That’s what Jesus would do, in the opinion of the PC Pope. And all these years I thought the job of Catholic priests like the pope was to hear confessions of sin, not to advise the sinners to remain silent about their sins. (The literally thousands of claims of children having been molested or raped by Catholic priests is the work of “the devil unleashed,” says the PC Pope who now urges a vow of silence on the matter, advice that any good criminal defense attorney would also offer).
UPDATE: An emailer writes that the pope sounds more like a mafia don instructing his minions to “take the Fifth,” and that this is probably a “dog whistle” to the silent faithful who know of further sex crimes but have not spoken out.
