Pope Francis sends a letter of support to priests worldwide 'blamed for crimes they did not commit' amid Catholic church sex abuse scandal

Pope Francis has sent a new letter to priests worldwide offering encouragement in light of the global sex abuse scandal that has shaken the Roman Catholic Church.

Defies belief. Roman Catholic religion has permitted its priests and institutions to perpetrate sexual abuse, sodomy and paedophilia on boys, girls and young men since its inception 1800 years ago - without consequences. Leaving in its wake broken and devasted lives.

He should atone for his sins and the sins of the clergy - both men & women - who have abused children for centuries. He should dissolve the church, sell off the assets and give the proceeds to the poor.

Oh well thats alright then!!!! Just carry on abusing

😡

discusting church top bottom

Blame doesn't means that they are guilty...

nickleus At least the Catholics have a centralised authority which is beginning to act. Rabbis, imams, Baptist ministers and Buddhist monks have a much better chance of getting away with child abuse. A fact not much talked about -why not?

Nonce master general

Does he really mean, for crimes 'NOT PROVEN' that they may or may not have committed?

antichrist

Wasnt it Ratzinger who sentenced those guilty of the crimes to 'reflection and perpetual prayer.' Sentenced !!!!!!!

The pope praises peados and sex offenders, who just happen to be priests....... it’s not their fault, it was the devil made them do it.....ffs...

So basically he is supporting the priests? So he's supporting abuse? The Catholic religion and the Vatican are pure filth. This is sickening.he should be condemning those priests.vile.

Peado Sodomites they will be judged

The Pope should send a letter to the millions of children abused by priests. Millions is a conservative estimate.

Any messages to the victims of such crimes?
