

Do something about it then. Release all internal church documents/reports.
