Title: Will Pope Francis ever be held accountable?
Post by: WarmPotato on June 28, 2020, 11:13:16 pm
Here are the fundamental facts of the story:
1) Cardinal Theodore McCarrick sexually assaulted multiple children.
2) The previous Pope, Benedict, placed sanctions on McCarrick limiting his movement and activities.
3) Disregarding this, Pope Francis but McCarrick back into the general populace.
4) This was all brought to light by former Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano - in 2018. A year later in 2019, Theodore McCarrick the pedophile, was dismissed from the clergy.

Keep in mind that Pope Francis could have dismissed McCarrick in the past but chose not to. And in February of 2018 following the allegations coming out, he called the victims "wild dogs" who worked for "The Great Accuser" (Satan), and said the victims acted in bad faith "without good will", calling for his fellow catholics to "silence" to avoid "scandalizing the bishops".

Smokin,
He might be tolerable as an Argentine Communist, if at least he was a Roman Catholic!!!

Weird. WRT, the 4-point summary in the OP, Pope Francis' acceptance of McCarrick's resignation from being a Cardinal in late July, 2018 didn't happen? :sarc: And Pope Francis didn't in late July, 2018 order McCarrick to confine himself to a house Francis would select until McCarrick's case was adjudicated? :sarc: IF the video omitted those facts then the video creator was less than honest.

I'm neither a Catholic nor a Francis supporter, but Francis doesn't seem to have handled McCarrick's case worse than did Benedict (under whom McCarrick remained a Cardinal).

Silly Question.

We will all be held accountable. Some of us will be forgiven.
