PRESSURE BUILDS ON POPE…

Thousands of Catholic Women Sign Letter Pleading with Pope to Break Silence on Sex Scandal

https://pjmedia.com/faith/thousands-of-catholic-women-sign-letter-pleading-with-pope-to-break-silence-on-sex-scandal/

In a stunning and beautiful letter, thousands of Catholic women are pleading with Pope Francis to break his silence on the charges leveled by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, who alleged that the pope knew of Cardinal McCarrick's abuses and predatory nature, but elevated him instead of sanctioning him or turning him over to authorities. The letter, originally signed by 53 seminarians, professors, consecrated women, theologians, missionaries, and mothers of the Church, implores: Our hearts are broken, our faith tested, by the escalating crisis engulfing our beloved Church. We are angry, betrayed and disillusioned. The pain and suffering of the victims never ends, as each news cycle brings more horrific revelations of sexual abuse, sexual misconduct, cover-ups, and deceit—even at the Church’s highest levels.

The letter goes on to state very clearly the most pressing matter for most Catholics right now: Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò’s recent statement impels us to reach out to you directly for answers. His testimony accuses you, Holy Father, and highly placed cardinals of turning a blind eye to former Cardinal McCarrick’s egregious behavior, and promoting this predator as a global spokesman and spiritual leader. Is this true?

Pope Francis refused to comment on Viganò's charge, saying only, “I read the statement this morning, and I must tell you sincerely that, I must say this, to you and all those who are interested: Read the statement carefully and make your own judgment. I will not say a single word on this.”

No wonder he was so tolerant of homos, tbh. I don't get why people are so surprised.

The original accusation is probably Vigano just being salty at the pope being liberal and winnie the pooh him over.

However the fact that there's so much resistance to Pope francis' papacy is alarming

You'd be surprised how trusting people are of authority. Not that that's necessarily bad, a wholly chaotic Humanity would be a Satanic one in constant rebellion against God. But trust in bad leaders, misplaced trust in general. It's hardly even a Christian thing, let alone something specifically Catholic. John Edwards in the United States was a gigantic star of the Democratic Party years ago, but during his big presidential run he was hit with a sex scandal. While other politicians could weather something like that at that point (after all this was post-Clinton), he could not since (if I remember correctly) his wife was gravely ill when it happened. Immediately his supporters abandoned him, to choruses of "I TRUSTED YOU" and tears and teeth-clenching. None of them ever entertained the possibility he was not genuine. They only listened to what they told him, he said what they wanted to hear and as long as nothing too horrible blotted it out, that was all that was needed.

There's a lot more people like that out there, than there are people who naturally distrust and doubt the nature of the world.
