Pope Asks for Forgiveness For All The Child segxwal Abuse Scandals By Priests

Pope Francis today says he felt responsible for the child segxwal abuse scandals that have rocked the Catholic Church, and has issued an unprecedented apology. He made the remarks during a meeting with the International Catholic Child Bureau (Bice), a non—governmental organization. Pope Francis said:
“I feel compelled to personally take on all the evil which some priests, quite a few in number, obviously not compared to the number of all the priests, to personally ask for forgiveness for the damage they have done for having segxwally abused children.
The Church is aware of this damage, it is personal, moral damage carried out by men of the Church, and we will not take one step backward with regards to how we will deal with this problem, and the sanctions that must be imposed,” the pontiff added.
Francis also stressed that children have to be protected against all forms of violence, including slave labour and enrollment in child armies, and given the right “to grow up in a family with a father and a mother.” Starting from Francis’ predecessor, Benedict XVI, the Catholic Church has taken an increasingly tough line on child abuse. A growing number of priests accused of molesting children have been defrocked, while penalties in the Vatican legal code have been stiffened.

As far as I am concerned,you are the FALSE PROPHET revealed to JOHN in the BIBLE book of REVELATION.You are the head of the WOMAN riding the BEAST,clothed in SCARLET with a GOLDEN CUP full of abominations, on whose head is written MYSTERY,BABYLON THE GREAT.Forget the apology,can you tell the people in simple language what the Jesuit Priests are doing in Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope (VATT), at the Mount Graham International Observatory (MGIO) in Southeastern Arizona,USA(an observatory owned by the VATICAN)?. Can you also tell the people why the  Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope (VATT) is actually named LUCIFER?. Can you please tell the people why a TELESCOPE owned by the VATICAN is named LUCIFER ?. Can you again tell the people what the VATICAN is looking for in SPACE ?. Can you tell the people why Pope Benedict resigned?,something that have not happened in the last 600 years.Can you tell the people why YOU a,JESUIT PRIEST became the Pope,something that have never happened before.You can take the name of FRANCIS,but the watchers know,that FRANCIS was PETER of ROME,the watchers also know that your PARENTS are from ITALY(ROME),even though you were born in ARGENTINA.So some of us knows.

For the Catholic brothers and sisters here,this is not an insult on your Pontiff (Pope). This is just a statements of FACTS. Please I encourage you to do some research on the issues I raised before you respond to me. For those people here that are always insulting others in this forum,this is beyond you and I can tell you I am waiting for your insults, I can also assure you that your insult will not remove a single hair from my body.
