does the pope know of the paedophilic abuse?
Current evidence seems to suggest the current pope knew of the
widespread child abuse in the catholic church but he covered it
up.
The vatican current stand is that the pope do not know . the
butler who has betrayed the pope has revealed some evidence.
if only a few victims spoke up, they will certainly be muffled.
but the whole scandal is too widespread for any spin doctor to
manage.
I would like to have a discussion on the following points:
1)the role of the catholic church in the child abuse scandal- is
the church a willing participant or is the church a victim
2) the role of the pope- a pope who is mislead or an active
agent in denial of the truth
3) the parishioners perception of the scandal
4) steps that can be taken to protect children from future
abuse
5)degree of acceptance of homosexuality / paedophilic tendencies
among catholic priest.
I welcome feedback from all domain of society.
