If you were responsible for handling the case of a priest who you knew had abused, raped and molested up to 200 deaf children for decades, would you not believe it was your business to resolve it swiftly? Would you be concerned, as the documents from the case reveal he was, about the risk of “increasing scandal” and the “need for secrecy”? Would you encourage the archbishop to drop the trial in view of the priest’s ailing health and imminent death?
The Pope is channeling his inner Nixon. Anyone else would be in a police station answering questions.
Just goes to show how uncaring the Catholic Church is with priests raping young children. Add priests raping nuns to the story, too. We know that happens. The unblinking second nature to just hide it and let it continue speaks volumes of the history of these abuses within the church.
