The current pope is sitting on mountains of evidence of all sorts of attrocities perpetrated in the name of the Catholic church. By the catholic church. Sure he’ll open up something here and there to keep the visage that they’re changed now, but they haven’t until they open it ALL up.
See the latest article on Catholic Spain, where the abuse was so rampant, the victims run in the thousands. Catholic missionaries abusing children on an incomprehensible scale. Perhaps the church-run prisons in South-American countries? Maybe the second world war where the vatican was a conduit between nazis and the outside world?
We won’t know until the CURRENT catholic church releases any and all documents, and not releasing them means they’re hiding actual crimes for actual criminals. In my eyes, that doesn’t make them any better than the people who perpetrated the crimes.
Also idc if it’s petty. Do you think it’s petty that the catholic church took over the state’s responsibilities to care for widowed mothers and orphaned children in Ireland, leading to rampant abuse, rape, torture, human traficking and deaths among them? Is that petty? That we’re still finding mass graves in Canada, dug by the good ol boys of the catholic church, to which the catholic church still does not want to admit fault?
