Greg Burke comments on Pope
Francis’ message to Curia
Pope Francis’ message to the Roman Curia on Friday was “a
kind of preparation for the February meeting on the protection of minors”, says
the director of the Holy See Press Office.
Greg Burke, the Director of the Holy See
Press Office commented on Pope Francis’ Christmas message to
the Roman Curia on Friday. He called it “a kind of preparation
for the February meeting on the protection of minors”.
Pope firmly against abuse
Burke said Pope Francis “did not mince words” in speaking to
the Curia about sex abuse.
“The Pope said abuser priests are part of a web
of corruption... vicious wolves who devour innocent souls.”
Gratitude to journalists
Then Greg Burke pointed out that Pope Francis praised those
journalists who have honestly and objectively uncovered “priest predators and
have made the voices of victims heard”.
One case too many
Another point Burke made is that Pope Francis promises to
take abuse cases seriously and will not cover them up. “In the face of
these monstrosities”, the Pope said “even one case is too many”, Burke
said.
God’s light shines on
Burke concluded saying that the Pope himself ended his
message positively.
“God’s light continues to shine at Christmas, and the
Church will emerge from these troubled times purified and more
beautiful."
