The new film 'Spotlight' has reminded us of what happened with the expose' of pedophile priests in Boston, and on Sunday, August 4, 2015, Pope Francis promised victims of church sexual abuse that all who were responsible will be held accountable.  Does that mean he will be sending Cardinal Bernard Law back to Boston to face his accusers?

A nice dream, Stephen, but that may be all that it is.  For people like us, the honeymoon is pretty much over with Frankie, mostly because for all the sizzle, there's been precious little steak, no real action to substantiate all the pretty words.
Honestly, I have to wonder if Bergoglio and his associates truly have a grasp on the wrong their not-so-little cabal has done to the world, and the real effort they would need to exert to make amends.  I don't think they have Clue One.

They're a law unto themselves. The Vatican should be thoroughly investigated and made to face civil law like everyone else.

The chances of the RCC doing anything to bring the child rapists and torturers to justice are slim to none. By the way. Slim left town!

All that were responsible will be held accountable. Maybe in some other realm called "god's world" but not in the reality of now where we all live.

I firmly believe that's the impression they have of themselves.

Mostly, the "gods," such as they are (or AREN'T!), think that it's their ball, their bat, and their game.  It is past time they were disabused of that notion.
