A friend is listening to the opening press conference right now and his helpfully sending me some little paraphrases, like kitty treats, to get us all interested.
At least they’re being up front about the intention to avoid actually addressing anything.

Ed Pentin (at 1:12:18):
“It was often said during the Synod on youth that abuse of seminarians vulnerable adults as it was put, would be addressed at this meeting. partly because of the McCarrick scandal. When this meeting was initially announced, it was to be about the protection of minors and vulnerable adults but now it seems to be about protection of minors only. I just want to know will this meeting include abuse of vulnerable adults, seminarians in particular.”
Diane Montagna (at 1:27:22)
“Recently, Cardinal Mueller … noted that more than 80% of the victims of these sexual offenders are teenagers of the male sex. Will the problem of homosexuality among the clergy be addressed as of this problem? Since it is obvious from the data that many of these acts committed against minors are homosexual acts.”
On the “hypothesis” that the culture of cover-up comes from priests and bishops being themselves involved in illicit sexual activity…
Cupich: “You were right in saying that it’s a hypothesis. And hypotheses have to be proven. And I think that is something that has to remain at that level, of hypothesis.”
… So, naturally the last thing we would want to do is investigate this question…

Therefore, will be engaged in active cover-up of homosexual predation on young men.
Is Jorge Bergoglio homosexual?
The Bible says unrepentant homosexuals are going to hell. Which includes most of the Catholic clergy at this point.
“When this meeting was initially announced, it was to be about the protection of minors...”
It’s actually about the protection of bishops.
It was remarked several centuries ago that the floor of Hell is paved with the skulls of bishops.
LOL. In contrast with the rhetorical Traditional pope question, “Is the Pope Catholic?” we have the rhetorical Novus Ordo pope question: “Is the pope homo?”
Sexual predation on young men is a HUGE issue for the future of the Church.
If you haven’t noticed, there is a worldwide shortage of priests. And who in his right mind wants to enter a seminary if he’s going to risk getting victimized?
Thank you for posting! That’s exactly what I heard this morning. They are not on target. What came first the pedophile a/k/a homosexual gay or the victim minor a/k/a male teenage boy?
Get the women (mothers of the gay seminarians and mothers of the teen or tween victims) — these women could sort out the problem in minutes of meeting all parties.
Bishops! Shame on you if you can’t get to the bottom of the issue. The laity isn’t stupid they know the problem and know who is to blame.
The order of business is: Bishops; gay homosexual Priests and Seminarians; the Victims and their settlement and then the rest of us (we’re still praying this gets resolved.) God be with you!
They’re ignoring the elephant in the room: homosexuals in the Catholic clergy.
“most” Catholic priests are engaging in homosexual acts?
I don’t buy it.
Please provide statistical proof.
As an almost 54-year-old Catholic, I don’t even buy the idea that “most” priests are of the homosexual orientation.
An unhealthy minority are but not “most”.
Don’t slander all the good straight priests who are faithful to their promise or vow of celibacy.
