Maybe that's what you think, Mr. Francis, but we're all entitled to being wrong. For me? I'd expect it's a human right that children shouldn't be preyed upon by people in positions of trust, such as Priest. And that should such a thing occur, responsible adults would ensure that such individuals would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Of course, my thoughts on that are also incorrect, given the Holy See's refusal to open up their archives on the subject. Not to mention that they continue to have a high ranking members of the Church, in positions of power, who believe that 7 year old boys are culpable for their rape (Bishop of the Archdiocese in Syracuse, NY).
