Pope Accuses Clergy Sex Abuse Victims Of Slander Christanon 01/19/18 (Fri) 18:29:37 77a983 No.591290

>Chilean sex abuse victims of a pedophile priest were stunned Thursday when Pope Francis accused them of slander.

>The pope’s visit to Chile was supposed to begin a healing process between the Catholic Church and the victims of Rev. Fernando Karadima. Instead, Francis accused the victims of slandering a bishop they claimed had protected the priest, The Associated Press reported.

>“The day someone brings me proof against Bishop Barros, then I will talk,” Francis told ADN radio before celebrating mass near the Chilean city of Iquique. “But there is not one single piece of evidence. It is all slander. Is that clear?”

>The church is losing its influence in the nation, Reuters reported. A new poll by Santiago-based think tank Latinobarometro showed that the number of Chileans calling themselves Catholics fell from 74 percent in 1995 to 45 percent last year.

And what's wrong with that ? If you accuse someone you deliver proofs, otherwise you're a fag. I know that's hard to grasp for people that think the jews hold them down and want to genocide tha huwite kangz or that Jesuits are satanists, but bear with me here - because it's bullshit.

What sort of proof is admissible in a pedophile sex abuse case?

I mean, he's not wrong.

If you look into it, there's so many cases that turn out to be false accusations. Some priests battle these cases in courts for years before being cleared of any charges.

Why? It's an easy payout when you accuse a priest.

Bergoglio isn’t talking about the priest accused. The priest accused was found guilty years ago. Bishop Barros was accused of protecting the priest, and Bergoglio says that that is slander. Given that victims told the bishop, and the priests guilt is an established fact, the least we can say the bishop did is not investigate properly. The strongest accusation would be that he knew and didn’t do anything. Basically, we know he did something wrong, we just need to know if it was something big or something small.

Which doesn't render what the Pope said invalid. If you have something even remotely substantial, then there will not and cannot be any objection, but as long as people throw a tantrum without evidence, they should pray a little more.

Yes it does. The bishop was informed about a pedophile priest. He did nothing, but the law found the priest guilty.

Kek throw a tantrum. Terrible. It may be one thing that that there is not sufficient proof to convict this priest, but isn’t it a little premature to say it is slander?
