Summit on global sexual abuse in the church Moral Theology
its going to be an eye opener if Pell is found guilty. The conviction of the Australian Adelaide Archbishop in historic cover ups has paved the secular road in touching what was thought once, untouchable. Then if we have a cardinal found guilty…I wonder if his trial will be done by Feb. Its yet to start though and is on allegations of abuse. But he is also being accused, (but not charged ) with coverups. But then he did so much to clean out seminaries here from all the bad seed that was also…

i started a thread on this
 
I missed it. 😝 I did check as I figured someone would have done so already. I just didn’t check hard enough. 😊

Reading recounted his experience to me last week, after we were connected by another former seminarian from Immaculate Conception, Father Desmond Rossi, who says McCarrick inappropriately touched him as well. McCarrick stands accused of sexual abuse and harassment by several former seminarians, two of whom have received settlements from the church, and others, including Reading, who are telling their stories publicly for the first time. Rossi, like Reading, recalled a culture of fear and avoidance surrounding McCarrick that forced the seminarians and young priests to choose between their vocations and their safety. McCarrick has not commented on the allegations by the seminarians; representatives for McCarrick declined to comment on this article.

i do that all the time too.

I wonder what today will bring with the vatican statement
 
Glad they clarified the bit about vulnerable adults. I consider this meeting of bishops a very good thing Hopefully they will shortly launch an investigation into the McCarrick affair.
 
Way to soon to say this. Until it is determined how such an investigation would work, it’s understandable it hasn’t been mentioned. If the Holy Father had said no, then you could possibly expect that to be in DiNardo’s statement, since everyone knows he requested it.
As it is, pray for our pope, actions are starting. He will be fighting the enemy each step of the way.
