Pope Francis knew this ….. must resign

RUSH: How about the pope. We can take the hypocrisy route on this. “Pope Francis Long Knew of Cardinal’s Abuse and Must Resign, Archbishop Says — On the final day of Pope Francis’ mission to Ireland, as he issued wrenching apologies for clerical sex abuse scandals –” by the way, it seems that this is so widespread around the world. Everybody thinks the church I guess dealt with this some years ago, and it’s becoming clear that not only has the church not dealt with it, it has continued to spread. And there are now calls for the pope’s resignation because he knew about it! Long knew of the cardinal’s abuse.

Could we all agree that rampant pedophilia in the Catholic Church is disturbing and a cause for real concern? Could we agree? Am I being too controversial in making that statement? Now, has the pope convened the offending cardinals and told ’em to stop it? Has he convened the offending priests and monsignors and told ’em to cut it out? No. In fact, the story is that he’s long known of all of this and hasn’t done much about it. But when it comes time to climate change, greenhouse gases, there is no time to lose.

RUSH: … the Vatican — this is a big misnomer. They do spend a lot on the Catholic Church charities. Look, there’s some great things the Catholic Church does. You’re right, they’re worldwide. The U.S. population, — what did I see? Five percent of Catholics are United States citizens. The Catholic Church is huge around the world. And they do handle and deal with a lot of charitable activities.

They do a lot of good work. They don’t hoard things, and they don’t disabuse people reading Bible. I don’t know where that comes from. I mean, I’ve been to Catholic Mass. The Bible is read. But the pope is political. Look, it’s the problem with the left. The pope is a leftist. He’s a leftist, socialist from wherever he’s from, Argentina, whatever. And the left corrupts everything that they touch. Everything that they get their hands on ends up being corrupted because they politicize it.
