This past Tuesday, Pope Francis delivered another mass in which he shamed abuse survivors and coddled child abusing priests. According to The Vatican's Official Website :
The Pope brought up that it was also the people who yelled “crucify him”. Jesus then compassionately remained silent because “the people were deceived by the powerful”, Pope Francis explained. His response was silence and prayer. Here the shepherd chooses silence when the “Great Accuser” accuses him “through so many people”. Jesus “suffers, offers his life, and prays”, Pope Francis said.
So, he is calling the abusive priests Jesus, and he is calling the survivors of childhood sexual abuse "the deceived masses." Seriously, WTF? The Vatican refuses to condemn abusive priests and stand up for abuse survivors, and it is disgusting.

He is talking about the actions of Jesus when he was being sentenced to be crucified. The pope is saying nothing about himself, abusive priests, or abused children.

He's comparing the two

If you actually take the time to read the pope's address, nowhere does he ever mention himself, abusive priests, or the abused children. Therefore he cannot have been making an analogy between the actions of Jesus and himself, abusive priests, or the abused children. He is talking only about the actions of Jesus at his trail.

I read the whole thing. There is a reason he chose this to talk about , as it is perfectly analogous.
