No chance!
The Pope is the Public Relations Officer of the Vatican and it's College of Cardinals. The Pope is as much in control of what he says and does as Ronald McDonald is. On the rare occasion when the Mario Bergoglio has gone off-script, the Vatican was quick to invalidate and denounce the Pope's fuck-ups and make it clear what he was supposed to say.

Of course Muslims report all child abuse to police. So the police can cover it up for them.

Pope Francis has previously said, “everything possible must be done to rid the church of the scourge of the sexual abuse”.
The only way I would accept pedophile priests not being turned over to law enforcement is if they take these dirtbags to Vatican City and behead them in St. Peter's Square

The LA school district doesn't either, so where is the rage?

Does the LA school district move the abusers around the world so their abuse can continue?
Does the LA school district continue to provide shelter to the abusers even after they have been convicted?
Does the LA school district try to discredit the victims and always side with the abuser?

Uh, yeah actually they do. Dumbass.

I'm downvoting this (and I rarely do that) because its just the most misleading thing about an org that has had NO WORSE rates of problems than any other comparable org and has since become one of the safest orgs on the planet with a tremendous effort to stop pedos and abusers for a long time now.
This article is taking a an awkward sentence discussing procedure and then falsely describing it as if the abusers are known abusers and just other problems including an advcocy group lying about massive changes that have been made etc.
Totally wrong context, taken wrong, is not intending to say what the jacked-up headline warps even more.
btw: I am NOT a Roman Catholic (my guys had an issue and protested them a lot) but its just beyond annoying still seeing people on the internet feeling free to just shlt and accuse and manipulate truth just to serve this ongoing BS

Name another organization the size of the Catholic Church. I'll wait. None? Let's look at percentages of bad individuals then and compare that to other organizations. Shit, that method doesn't fit your narrative.

Well worded. I see you, like me, also suffer from proper logic skills. This in no way makes you pro-pedophile.

Because the Vatican considers being an accessory to child rape to be a good thing... apparently.
