The Apology that Fell Short: Pope Francis Did Not Go Far Enough
...
The pope’s apology actually specifies those responsible for all the abuse to say “a number of Catholics.”

A few paragraphs later, he actually defends the “good and decent believers, who in the name of the faith, and with respect, love and kindness, have enriched your history with the Gospel.”

The apology did not go far enough and fell short of admission by the Catholic Church of wrongdoing on its part.

While condemning a number of Catholics, he suggests the good that the “good and decent believers” somehow placates the evil—that included physical, emotional, sexual abuse—done by others.

“To be honest the apology by #Pontifex reads more like a carefully worded statement made by the CEO of a major corporation after announcing the settlement of a class-action lawsuit in which the company paid a fine and admitted bad things happened but claimed zero institutional responsibility,” Native American author and activist Mark Charles (Navajo) wrote on his Facebook page.

The apology was lacking. It would have been more meaningful had Pope Francis said he was apologizing for the entire Catholic Church on behalf of all Catholics.

I agree. Nothing has changed:

So when do we destroy the Vatican?
