Sex-Abuse Victims to Pope: Stop Begging for Forgiveness and Just Stop the Abuse

If I had written this article, then I'd have changed one word in the headline. I would have changed "pope" to "Catholic Church".

Pope Francis has a tough job. Frankly, I believe that he's as outraged with the church's failure to "walk the walk" as the victims and me and many others in the Catholic Church are.

There's no better example of the steaming pile of contradictions and hypocrisy that we live in than bishops who cover up child abuse by deviant priests. CLEARLY these bishops don't get it.

BTW, it's not only bishops who don't get it:

Good luck, Pope Francis. You've got your work cut out for you. But, bishops, who "talk the talk", but who don't "walk the walk", should have been relieved from their positions of authority and turned over to criminal prosecutors a LONG time ago. ... As for laity who don't get it... Good luck, Pope Francis!
