Wait until February? Something this SERIOUS can wait 5 months?....you mean postpone it while you stall and hope it blows over by then while little if anything comes from it...
But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
Genesis 13:13
"Pope Francis is summoning the presidents of every bishops
conference around the world for a February summit to discuss preventing clergy sex abuse and protecting children.
The Feb. 21-24 meeting at the Vatican is believed to be the first of its kind, and signals a realization at the highest levels of the church that clergy sex abuse is a global problem and not restricted to the Anglo-Saxon world, as many church leaders have long tried to insist.
Earlier this year, Francis faced what was then the worst crisis of his papacy when he repeatedly discredited victims of a notorious Chilean predator priest. He eventually admitted to “grave errors in judgment” and has taken steps to make amends, sanction guilty bishops and remake the Chilean episcopacy.
More recently, Francis’ papacy has been jolted by accusations from a retired Vatican ambassador that he rehabilitated a top American cardinal from sanctions imposed by Pope Benedict XVI for having molested and harassed adult seminarians." RNS
