Well, after stating my biased opinion, I do respect the Beliefs of
others. If the Pope forgive a pedophile and the victim accepts that
the Pope can do this on behalf of God, what I think is of very little
importance. But as far as I am concerned, the only way I trust a
pedophile is to be certain he is never alone in the company of
children. Far, far too many Pedophiles fool even the best mental
health professionals and return to their compulsive/impulsive
behavior.
In my opinion, it is not a matter of mistrusting the violator, it is
the need to protect the children.

Well, he is! the Pope, and if one accepts the religious framework within
which he functions, he has the function of giving absolution. He is acting
as God's representative. It's just a matter of one's point of view.

Forgiven by Pope Francis
I have real problems with anyone forgiving a child rapist, regardless of the
position held by the person doing the forgiving. If the child attains
adulthood and decides at some point to forgive his attacker, that is his/her
business...whether I agree or not.
But for any official, or religious leader to presume to have the power of
forgiveness, that is pure hogwash. While I have agreed with many of Pope
Francis's actions, this is one that I will never agree with.
From where I see it, once someone has crossed the line and violated another
person, especially a child, it is just plain wrong for a third party to
believe that he/she has the power to forgive that violation.
And if the Pope really is bound by Church regulations, and feels he cannot
turn this violator over to the authorities, at least he should tell the
violator that he, the Pope, cannot forgive sins that are against another
human being, but he can strip him of his credentials and of his duties. At
least the Church should agree that to impose oneself on another, is an act
against not only that person, but against God, Himself.
But then, I'm just an old Agnostic who believes that we should do unto
others as we would have them do unto us.

Pedophile Priest who Raped 200 Children Forgiven by Pope Francis

James Porter, the evil priest who raped over 200 children, confessed
his pedophilia to the Pope who decided it best to "forgive and
forget", it has been revealed.By ignoring his pedophile confession,
the Pope left Father Porter to sexually abuse many more children that
could've otherwise been spared.
The pedophile priest was caught after a private investigator, who was
working with the serial rapist's victims, taped a phone conversation
in which Porter admitted to raping over 100 children. The church ended
up settling 131 claims related to Porter, making it the largest sex
abuse scandal in history until new allegations later emerged in Boston
involving defrocked priest Paul Shanley.
Although he admitted to raping all those children, prosecutors on the
case believe the actual number was well over 200 victims.According to
the Boston Globe, the Roman Catholic priest admitted in a 1973 letter
to Pope Paul VI that he had molested youths in five states."I know in
the past I used to hide behind a Roman collar, thinking that it would
be a shield for me," Porter wrote to the Pope in a four-page affidavit
seeking absolution for his "unholy deeds".NY Times reports: The
affidavit, which was accompanied by a 20-page statement of his
troubles statement, is a clear indication of how widespread knowledge
was inside the Roman Catholic Church about Mr. Porter's activities
while he was a priest from 1960 to 1974.
Pope Paul VI approved Father Porter's request on Jan. 5, 1974, The
Globe said.The newspaper reported that Mr. Porter's personnel file
showed that the Bishop of the Fall River Diocese in Massachusetts and
other church officials had removed Father Porter from his priestly
duties at least eight times because he had sexually assaulted
children. But each time they allowed him to resume his work after
favorable reports on his treatment. There is also no evidence that the
Diocese or churches where Father Porter served ever sought to help any
of his victims or their families. More Than 100 AccusersMore than 100
men and women who say they were sexually assaulted by Mr. Porter have
come forward since the first disclosures. Specialists on the church
say this makes the case one of the largest of its kind ever involving
a priest.Frank Fitzpatrick, a private detective who says he was one of
the victims, said that the letter to the Pope "just goes to show how
far the knowledge of this, and the cover-up, went.
"Mr. Fitzpatrick, who has accused Mr. Porter of raping him while he
was an altar boy in North Attleboro, Mass., in the early 1960's, said,
"It's horrible that not even Rome acted."But Eugene Kennedy, a former
priest, and author who teaches psychology at Loyola University in
Chicago said it was totally unrealistic to expect that the Pope or the
Vatican would intervene in a case like Father Porter's."The Vatican is
simply too far away", Mr. Kennedy said, "and its policy is to leave
such matters up to the local diocese".It is unclear whether Father
Porter's letter to Pope Paul VI is covered by the rules of
confidentiality that apply to confessions within the Catholic Church.
If it was covered, that presumably would have prevented church
officials from notifying law-enforcement officials or the victims'
families. The Globe did not indicate where it had obtained the material,
citing only sources.The Rev.
John Moore, director of communications for the Fall River Diocese,
which was responsible for Father Porter while he was a priest, denied
that the Diocese provided the material to the Globe. Father Moore said
the Diocese had recently turned over all its files on the former
priest to the Office of the District Attorney for Bristol County in
nearby New Bedford.The reason Father Porter wrote to the Pope, Mr.
Kennedy and other experts said, is that only the Pope could free a
priest from his vows, a process known as a dispensation. Mr. Kennedy
said only two explanations were acceptable at the time: that the man
had never wanted to be a priest or that he had real psychological
problems.
