Words cannot solve the crisis of clergy and nun sexual abuse of children and minors.
Only action can.
That’s why it’s disheartening, to say the least, to read Pope Francis speech about a “courageous” defense of children to protect them from abuse at the end of the Mass he celebrated on Sunday.
But words, it appears, are the extent of it.
Here’s a link to a news story:
Pope Francis, and Pope Francis alone, holds the power to remove Diocese of Kansas City- St. Joseph. MO Bishop Robert Finn and Archdiocese of Newark, NJ Archbishop John Myers and to remove them now, at this very moment, in the next minute, the next hour and all of today and tomorrow for as long as he occupies the papacy.
And not only these hierarchs but all the others who did not courageously defend children but actually put them and kept them in harm’s way by protecting their perpetrators and covering-up the rape and sodomy these children suffered by the priests and nuns that were and are part of these hierarchs’ responsibility as moral and spiritual leaders.
