Press TV has interviewed Eli Joseph James, radio host and political commentator from Chicago, to discuss the covering up of child sexual abuse by priests in the Vatican.

Below is a rush transcript of the interview:

Press TV: Right now, we are seeing criticism of Pope Francis coming from different quarters that he hasn’t taken any concrete action to reverse the policies of the Vatican with regards to child sex abuse. Do you see it that way as well?

James: Yes Absolutely. Ever since Vatican II, which was held in 1963, the Vatican has taken a humanistic approach to Catholicism. It has abandoned Christian morality and has basically protected child molesters and homosexuals within the Catholic Church. The Pope refers to himself as the Vicar of Christ, which means the representative of Christ here on earth. There is no way that Jesus Christ would condone homosexuality for one, and pedophilia for another.

For example, in Romans chapter 1 in verses 26 and 27, the Bible clearly states that it is an abomination for women to use each other sexually and for men to use each other sexually and Paul even says in Romans chapter 1 that such people deserve death.

So why is the Catholic Church promoting anti-Christian morality and why is the Catholic Church promoting corrupts? This is unacceptable. Absolutely unacceptable.
