I’m a Catholic and appalled at the Church’s role in this. It has been going on for decades and decades. There is simply no excuse!
Even when I was a child going to Catholic girl’s schools, the nuns talked about how powerful Ratzinger was [I’m 60 now so it was a long time ago]. He is complicit.
The last time I said this on FR, my post was pulled. So be it.
I wish more Catholics would recognize it.
What comes across is that way too many Catholics are making excuses for those involved, for those who should have stopped it, and for those who have not done anything about it for decades.
It should have been nipped in the bud as soon as it was recognized. Not addressing it expediently only gives credence to those who think that the Catholic Church has something to hide.
