‘We showed no care for the little ones; we abandoned them’

Sex Crimes and the Vatican 

"...
it is wearying to have to constantly respond to such communications, to have to point out that they avoid making a simple, frank & truthful acknowledgement of the Vatican led cover up. Just tell the damn truth.

“If one member suffers, all suffer together with it” (1 Cor 12:26). These words of Saint Paul forcefully echo in my heart as I acknowledge once more the suffering endured by many minors due to sexual abuse, the abuse of power and the abuse of conscience perpetrated by a significant number of clerics and consecrated persons. Crimes that inflict deep wounds of pain and powerlessness, primarily among the victims, but also in their family members and in the larger community of believers and nonbelievers alike.
