Ye have wearied the LORD with your words.
Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him?
When ye say,
Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD,
and he delighteth in them;

"Just hours after Pope Francis condemned the “repugnant crimes” of sexual abuse by clergy during his two-day trip to Ireland, news broke in the United States that a former papal ambassador to the country is accusing Pope Francis of having known about abuse allegations against former Cardinal
Vigano made the claims in a lengthy statement that concludes with a call for Francis' resignation: "In this extremely dramatic moment for the universal Church, he must acknowledge his mistakes and, in keeping with the proclaimed principle of zero tolerance, Pope Francis must be the first to set a good example to Cardinals and Bishops who covered up McCarrick's abuses and resign along with all of them," he writes.

Vigano writes the pope did not respond to the statement, and McCarrick continued in his role as a public figure for the church." CBS/CRUX
