Why doesn't this guy get angrier about the fact that the actual USCCB has literally gone "lol" at dioceses getting swamped with sexual abuse cases of minors and refusing to take any responsibility in these cases instead letting the dioceses in states go bankrupt diocese by diocese as they quite literally rip the floorboards/wiring out by selling off churches and putting likely hundreds of thousands on unemployment?
Not that I think the actual papal state and USCCB would take responsibility, but it's been painfully obvious to anyone from the outside observing that they have a long history of covering up sexual abuses from the top-down. But taking responsibility on their side could mean they could actually pay out the 200 million+ dollar lawsuits in just one diocese with all the sheer fucking money that's there. Instead, they can shift out all the assets to Rome, claim bankruptcy and sell off the real-estate/diocese for money to pay off the victims.
Shit is a clown-show.
A guy who publicly says "teen pregnancy is not a problem, the problem is actually unwed pregnancy" probably doesn't, in his heart of hearts, care very much about child abuse.
Probably not; just a blatant hypocrisy, though, not that it matters to them.
Also, the "most progressive" pope had interesting opinions on gay people:
CW: Homophobia
“I said, ‘Yes, there is an air of removedry. It’s true, there is in the Vatican. But look, monsignor, today it is an honorific for our culture. Let us be careful, not to despise people with homosexual tendencies but to accompany them, there are so many good people.
“‘Accompany them, help them. Send them to psychologists. Please, however, be careful about accepting them in the seminary.
I am thoroughly convinced that Benedict's resignation that led to Francis's election was damage control against the vatileaks scandal and the piling up of sexual abuse accusations. The catholic church is an enemy of the people.
tbf, that is very progressive for an institution whose previous position on gays was "they are an abomination against god and must surely go to hell"
