Pope Francis reassures the faithful: Only 2 percent of Catholic clergy are pedophiles

[whatthehey]

69. doing something?

What was that exactly? Why are not 2% of priests defrocked today? Turned over to law enforcement with open access to all files? Bishops who moved them at the very least reprimanded severely, and also defrocked and turned over to the cops if serial offenders or knowingly complicit?

That would be doing something, and only seems extreme by comparison to what he's actually doing. It is what would be demanded, under force of law, of any other international conglomerate that knew 2% of its staff were buggering kids. What would be morally expected after that is a full overhaul of hiring practices, internal policies, required training for every single person, a cost-free anonymous complaint line with real enforcement teeth behind it in the organization and a very very strict internal process audit.

ANY company admitting this kind of penetration into their ranks of known child molestors protected by superiors would do AT LEAST that, and probably follow up with large donations to associated causes, nolo contendere legal stance against abuse claims, and vigorous internal housecleaning if they wanted to keep a single customer.

What's Pope Photo-Op done to keep the tithes rolling in? Fuck all, because he knows the laity, called sheep for an astonishingly good reason, will continue to bankroll his NAMBLA clubs anyway.
