Examen de conciencia

I'm a Mexican Catholic and studied with Jesuits since High School. In my personal experience pederasty was nowhere to be seen. Nevertheless decades later as an adult I became aware through comments by priests who had hung their robes to form normal families that there existed a powerful mafia of homosexuals inside the Church that placed a heavy lid both on the ongoing travesties as on the possibility of liberating marriage to the clergy.

Some years later the manure hit the fan worldwide.

Pity that this brave series didn't address the worse cases like those commited by orders like the Legionaries of Christ and also innumerable members of the secular credit. The series quest should have been carried much further.

How did the Vatican dare canonize a Pope who covered the atrocities commited by a high percentage of members of the Roman Church is something that evades my reason. The lukewarm and feeble attitude of the present Pope, Francis, is an ominous sign. How can the terrenal organization that claims to withhold the teachings of Christ can survive this, I cannot fathom.

I urge everyone holding through the anger this series is sure to provoke (whatever your religious affiliation or lack of it) and watch it whole. What is depicted here is only the tip of a huge iceberg.

It's a shame that the guilty haven't been processed through the penal systems of most countries.
