full force. pope francis calling priests who abuse tools of satan and declaring an all-out war on abuse. the problem is there are different ideas about what that battle plan should look like. we did have a surprising revelation during the conference from german cardinal marks who admitted that some files containing evidence of sex abuse have been destroyed in germany. he said he did not know who was responsible for that but that he didn t think germany was an isolated case. and the other thing in the conference, there were some refreshing voices from women, including a nun from nigeria who had this to say. we proclaim the ten commandments and parade ourselves as being the custodians of moral standards. these are crucial times, yes. but why did we keep silent for so long? and vatican officials tell us they are already meeting this morning for follow-up on the
that is the problem. but what s really ironic is you have john kelly actually making excuses for a bunch of people who fired on and killed hundreds of thousands of men who wore the uniform that he wears now. it is unbelievably pathetic that a four-star general would make that and to say that the reason we ought not criticize them is because we re using today s moral standards. excuse me. we have a moral standard that goes back to the ten commandments. it says thou shall not steal. that s not a new moral standard. that s been around since god handed the tablets to moses. so i think probably john kelly went to catechism class. as a good catholic boy in boston, maybe he needs to refresh not only historic but biblical memory. why are they trying to whitewash history here? well, i think because they know they want history there are people in that subset his support who have always support that reactionary narrative. and they re pandering to them. i think it is very much about
