More Sex Abuse Scandals Rocking The Vatican

[bakebiscotti]

There's one in Ireland brewing, and one in Germany. 

The thing that puzzles me so much is why the heck these Bishops and Cardinals including The Pope, not deal with these.  All these new allegations have me wondering their intent.  And more importantly, what the hell are they thinking? 

These abuse cases that keep coming up, are making my church look bad.  It looks like they are willing and able to keep these things under wraps, until they absolutely have to deal with them.  It's looking bad.

Now, I know the Vatican swept in merely hours after the German situation to speak out, when they usually take their sweet time with these things.

I am a Catholic, nothing will keep me from my faith.  My faith has nothing to do with these men who are being dishonest.  Though it does give one a moment to pause.

In some of these German ones there is talk of the Pope and what he knew and when

German bishop surprised at number of abuse cases

The Irish story

They know whats going on , especially the pope I think he is very well informed BUT IMO I think they think a good talkin to is what will change these men into doin wright instead of wrong. When in reality it is a much more serious problem than that.

 I always wonder why the POLICE aren't doing anything??    How does being in the church change something from ILLEGAL to 'behaving badly'??

Its the "Vatican" I'm sure they have their own investigations and such ,lol, but I do totally agree with you and cannot nor will I ever fully understand either.
