What has the Pope failed to do? Well ...

How much time does he actually spend teaching the doctrine of Christ and leading by example in service to “the one”? Faith in Christ, Repentance from Sin, Baptism for Remission of Sin, Love of God and Love & Service to/for Fellow Beings? How much time has been spent by this Pope actually focusing on ridding the Church of those in its leadership who continue to violate the 10 Commandments and “harm these little ones”? Where is the figurative mill-stone around their necks vis-a-vis the Church?

Seems to spend his time being caught up in Leftist politics and Church politics, at least in the view from where I sit...

Failed to listen to God when he said homosexuality is an abomination.

First thing would be to stop covering up the crimes and moving the predatory pedophile priests to unsuspecting parishes.

What you have failed to do is admit you are as guilty as the rest of the group...when you do that, Pope Benedict can come back...oh and while you are at it, get rid of Tim Dolan: he is as guilty as you are!!!

Purge the evil among you, as Paul commands in Scripture.

'What have I failed to do?'

You failed to notice that most homosexuals are consumed by their own sexuality, and that many homosexuals are compulsively attracted to early post-pubescent boys, ages 10-15. You invited those homosexuals into your seminaries, where they could have sex with each other before they were given access to boys, provided by a trusting public. After the inevitable occurred, you did not publicly define the problem, admit that your policies were to blame, and implement new policies to prevent it from recurring.

If the Catholic Church destroyed documents relating to child sex abuse, then they should be forbidden from running schools.

So much for Bergoglio's call for transparency in the Church.

“Too often we have kept quiet, looked the other way, avoided conflicts,” the bishop said. “We have thereby squandered the trust placed in us – especially with regard to abuse within the area of responsibility of the Church, which is primarily our responsibility.”

“I read the statement this morning, and I must tell you sincerely that, I must say this, to you and all those who are interested: Read the statement carefully and make your own judgment,” he (Pope Francis) answered. “I will not say a single word on this.”

Pope: 'I will not say a single word' on Vigano's allegations of cover-up

From Matthew,
“A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.”

Unfortunately I think Francis understood the last line incorrectly.
