Pope: says Catholic Church should not be judged by modern standards over sexual abuse

Um no... sorry papa

But he insisted the Church should not be judged by modern standards because attitudes towards abuse, which he said happens not just in the Church but in society generally, have changed dramatically over the years.

'In olden times, these things were covered up, they were even covered up in homes, when an uncle raped a niece, when a father raped his children,' he said. 'It was covered up because it was an enormous shame. That was the mentality in the last century.

damning report released in Germany on Tuesday showing that almost 3,700 minors - mostly boys - were assaulted between 1946 and 2014.

Who knew olden times stopped apparently in 2014. Come to think of it, i remember back in 2011 when priests could just rape little boys and it was just considered “boys will be boys” anctics.


With this logic, i guess we should also stop hunting old nazis as times were different back then. Oh and while we are at it, free Bill Cosby because back in the day date rape drugs were alright to use.


Sorry, but in reality there should be a a brave federal prosecutor- maybe PA- that brings forth RICO charges to a grand jury for bishops and church heirarchy moving priests from one locale to another after allegations of sexual abuse. These higher ups were no better than a child sex trafficking ring the Feds are always so proud to take down.
