Report: 6 Cardinals Accused of Covering Clergy Abuse—Including 3 Top Candidates for Next Papacy

The Stream: Three of the top six cardinals in the race to become the next pope, including Hungary’s conservative Cardinal Péter Erdő, have been accused of covering clerical sex abuse in the Catholic Church.

Last Thursday, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) and fellow advocacy group Nate’s Mission released a bombshell dossier containing evidence against cardinals Péter Erdő, Mario Grech, and Luis Antonio Tagle.

The dossier also included complaints against cardinals Robert Francis Prevost, Kevin Farrell, and Víctor Manuel Fernández—who, while high-ranking, are not considered papabili (potential popes). SNAP also included a letter rebuking Pope Francis for covering for predator priests while he was serving as archbishop of Buenos Aires. more: https://stream.org/six-cardinals-accused-of-covering-clergy-abuse-including-three-top-candidates-for-next-papacy/

  1. The vows of celibacy aren’t taken seriously enough by the Catholics. To become a priest, candidates should be selected exclusively from the ranks of the castrati.

  2. …meanwhile, Cincinnati is installing a new archbishop who looks like he shouldnt be allowed within 1000 yards of a school with the allegations to back it up, and also loves him some LGBTQ…

    “He also addressed a misconduct complaint that had been made against him in 2008 while he was a parish priest in Chicago. Details about the allegation, which accused him of sexual misconduct with a child, have not been disclosed, but church officials said in 2018 that it was investigated by local authorities and determined to be “unfounded.””

    “Casey, who is taking over for the retiring Archbishop Dennis Schnurr, said the church’s role is to be a welcoming place for all people despite a deepening division nationwide over politics, immigration, LGBTQ rights and other issues.”

    …and here he is letting his freak flag fly…

    …guess HIS diocese wont be preaching 1 Romans any time soon, or Leviticus 18:22…

    “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.”

    …you are not doing sinners any favors in saying YOU accept their sin, because GOD never will and you KNOW it, or should; and you should also know what the Bible says about leading your flock astray…

    “1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord.

    2 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord.”
    Jeremiah 23:1-2

    …but he is fulfilling THIS Biblical truth in his…ministry…

    “3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

    4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”
    2 Timothy 4:3-4

    …given that Cincinnati is now a People’s Republic as well as the 3rd poorest US city (those things, as always, are related) this isnt surprising; Id just kinda hoped that the Lord would send them a true prophet for once and not a guy who probably stays in shape to run Flying Pig marathons by running after Catholic schoolboys…

  3. All it took was Hunthausen for me to flat out reject the premise that priests, Bishops and Cardinals are due respect they have no legitimate right to. He was a crackpot in Great Falls and in ~1975 when he came to Seattle I was disgusted. My mother ran the family car off the road, jumped the curb and nearly up a tree when I said that he is a crackpot and quite possibly a heretic. The USCCB is just as corrupt as our government. There are some very good and deserving bishops and cardinals, but they are in the minority.

  4. This is why pedos must die.

    They do not stop.

    They only get worse.

    Pay particular attention to how he BRAGS to another inmate about the 8 yo he raped and murdered.

    This is what they are like.

    …a reprobate mind is one even God has given up on, so they no longer have a conscience.

    The only cure is death.

    “28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

    29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

    30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

    31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

    32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”
    Romans 1:28-32

    …”that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”

    THAT is a pedophile.

    You cant fix them.

    You can only kill them.

    Before THEY kill again.

    Death to pedos and anyone who covers for them.

    No matter the hypocritical robes they wear.

    “All it took was Hunthausen for me to flat out reject the premise that priests, Bishops and Cardinals are due respect they have no legitimate right to.”

    …no one is due respect. A person may be due deference because of their station or title, but continuing to get that deference is contingent on EARNING respect, which not everyone is worthy of.

    Respect is never given, always earned.

    And the leader who doesnt prove himself worthy of that respect or REMAIN worthy of respect even if he EARNS it WILL be ignored and beclowed and bypassed by those under him no matter what, and no amount of angry orders or bullying directives is going to change that.

    The most that enforcing an undue respect may do is drive the GOOD people, the ones that can florish and contribute anywhere, out of your organization. The idiots and yes-men and blame shifters will stay, but obeisance is not productivity and your organization will fail in a sea of synchophants.

    Or worse, people will go into automoton mode and follow orders to the LETTER, without actually making any adjustments based on their knowledge and experience whatsover or doing anything to make their heavy-handed boss’s demands actually WORK even if they KNOW better.

    It is said that the WORST thing a seargeant can do to a general is EXACTLY what he’s told.

    And the results of precisely following orders of people who do not deserve respect can result in the death of a project, the death of an organization, the actual death of people, and even the death of nations.

    See DEI hiring and the Pedo Joe “presidency” for just two examples…

  6. The Vatican needs a dose of DOGE and to enforce the law (God’s law) among their own. There are some very good men in the clergy but the hierarchy tends to elevate those who protect the system rather than those who protect the vulnerable.
