"Pope Francis makes strange apology to Chilean bishops for ‘grave errors’ in sex abuse case"

On his outgoing flight from Chile, Francis again spoke on the case and told the media, “You, in all good will, tell me that there are victims, but I haven’t seen any, because they haven’t come forward.”

However, the Associated Press reported in February that Cardinal Sean O’Malley, Archbishop of Boston and president of the Vatican’s Commission for the Protection of Minors, had already received from several members of the same commission a signed testimony by a victim on Barros’ witnessing of the sexual abuse, and that O’Malley had told them he had delivered it to Pope Francis personally.

There were victims of Boston archdiocese abusers (during the Bernard Cardinal Law era) who stated that when they were finally allowed to explain to Cardinal Law or others in the archdiocese what had happened and by whom they had been abused, the Cardinal listened to their story with seeming interest, and when they were done, pronounced the blessing given at the end of holy Confession, and told them “I’ve just heard your confession, and everything you’ve told me is now covered by the confessional vow of silence.”

What’s the penalty for “grave errors” for Comrade Pope? 60 lashes? No fruit with his oatmeal? No young boys for a month?

I now ask for the forgiveness of all of those whom I offended...

Heathen.

You'd best to get on your knees and ask God to forgive you...no mere mortal can forgive all the heresy and destruction you've wrought.

Because of you, Frankie...I am no longer Catholic.

Nor will I entertain the possibility of returning to the Church...at least as long as you are a part of it.

Was Bergoglio drunk at the time?

This Pope has his fingers in his ears...saying: "na, na, na, na...I can't hear you!"

I'm fed up with the perversions and the lying and the coverups and the blatant attempts to destroy the Church by these people.
