"Groundbreaking" Francis New Law Joke: Bishops Reporting to Themselves is Like Mafia Reporting to Themselves
Pope Francis's new law for clerics to report to bishops clerical sex abuse and cover-up is being called "groundbreaking" by the media.
I can't stop laughing.
It's like saying it would be "groundbreaking" if the Mafia just made a rule in which low level Mafioso stool pigeons or police informants should report to Mafia bosses instead of the police.
Abuse victim Peter Isely said it best:
"Bishops reporting to themselves, that's been the problem from the beginning... What we need are police and prosecutors."

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church.
