After Years Of Protecting Pedophile Priests, Pope Francis Forced To Outlaw Vatican ‘Pontifical Secret’ Code Which Allowed Child Rape To Flourish

Pope Benedict XVI had decreed in 2001 that these cases must be dealt with under 'pontifical secret', the highest form of secrecy in the church. The Vatican had long insisted that such confidentiality was necessary to protect the privacy of the victim, the reputation of the accused and the integrity of the canonical process. However, such secrecy also served to keep the scandal hidden, to prevent law enforcement from accessing documents and to silence victims, many of whom often believed that 'pontifical secret' prevented them from going to the police to report their priestly abusers.

Pope Francis, who did not want to overturn this law, was finally forced to do it by the ever-growing wave of public outrage combined with hundreds of millions of dollars they have been forced to pay out so far in lawsuits brought by their victims. But the truly disgusting aspect to all of this is that Pope Francis for years had fought and resisted outlawing the Pontifical Secret, he liked it and was very much in favor of using it.

. ^{REVELATION 18:5-8}
 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. ⁶Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. ⁷How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. ⁸Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
