Catholic Church Removes Priest for Blaming Kids for Pedophilia

And perhaps if they find a priest… he might succumb. The Trento archdioceses said in a statement it had removed the Rev. Gino Flaim from all pastoral work and forbidden him from preaching after an interview was aired on the La7 private network Tuesday evening. During the meeting, the pontiff expressed his “deep regret” that a few bishops covered up abuse by priests, vowing to hold clergy accountable if they either abused children or protected pedophiles.
75-year-old Don Gino Flaim, a Catholic priest from Trento, Italy, has been dismissed following a live TV interview in which he blamed children for the actions of pedophiles. “Paedophilia is a sin and like all sins must be accepted”, Flaim said, adding that he “did not have direct experience” of it. “I don’t know. I, pedophilia I can understand”.
