FORGIVENESS IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR JUSTICE

Benedict will purify the Church of all its evils; he is the right man for the times. This will cause a split in the Church, especially here in America. Stay with Peter to stay with God. Don't let the Siren song of "social justice" and secular lies draw you away.

Pope Benedict XVI on Tuesday issued his most forceful remarks on the sexual abuse crisis sweeping the Catholic Church. He called it “truly terrifying” and, in a marked shift in tone, suggested that its origins lay with abusive priests and with highly placed church officials who for decades concealed or minimized the problem.

The problem, he said, was “the sin inside the church,” and by implication not accusations from victims or the media.

“Forgiveness is not a substitute for justice,” he said, in remarks that underscored the Vatican’s recent if fitful efforts to break with a longstanding practice of handling abuse cases inside the church, rather than reporting abuse to civil authorities for prosecution.
