VATICAN CITY
Press TV (Iran)
[with video]
The Catholic Church has always had a long history of involvement in illegal activities such as child sex abuse, always covered up by the heads of the Church.
Press TV has conducted an interview with Dr. Randy Short, with the Dignity, Human Rights and Peace organization from Washington to further discuss the issue.
The video also offers opinions of two additional guests, the Vatican affairs analyst, Gerard O’Connell from Rome and also, Reverend Dr. Stephen Sizer from the capital city of Tehran. The following is a rough transcript of the interview.
Press TV: The Vatican’s own newspaper for one has ignored the story we have been seeing the Pope himself he has not commented on this in the public appearances that he has made up until now. Do you think that this is an appropriate way to handle the scandal?
Short: Well, for the personas that are in the employ of the Holy See, it would not make a lot of sense for you to do exposes on the persons that sign the cheques that you receive pay from.
