Pope showed wisdom and firmness against abuses as CDF prefect, says Msgr. Scicluna :: Catholic News Agency (CNA)

At least he's willing to cite the fact that there is a strong correlation between this injustice and homosexuality:

In the last nine years, said Msgr. Scicluna, the Congregation has dealt with three thousand cases of crimes committed over the last fifty years by diocesan and religious priests. He added that "about 60 percent of the cases chiefly involved sexual attraction towards adolescents of the same sex, another 30 percent involved heterosexual relations, and the remaining 10 percent were cases of pedophilia in the true sense of the term."

These 300 cases, he continued, "are of course too many


They need to be much more aggressive about connecting this fiasco with liberalism, but Msgr alludes to it when he says:

He concedes, however, that in practice "It may be that in the past - perhaps also out of a misdirected desire to protect the good name of the institution - some bishops were ... too indulgent towards this sad phenomenon."
