text: Well at least you acknowledge ; that "the Catholic Church failed to deal with the sexual abuse scandal". You are correct in that. That also includes Pope Francis who has really done very little other than window dressing. Yes he is "a world leader;  & a head of state" whose credibility has been diminished due to his inability to deal with the clerical & religious child sexual abuse scandal that involves millions of children worldwide. He needs to do something about the institutional church that enabled and covered up the issue but then it has been going on for centuries as we now know; with the full knowledge of the hierarchy, including all the popes. He does not have the credibility as a world leader; to pinpoint other country's failures when he is not doing anything about the glaring catholic world crisis of his hierarchy's making. 
  
  I did not say "because the Catholic Church failed to deal with the sex abuse scandal, therefore it should stop helping refugees". You said that.
