I will grant you the stance which is based on religion - cant hold it against him.

Thanks…:halo:

As to molesters - I did not have any fixed mindset. One can only rely on available infornstion. It is reported he did look the other way. One should not assume he may have pursued molesters actively at times. In fact till a stink ese raised due to various scandals he was actively looking the other way.

I am jot willing tongive him benefit of doubt. Based on hexmight have done some active pursuit. What abt the defenseless children. I have nothing in my sympathy bank for protectors of child molesters.

The child molestation issue came to the forefront when John Paul II was the pope. It was not in the present Pope’s jurisdiction to actively pursue the child molesters. As I have said before, it is very easy to begin a witch hunt. There are numerous examples in the Church history as well as in everyday life wherein witch hunts have turned the lives of ordinary people upside down. Maybe it was not the best decision. But we would not never know the ramifications if there indeed had been a witch-hunt.

Also let us agree to disagree on this one !!!
