This Pope is way more merciful and tolerant than Jesus Christ who said that pedophiles should have a millstone tied around their neck and cast into the sea.
I also like "the message" translation of Matthew 18:6
"But if you give them a hard time, bullying or taking advantage of their simple trust, you’ll soon wish you hadn’t. You’d be better off dropped in the middle of the lake with a millstone around your neck. Doom to the world for giving these God-believing children a hard time! Hard times are inevitable, but you don’t have to make it worse—and it’s doomsday to you if you do."
Mark 9:42 "If anyone causes one of these little ones--those who believe in me--to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea."

Chapter and verse? Because I've read the bible a couple dozen times and I don't recall that.

Thank you. That's a pretty loose interpretation, but at least you're not blowing wind.
