In 2015, after Bp. Cunningham became head of Syracuse, a group of outraged Catholics petitioned Rome to force Cunningham to resign because of his callous attitude towards sex abuse victims. It became public that Cunningham had said during a 2011 sex abuse deposition, when asked whether he thought boys being raped by priests were sinning, Cunningham answered, "The boy is culpable."

His words caused such uproar that nearly 90,000 signed a petition to Pope Francis, urging him to remove the bishop from the diocese. Cunningham never resigned and remains the bishop of Syracuse to this day

I can't believe it.

So Pope Francis decided that a bishop who said the victims are the perps could stay a bishop. Noted.

Now of course it makes sense why he initially claimed the survivors of clerical abuse in Chile were not trustworthy when they complained about clergy involved in a cover-up.

Smh in disbelief.

Believe it. Fake pope.

The Church won't stand for it. It takes time, but Catholics will root this shit out from the inside. It's been many people's sworn life work for a while now. You are starting to see the results. Voris is only one example.

I hope so. As you know, I think that Benedict XVII and Pope John Paul II were as bad as Francis when it comes to sovering up sexual abuse. So I'm sceptical about any new Pope who might get elected after Francis will have died or retired.

He is a Disciple of Satan. Or the Devil Himself. He disgusts me beyond words. Shall he burn forever in the fires of hell. Hell is what he has said does not exist. He lies again. If that is true, then I wish the rest of his life will be Hell on Earth.
