Description
Summary:Introduction: God Weeps – The Beginnings – Pope John Paul II: The Flummoxed – Pope Benedict XVI: The Rigid – Pope Francis: The Inconsistent– God Still Weeps – Bibliography – Index.
This book shows how Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI mandated many confused, inconsistent, and misguided policies on clerical sexual abuse; actions that ultimately hindered the implementation of effective reforms to alleviate the crisis that has enveloped the Catholic Church for the last two decades. It also examines the possibility of authentic change by articulating the positive outreach of Pope Francis to the victims of abuse, his attempts at institutional atonement, as well as his struggles to implement systematic actions for the protection of young people
