About Pontifical Secret

Pontifical Secret and Madonnina

 
It’s no secret the Catholic Church fails to protect children.
 

Pontifical Secret* facilitated and covered up sexual crimes against children and vulnerable adults for the past century.

Thank you, Pope Francis for lifting “Pontifical Secret” on matters related to child sexual abuse and abuse of vulnerable adults, on your 83rd birthday.
 
A step on your path to protect children from criminal clergy and religious staff.
 
May the next Pope make protection of children their pontifical priority by plugging and creating clear canon laws.  Embrace mandatory reporting of abuse to civil authorities with the same devotion Mary has for her child Jesus.
 
Mandate penalties for crimes of abuse and cover-ups.  Be clear and unambiguous.  Criminal clergy will be dismissed from the clerical state.
 
Mandatory reporting to civil authorities and a culture of zero tolerance sends a clear message.  Crimes against children and vulnerable adults will be punished.  Victims and survivors demand justice.  Mercy can take a ticket. Mercy follows justice.
 
The Catholic Church has lost the right to police itself.  Sadly, there’s blood on its hands.  The church can never atone for this evil.  All she can do is ensure the Catholic Church is no longer complicit and ceases to cover up these crimes.
 
The next Pope with have the power to create a safer future for the world’s children.  Pope Francis made a start…I’m confident the next Pope will have the will to lead on this.  Lifting “Pontifical Secret” signalled Pope Francis was a match against the forces of evil within the church.
 

Sadly, a match wasn’t enough. 

SNAP Conclave Watch:

“In 2019, Francis abolished the pontifical secret, a move that would allow the Vatican to share abuse documents with civil authorities and give victims updates on the status of their cases. Although it has been hailed as a major achievement in bringing about transparency surrounding sexual abuse and cover-up in the church, it has not changed the Vatican practice of withholding critical documents and evidence from investigations of abuse.”

May the next Pope start a fire!

ZERO TOLERANCE

DISMISS FROM CLERICAL STATE
