Thankyou so much for your comments. As a physician and as a Catholic, I am ashamed that it is popes who have demanded secrecy and denial of the truth of worldwide clergy sexual abuse of innocent children and vulnerable adults, including Pope St John XXIII and Pope St John Paul II. 

As Cardinal Pell is being protected in the Vatican by Pope Francis, I learn that the Royal Commission in Australia, called by a female prime minister a few years ago, to investigate sexual abuse in all the churches, has found that at least 45 young boys and young men have committed suicide in the hometown of Cardinal Pell in Ballarat, Victoria, when they gave up hope of their stories of being sexually abused and raped by their priest and brother teachers being believed, because of the denial of the truth by the sexual predator clergy, by their superiors, and by the hierarchy. That prime minister was soon replaced by a buddy of Cardinal Pell. Such is the power of the Catholic Church to cover up its crimes.
