Pope Francis acknowledges 2,000-case backlog in sex abuse cases
Published May 14, 2017
 

ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE –  Pope Francis acknowledged Saturday that the Vatican has a 2,000-case backlog in processing clerical sex abuse cases and says criticism of the slow pace was justified. But he says more staff are being added and insists the Vatican is "on the right path."

Francis was making his first comments about the criticism leveled at the Vatican's handling of sex abuse cases by Marie Collins, an Irish abuse survivor who resigned from Francis' sex abuse advisory commission in March. Collins quit because of what she said was the "unacceptable" level of resistance within the Vatican to implementing the group's proposals to better care for victims and protect children from priests who rape and molest them.

Perhaps he should be more concerned about the board in his eye than the splinters in the eyes of people against unfettered "immigration" of muslims. :amen:

More staff are being added?  Gosh.... that's reassuring.

And as to that path....

Um...... where, exactly, does it lead to?

No quarter given to the enemy within...ever.
