Over the weekend, news broke that a former apostolic nuncio had alleged that Pope Francis knew about sexual abuse within the Roman Catholic Church in America and failed to act. Many are demanding Francis' resignation if the claims are true. One cardinal named in the allegations — Cardinal Blase J. Cupich — has minimized the importance of the accusation, saying Pope Francis has a "bigger agenda" and should not get distracted by this "rabbit hole."
"The pope has a bigger agenda. He’s got to get on with other things, of talking about the environment and protecting migrants and carrying on the work of the church," Cupich told NBC Chicago. "We’re not going to go down a rabbit hole on this."
The cardinal defended the pontiff, saying, "The record shows that whenever there's actionable information, Pope Francis acts."
He even went so far as to suggest that some people are calling for the pope's resignation ... because they are racist. "Quite frankly, the also don't like him because he's a Latino."

I say get your own house in order before you worry about anyone else.
Everyone has their opinions on what to do, Cupich is wrong. Ignoring the fact of these atrocities gives the appearance of permission. Convict these criminals as would be done in any society.
Vatican surrounded by huge wall and guards and has taken in NO REFUGEES.

Oh Bullshit! We don't like him because he is a Liberal P.O.S. Snowflake!!
"Immigration" and "the Environment" is nothing but a liberal agenda, and one against President Trump.
It sounds like this Cardinal has a lot to hide.
