By the time Sinéad O’Connor sang this (1992) some 70,000 children had been sexually abused by Catholic priests & brothers in Ireland. The state, media, bishops, cardinals & pope had covered it up. She was scorned.

The world was not kind to her for telling the truth.

Shame on them.

Catholic clergy in #Portugal have abused nearly 5,000 children since 1950, an independent commission said on Monday after hearing hundreds of victims' accounts.

📑 Thousands of reports of #paedophilia within the #CatholicChurch have surfaced around the world and #PopeFrancis is under pressure to tackle the scandal.

✝ The Portuguese inquiry, commissioned by the #Church in the staunchly #Catholic country, published its findings after hearing from more than 500 victims last year.

🗨️ "The report published today expresses a hard and tragic reality. We however believe that change is under way," said the head of the Portuguese Episcopal Conference, Bishop Jose Ornelas.

Pope Francis Laments Failures Of Market Capitalism In Blueprint For Post-COVID World

... Its title is Fratelli Tutti, and it is a scathing description of laissez-faire capitalism and a meditation on the coronavirus pandemic that has swept across the globe. ...

Picking up on some of his favorite themes, Francis says the marketplace cannot resolve every problem and denounces what he describes as "this dogma of neo-liberal faith that resorts to the magic theories of spillover or trickle." ...

"Every brother or sister in need, when abandoned or ignored by the society in which I live, becomes an existential foreigner, even though born in the same country. They may be citizens with full rights, yet they are treated like foreigners in their own country. Racism is a virus that quickly mutates and, instead of disappearing, goes into hiding, and lurks in waiting."

The encyclical is a sharp critique of nationalism and populism. In one section, he warns against "unhealthy 'populism' when individuals are able to exploit politically a people's culture, under whatever ideological banner, for their own personal advantage or continuing grip on power." ...
