Pope Francis calls those who talk about pizzagate 'shit eaters': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gEqEutwLmU https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1514802

The real reason Pope Francis is lenient on pedos while against truthers on pizzagate is because of a document issued by Ratzinger (Cardinal then Pope Benedict XVI) when he was the "Grand Inquisitor"-- yes Grand Inquisitor (Torquemada was the first Grand Inquisitor).

Ratzinger was named by this survivor as being part of human hunting parties and ritual torture and murder of children: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1800676

He also avoided prosecution in a sex abuse case by claiming "diplomatic immunity" (because the Vatican is country with it's own currency central Rothschild bank, intelligence services etc.): http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/pope-seeks-immunity-over-sex-abuse-suit/2005/08/17/1123958097061.html NB: Pope Benedict XVI was the first pope to resign in over 500 years, and the first to resign voluntarily in over 700 years. We might well ask why. The obligatory red shoes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papal_shoes

The document Ratzinger was responsible for is called Crimen Sollicitationis (it's written in Latin).** It effectively silences those reporting pederasty by clergy no matter who they are, as well as the victims themselves under pain of excommunication.** Excommunication for a Catholic means eternity in hell. Even, nuns and priests who reported pedo clergy were not only defrocked but excommunicated. Source: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Crimen_Sollicitationis

Although articles, as on Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimen_sollicitationis)) say it is no longer in effect, the fact is by all accounts including their own in the same referenced article, it was simply replaced with another (secret) one in May of 2001.

This document came into the public consciousness due in part to media coverage of the pedo scandal.

Interviewed for a television program in 2006, canon lawyer Thomas Doyle described the tight secrecy demanded for the procedure [of investigating child rape, etc.] as "an explicit written policy to cover up cases of child sexual abuse by the clergy, to punish those who would call attention to these crimes by churchmen". This is a quotation from a (an ironically) BBC documentary on clergy sexual abuse in Ireland. While periodically removed from vimeo and YouTube, here is one I found today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcJT0b-gkIA This is important because the it is this show which made Crimen Sollicitationis known among the general public.

This document has been used in American cases (which have been won to the tune of billions so far) against pedo priests. https://ozatheist.wordpress.com/category/crimen-sollicitationis/ This document came into the public consciousness due in part to media coverage and the priest pedo scandal.

Parenthetically: This is not at all an indictment against Roman Catholic people or their faith. Please read this post according to it's relevance to pizzagate and institutional protection of pedophiles. It is important to note that homosexuality among RC clergy is rife due in large part to the prohibition on marriage of priests after the great schism in the middle ages. After a thousand years of Christianity, when the RC decided to split from the original church and become a quite different and worldly organization, they sought to confiscate property and all assets of clergy as they had considerable wealth and land. Priests were ordered to divorce their wives and turn everything over to the Vatican. [The original church, the Eastern Orthodox Christian Church, allowed and still allows married priests.]
