Pope Francis calls for action on clerical sex abuse

[url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22043312]Linky[/url] [quote]He told Bishop Gerhard Mueller, head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith - the Vatican watchdog that deals with sex abuse cases - to ensure that perpetrators were punished. It was the Argentine Pope's first public statement on clerical sex abuse. A leading sex abuse survivors' group has responded with scepticism, saying "actions speak louder than words". When first elected, Benedict XVI promised to rid his Church of the "filth" of clerical sex abuse, but critics accused him of covering up abuse in the past and failing to protect children from paedophile priests. Victims of sex abuse by clergy had called for a strong response from the new pontiff to the crisis that has rocked the Church.[/quote]

  • Here's what he has to do for me to take this seriously: 1. Turn over all the Vatican's evidence regarding these cases to local authorities. 2. Demand all those who abused or were complicit in abuse (including Ratzinger) to turn themselves in 3. Give massive payouts to the survivors and their families
