I am so tired of the whole “cool pope” thing with Francis. It’s 100% PR.

      He never was, it was all PR to deflect from the child molesting

          Slightly disingenuous, the new church law requires reporting sexual abuse to higher-ups, it doesn’t say “don’t go to the police”. It’s also a rule that only covers clergy and not average parishioners. Should it mandate reporting to the police? Absolutely, but at least it requires clergy to tell someone about abuse, which will hopefully spur them to also tell law enforcement.

            Wait wait wait…you mean to tell me they’re just NOW saying the clergy has to report abuse? I assumed it’s been something they’re ignoring or not enforcing, but it literally hasn’t been a rule…this whole time?

      He never was. He’s just a Pope John Paul II who hasn’t had a photoshoot with a brutal dictator yet.
