As the newly elected pope, people will be watching how Leo handles concerns about sex abuse in the church.

How the Vatican responds to the petition, which has more than 60,000 signatures, could set the tone for Pope Leo's leadership style and his stance on episcopal accountability worldwide.

This shouldn’t even be an issue. A farmer has more intelligence than these idiots. You don’t leave predators with vulnerable people or expose them to them either. If we grasp that about animals why is it difficult to apply to humans?

Many of the bishops are very holy men, unfortunately, many have done immense evil and will be very severely punished by God.

Let me guess? Homosexual sex abuse? Bishops need to stop ordaining them, they’re nothing but trouble.

The greatest evil has been to let evil continue because admitting it could be seen as embarrassing to the institution.

And if they weren’t ordained in the first place, the evil would stop.

Well typically people dont advertise that they are abusers. The moral test for the institution comes when they begin to know.

True. They are master manipulators.

The other half of my post is true too, and actually more important.

Ok. Never stated otherwise.

I don't think that heterosexual abuse is any better.

Never said otherwise. Abuse is abuse.

 

[Desk trauma]

Never said otherwise. Abuse is abuse.

Ban heterosexual priests too.

 

[RileyG]

Ban heterosexual priests too.

No. They’re normal. Good grief.

It's called grooming. No, not the loaded, twisted, and corrupted word used by some on the political right. Perpetrators groom not only victims but entire communities. That they groom a victim is obvious. Perpetrators groom communities to hide their disgusting crimes, to create a 'safe place' to run to when accused.

 

[Desk trauma]

No. They’re normal. Good grief.

Heterosexual abuse happens yet heterosexual can still get in. They’re normal.

Homosexual abuse happens ban them all.

The point was a vast majority of the abuse happened by homosexual priests. They should not be ordained. Period.

Also, there is screenings, psychological testing, background checks for the seminary. It’s a very robust process.

Don’t ordain the heterosexual ones just to be safe.

Yet here we are.

Circular logic

Only men can be ordained, and they should be heterosexual.

 

[Desk trauma]

Circular logic

How so?

Only men can be ordained, and they should be heterosexual.

Nah they abuse too, best not allow them in to be safe.
