that sickening shit like this gets brought to light continually.

Guess I was just showing my cynicism above--sorry. The tragic reality that such accounts seem to create barely a ripple in the media really depresses me. How many instances of child abuse by the RCC can be disregarded in exchange for stories of Frank reassuring a little kid that his dead dog is in doggie heaven, or of meeting with a transgender individual who is assuredly bound for hell?

As for the Vatican power structure generally, they're sick, evil fucks, the lot of them.
