There is a bishop that is saying for a while…..
The Pennsylvania’s attorney general is saying that he has information that backs up the bishop’s comment…..
The church has admitted they have up to 1,000 sexual abuse cases….
In the latest scathing allegation against the Catholic church Pennsylvania’s attorney general said the Vatican knew about a cover-up involving sex abuse allegations against priests.
“I can’t specifically speak to Pope Francis,” Attorney General Josh Shapiro told NBC’s “Today” show Tuesday. But “we have evidence that the Vatican had knowledge of the cover-up.”
Shapiro did not specify what evidence he has that would suggest the Vatican knew of a cover-up.
Vatican spokesman Greg Burke told CNN Tuesday that the Vatican would need to learn more details about the evidence before commenting.
Two weeks ago, Shapiro announced the release of a grand jury’s report saying hundreds of “predator priests” had abused children in six Pennsylvania dioceses in the past seven decades.
The 23 grand jurors met for two years and “unearthed over 301 predator priests, more than a thousand victims — children in Pennsylvania,” Shapiro told “Today.”
“They found that there was not only widespread sexual abuse, rape of children, but they found that there was a systematic cover-up that went all the way to the Vatican.”…..
How long did they know?
A very long time.
The church is undergoing a VERY rough time on several fronts..
The sexual abuse problems have been on going for years…..
I posted here about financial issues also
I’m glad they are going through a rough time.
They deserve to.
The Catholic Church,like most large churches and denominations, is a huge business and,in my view, should be treated as such.
When businesses screw up they suffer for it.
