After McCarrick report, pope vows to stop smoking 'uproot evil' of clerical sexual abuse
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis, in his first public comment after the release of an explosive report on the Vatican’s mishandling of the case of ex-U.S. Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, on Wednesday again vowed to put an end to sexual abuse in the Church.

"Yesterday, the report about the painful case of ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick was published. I renew my closeness to the victims of every abuse and the commitment of the Church to uproot this evil," Francis said at his weekly general audience.

He then closed his eyes and prayed silently.

The 450-page report said the late Pope John Paul II promoted McCarrick in 2000 despite rumours of his sexual misconduct, one of a series of failings by popes and officials who let him rise through the ranks regardless of repeated allegations against him.

#1 How about dedicating the Church to ending child trafficing worldwide. Guilt is great since you guys did bad, but that's not enough. Do good.

Also ask your worldwide empire for some real info on how great socialism is working out so you can get your head straight.
