This pope, this marxist pope, this post-modernist pope, this cultural-relativist pope, this Islam-appeasing pope, this Ireland-visiting pope, this pope, this self righteous Pope, Francis, knew all along about the abuse of young children by his own people. And he did nothing.
So he's also the do-nothing pope. The nah, nah papa.
And now he has the gall to talk, in Spanish, to the Irish, and ask for forgiveness?! no. No. NO! it won't do.
Meanwhile his minions tell us "don't worry, if there are any more abusers, we won't let them practice". Huh?
How about prison, father?
How about public shaming and long prison time?
That's what we do to employees of any other organisation found to be brutalising children in their charge.
Nothing will change — because human sexuality can't change — unless and until they allow priests to marry. Suppressing sex, telling them they're married to the church, to god, to Jesus, whatever, is not going to cut it.
Why no groundswell of outrage at the Pope's knowledge of the widespread abuse, his do-nothing on the abuse of young catholic children?
Why no follow-up calls for his resignation? Where are the catholics with honour and ethics?
Note to self: track down Sam Harris' essay on abuse in the catholic church which he wrote about five years ago and referenced in his latest podcast.

Not sure how long it's going to be credible to simply ignore it. Though on BBC just now they had some of his apologists, smearing the contents of the letter. Let's see...
