Pope Francis, speaking to leaders of the Roman Curia, warns them against “fear, rigidity, monotony”, falling into ideological positions & repeating what has always been done.
He says those who work in the church’s central administration may need to “rekindle the embers under the ashes of the church”.

If a priest is cruel, rude, or verbally abusive in confession, you can walk away.
You don’t need to explain yourself, tell him what you’re doing or any such thing.
A person who comes to a priest in the sacrament of reconciliation is in a very vulnerable position and it is imperative that a priest respect that.

Sacked @BishStrickland says 2 years ago nuncio to US asked him not to keep claiming to defend the deposit of the faith from the Pope. A week ago, nuncio read him “several pages of concerns” about his running of the diocese of Tyler, including refusal to implement papal decrees.

#PopeFrancis: "A Christian who is discontented, sad, dissatisfied, or worse still, resentful or rancorous, is not credible." Joy is essential for evangelization. "The Gospel makes you smile, because it touches your soul."

He does not impose himself
Pope Francis: “God loves humility because it permits him to interact with us. Even more, God loves humility because he himself is humble. He comes down to us; he lowers himself; he does not impose himself; he makes room for us. God is is humility itself.” vatican.va/content/francesco…

The source of the “plague” of #childsexualabuse in the Church is the “traditional devaluation of children” & the mythical image of the #priest promoted by #PopeJohnPaulII: Dr Tom Doyle thetablet.co.uk/news/17759/d… @BDevlin1 @SpiritUnbounded @RootBranchSynod @RCsurvivors @marielco

Sexual abuse of children is Catholic church's existential threat.
Big Rome powwow is for naught without massive strategy to locate, arrest and dismiss every predator. They are violating children right now.

The month of October is also the month of the Rosary. I encourage you to set aside 30 minutes each day to pray the rosary. May the Virgin Mary intercede for the needs of the Church and for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

BREAKING: In a departure from many diocesan policies on the topic, a new document from the Diocese of Davenport, Iowa, stresses the first response to LGBTQ individuals should be "one of welcome, love, and respect." ncronline.org/node/255016
Part of the problem seems to be, that people whom one would expect not to do so because they should know better, take matters into their own hands disregarding both norms and law.
Victims are silenced... why? One of my guesses is because they call attention to the fact that a crime with dire consequences was committed and rightly demand justice.
And then the heinous crime of sexual abuse is reframed and explained away and an exclusively an "illness" and sin, drawing attention away from the crime against human dignity and humanity and refocusing sympathy on the brokenness of the offender.

Never tell your daughter that when a boy is mean or rude to her it's because he has a crush on her. Don't teach her that abuse is a sign of love. Make your daughter so capable that you don't have to worry who will marry her! Instead of saving money for her wedding day, spend it well on her education and most importantly, instead of preparing her for her marriage, prepare her for herself! Teach her confidence. Teach your daughter economic independence so in the future, she can have a partner, not a master. Teach her it's not about being beautiful. Teach her to be bold. Be strong. Be real, in a world full of fake. Let's redefine beauty.
