Colorful, but not quite true.

Jesus wasn't driven out of Nazareth by "wild dogs," he was driven out by the congregation after he had preached in the synagogue at Nazareth.

What Bergoglio said was that these people were "like" a pack of wild dogs, and that the same was true of his awn critics, e.g. Archbishop Vigano.

So he wasn't calling children who had been abused "wild dogs," he was calling Abp Vigano and his allies "wild dogs."

I am not saying this to justify Bergoglio, who is not justified in either case. But I just wish the writer, Jay Greenberg, would get the story straight. It wouldn't have been that hard to tell this story accurately.
