Which documents and which canon lawyers?
The Congregation for Clergy dealt with abuse cases prior to Benedict taking control in 2001.
Bishop Geoffrey Robinson what an orthodox Catholic!
“John Paul, his longtime superior, often dismissed allegations of pedophilia by priests” - According to whom? Evidence?
“But the future pope, it is now clear, was also part of a culture of nonresponsibility, denial, legalistic foot-dragging and outright obstruction.” - According to whom? Evidence? How is it clear?
“But today the abuse crisis is still raging in the Catholic heartland of Europe:” Still raging or are these cases from ages ago?
“civil investigators in Belgium last week took the rare step of raiding church headquarters and the home of a former archbishop.” - And drilling into tombs of the dead!
“The Vatican under Benedict is still responding to abuse by priests at its own pace,” - Says who? Evidence?
“and it is being besieged by an outside world that wants it to move faster and more decisively.” And why is the outside world ignoring abuse everywhere else. 2003 saw two reports released. One said 90,000 proven cases in one year in the USA. Another said 11,000 allegations against USA Priests over more than half a century. That’s about 8 times as many and in one year. Now what is Mr Obama doing? Is he still responding to abuse at its own pace?
“Vatican officials, who declined to answer detailed questions related to Benedict’s history,” Declined to whom? The biased LMS media who seemingly ignore child abuse everywhere except a minority of Priests from years ago.
“Benedict has not yet instituted a universal set of rules.” Aren’t they already in place?
“A new Code of Canon Law issued in 1983 only muddied things further” - according to whom? How so?
And the article goes on and on…
