Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on an editorial in the Washington Post July 2:
In yet another attack on Pope Francis for his handling of sexually abusive clergy, the Post editors state that the Holy Father’s “zero tolerance” policy toward such abuse is “not a priority for him.”
Their evidence? Chiefly, that two cardinals appointed by Pope Francis to the Vatican’s nine-member Council of Cardinals—Cardinal George Pell of Australia and Cardinal Javier Errázuriz of Chile—were “alleged” to have “turned a blind eye” toward priests accused of abuse in their jurisdictions.
