I find myself with very conflicting views. I am confused by the two "faces" of both Pope Francis & Cardinal Tagle. They encourage us to have "our arms wide open"; "to give an affectionate & embracing hug"; "the most precious good .. the desire for change" etc ?
Why do I find myself asking ; why they did not embrace those virtues that they so obviously value, with the victims of clerical abuse. Apart from all the int judicial reports; the NCR highlighted the recent  comprehensive report from the Australian Global Research team, by Desmond Cahill & Peter Wilkinson. I am currently reading through the report, which tracks the global institutional church's involvement in child abuse right back to earliest times. It is compelling reading and proves the scale of secrecy employed to cover-up the facts. It exposes the contradictions at the highest level between Church & States; thanks to the media and people's development. It's all a charade & always was; the Vatican have no desire for change.
