Pope Francis has not covered up anything and Cannon Law is being reviewed as we speak to make it easier to remove and prosecute abusive priest.
The days of denial are over and this Pope is taking big steps to make effective changes.
You would do yourself good to listen to this man he is truly a holy and compassionate Pope.

a reply to: EryiedesThe problem with Canon law as it now stands isn't that it protects abusers as much as it does not have statutes that allow you to deal with it appropriately. In other words it is currently weak and needs some serious teeth and that is happening. You need to understand Canon Law goes back 2000 years and the thought that priest would abuse children was unfathomable (which it damn well should be but unfortunately is not).
Pope Francis would 100% agree with you that until that nothing short of 0% incidents is acceptable and he is committed to that goal. There are priest and bishops that have removed from their post already and some have resigned because they didn't want to be caught up in the new scrutiny. It is a very different Vatican and is moving incredibly fast compared to precedent of the past.
You are judging a man you more than likely have never heard speak in any format and you have preconceived notions on the Church as a whole and have absolutely no interest in fair evaluation. In others words it is either biased or hate that motivates you and fairness is not on the agenda.
No where in my post did I make an excuse and neither is the Church it is admitting everything, asking for forgiveness and making the necessary changes that it can as quickly as it can.

What does the Holy Spirit command us to do in the Bible when there are those present in the congregations that do such things?
Hiding behind "canon law" or lack there of is an excuse.
OK then maybe we should call Luke Skywalker and he can use the force to defeat the Pope because if we are going to go off this deep an end let's just plunge all the way into fantasy land. I'd be embarrassed to post that crap.

You don't even really know what these people are being accused of never mind what they are actually up to do you? How can you defend an institution such as the Vatican yet fail to have ever heard or their involvement regarding the ninth circle satanic child sacrifice?

Like I already advised you really should research the people you seem to hold in such high esteem.

That's because you cannot entertain the notion that these people could possibly do the things described. That's ok its called conditioning. I mean who would ever think a Priest or anyone else of the cloth who you hold with such high regard could possibly commit such acts of depravity. Believe whatever you wish the mass graves in Ireland speak for themselves as do the witness testimonies.
I see you seem have skipped the question "How can you defend an institution such as the Vatican yet fail to have ever heard or their involvement regarding the ninth circle satanic child sacrifice?", so I ask again?

Try that link, that's CNN kosher enough for you? Probably not!
That whole story has been exposed as grossly exaggerated and quite frankly was protestant propaganda against the Catholic Church in Ireland which is nothing new>

Read my link the children were accountant for and most of them died of common disease that were running rampant through the entire country.

That would be 796 incidents and all tucked up neatly in a mass grave with no record of the poor wee tots ever having existed. An isolated incident makes perfect sense considering who knows what really happened to the poor wee souls. It's isolated for a reason if you ask me. Truth be told the place was probably never meant to be found!
Fishing is a great sport when practiced CORRECTLY.

If there are ghosts that home probably looked like the Houses of the Holy cover at night from the spirits seeking vengeance for the evil that was done to them at that place.
If I remember rightly some mothers were told they had miscarried when in fact they hadn't & then the babies were left to starve.
I don't see this as a Catholic specific issue as Catholics were global & this is an isolated incident.
