There is absolutely no excuse for this behavior by the hierarchy.  It is up to the laity to take control of this awful situation.   We need a letter writing or postcard campaign from millions of angry Catholics to Pope Francis and any enablers. We need websites where the laity can  criticize their Church's scandalous response and make our disgust and anger very public.   It is better that we light a fire under their feet now than Satan light one for them sometime in the future.

It's up to us to keep them accountable.

What's the Pope's address?
