Philippines President Duterte Calls Out Vatican For Pedophilia & Gold Hoarding
There's nothing in the article or its sources quoting Duterte criticizing the Vatican for pedophilia. The article alleges that he said the following, probably referencing Leo X (1475 – 1521):
Catholicism is a sordid religion. It is about time to show you its history. Pope Leo was sired and even had sex with his child.
Then they even admit that they are reading into Duterte's statement:
While the pedophilia statement could be argued, what can’t be argued is that fact that the Vatican has paid out over $4 billion dollars to victims of sexual abuse by priests and clergy of the Vatican, according to the National Catholic Reporter.
“Catholic is a sordid religion. It is about time to show you its history. There were popes who sired a child and even had sex with his child, that was Pope Leo,” the President claimed.
This is why people need to read sources to verify that the claims being made are supported by the evidence. It's rubbish like this that justifies the fake news narrative.
bro... I have no idea why you are parsing the statement. THE ENTIRE WORLD KNOWS THE VATICAN IS A CHILD RAPE FACTORY and it's paid out over $4 BILLION in hush money.
Yes, and yet Pope Francis is making repeated public calls to end child abuse in the church, and promising swift action against anybody who covers it up. Do you think Francis is being two-faced with these proclamations?
If you were watching, this was uncovered years ago, long before pizzagate. The previous popes said not much about it. When Francis came in, he said things have to change. Believe him or don't, but his speech is more favorable.

Same way a criminal tells others not to commit crime? It's so easy to do. What the pope says means nothing.

What's he supposed to say now that it's all been uncovered?
