No. I say... one step forward and two steps back... the Catholic Church
has to open her soul and heart.... then do as Jesus would have done...
if He were on this earth today... gather His wounded children in His
arms... and wash their pain and torment away... by doing this... Jesus,
as He has already told the world... about any one harming any of His
little ones... Jesus has never once put any child above the rest... as
this world has done... all children are equal in Jesus eyes...
I saw this so much as a child and I still see it done to children
today... until the pope starts to follow in Jesus footsteps... and with
Jesus bleeding children of yesterday in his heart and mind... will he
get it right... disregard the nuns, priest and bishops... because Jesus
has everyone of their names... He has the rope and stone for hurting His
little ones... and worst still for all those who covered up the rape
and abuse... everyone who harmed Jesus children... will never walk free
when they pass this life... Ann.
===========================
The essential problem that gave rise to decades of clergy sex abuse in
the Roman Catholic Church was that bishops, whose authority over their
domains is all but absolute, were too often complicit in enabling
pedophile priests, covering up their crimes, and looking the other way
as countless young victims were raped, molested, harassed and left
scarred for life. Now Pope Francis, grappling with successive waves of
scandals and revelations, has decreed elaborate new policies and
procedures designed to beat back a scourge that has partly defined his
papacy.
