where people who are entre ought to docks but almost by definition had no leadership ability in them and were not able to think clearly for themselves. so the, when the crisis hit, there was slumped into call yourself bishop over come to the victims yourself and encourage them to go to the place. i suppose prob, so should perhaps i should have done, but am i, i've so much to do. it was the fact that the church leadership seemed to be quite comfortable lying to people to protect and the abuses with evidence mounting up systemic child abuse in church institutions. the irish government commissioned 3 investigative reports. the reports confirmed us

findings that at least 7 percent of all priests were accused offenders is his own of my deep concern. i have written a pastor letter dealing mrs payne for situation. i ask all of you to read it, for yourselves is an open heart. and in a spirit of phrase, my hope is said to do to help in the process of repentance, healing, and turn you. to us bishops, he says, we must admit the grave errors of judgment were made and failures of leadership. a court which i've seriously undermined our credibility and effectiveness devotee. com. what the vatican had a lot of knowledge in these matters. so in and it was addressed internally within the church at the vatican has never taken political responsibility for its refusal

to listen and for dismissing claims or to slice. and it's easy as a pope or as the cardinal in the vatican, cause gold, the bishops for what they've covered up the shins, thereby shifting the blame away from one's self. madame, it's supplies for the saves, mix wise and it's very obvious now that what they want to do was to bury the story and the same attitude when bye to the church, right up to the vatican. no doubt about it. then a 4th report was published in ireland the coin report. it revealed that the vatican had blocked irish bishops from turning over abuse cases to civil authorities. insisting that civil law does not apply to the church. the vatican refused to take

part in the investigation in a parliamentary session, irish prime minister and kenny took a stand. carter joseph, rushing her said standards of conduct appropriate to civil society or the workings of a democracy cannot be purely and simply applied to the church. is fair to say that after the royal on them of the reports, ireland is perhaps on shoppable when it comes to the abuse of children. but klein has proved to be of a different order. because for the 1st time in this country, it report into child sexual abuse, exposes an attempt for the holy sea to frustrate an inquiry in a sovereign democratic republic as little as 3 years ago, not 3 decades ago. and in doing so declined report excavate the dysfunction, the disconnection, the leases im the dominant,

the culture of the vatican today. i listened to that speech ah, directly, because i was going to be an irish radio show right after he finished it and comment on it. and it brought tears to my eyes because i said thank god, this man is saying, which should have been said a long time ago. quite a tradition many catholic man. regular math score is seen as quite conservative in a lot of ways. nobody expected from him. but it caught the mood of donation in a way that i've seldom seen any political speech in my life time. and suddenly he ta bombed the whole focus of ireland on the vatican.

ringback ah, ah, technically some is the core of it is seeing everything from the point of view that we know better than you do. and we can do things better than you can because we are the church are still a long path to journey in honesty before we can truly marriage forgiveness. archbishop martin got it. he understood just how bad this was. and he cooperated with the government when they were investigating the archdiocese of dublin, he turned over the files voluntarily. the abuse isn't it, isn't it isn't just the, the eel, the actual sexual acts,

which are horrendous. but the sexual abuse of the child is a, it's a total abuse of power. it's actually saying to a child, i control you. and that is saying to the child who are worthless. he was actually doing something in his country in his archdiocese to protect the victims of sexual abuse to bring about justice. but he went in on the day of the opening of a new school, were able to archbishop in the minister coming. and the 8 year olds are all dressed up and their hair combed and song was devastating. ah

ah, in 2010, the abuse scandal reached pope benedict bavarian homeland. oh . 2 c 1 i am in awe,

he must have felt h. i mean, he obviously knew the dorm spots and he, he's a ramos bag man for a great part of his life. you know, i mean them was hot breaking one of the worst of, of the abuse cases. i don't remember any comments accor. oh, i

ah more and more articles came out detailing victims stories. the vatican was under pressure to respond in 2010 cardinal sedano broke protocol at easter sunday mass to express his support for the pope. father, sancho. holy father, hoping you people have called a with you in some will not let themselves be influenced by the petty gossip of the moment. coleman by the trials that sometimes a sale, the community of believers spirit local mooney thought acre then did jesus. jesus said you over that in the world, you shall have tribulation of the 3 bullets healing but he immediately added june gen the be of could chair marvey i have overcome the world into mando.

ah, a few weeks later, the new spiritual movements answered the call to express their solidarity with the holy father and sickness. thank you all for being here. good now does is this is the root of the problem? did the other protection that is called upon and the protection that is given hums, the church should sit, it does not protect it, rather it harms it via and that's because it leads the church away from recognizing the truth and their can them divide the translator hat that was the community similar to the one i was hot off. and perhaps that was me in that moment when he visited us and we all stood there and smiled and pressed his hand and listened t and reverently. and no one asked a question, cannot instead we conveyed exactly what it was he wanted to see in that moment. and

then the fact that the sister who was standing in front of him was raped a few months ago by one of the priests who was also standing in front of him. that is not present in the room. you could say we protected him from that in that moment . the woman shirts. unfortunately, when you have a monarchical system, the most important part of that system is the monarch. the bishops who run the catholic church, protected themselves and their system at all costs. and of course, the major cross, there was the victims of sexual abuse. they were sacrificed for the security and for the image of the governmental system fire system. but in spite of all the pushback in spite of the size of the church, its power and its money, the victims still have something that they don't have. and that's the absolute truth as to what happened to them.

from 2010 on hope benedict traveled around the world. more than ever, he preached about contraception, abortion education, and the importance of the traditional family unit. pulp benedict's trip to mexico in 2012 coincided with the publication of $212.00 documents leaked from the vatican archives. they contained evidence that the vatican had been aware of matthew ales offences since the 1950s. some abuse victims invited pope benedict to meet with them. but he did not go and i was doing nothing except trying to prove that they knew this man was in abuser. and they were willing to leave him in his parish and where his mentoring children and they were willing to lie to me and lie and go to the press and say,

i was lying. they didn't have any care at all about destroying my reputation destroying me. i am and felt justified in doing that because in their mind, i was attacking the church and i was said, making them look bad because it is some higher. the church exists for the well salvation, and therefore it must be protected and its reputation must be protected. and anyone who questions that is there by attacking the church's mission of salvation. and when an outside to comes in asking certain questions, it's always taken as an attack. it's an attack because it destroys this image, which is an end in itself, assists rec. while in mexico, pope benedict sustained a head injury after tripping in the middle of the night. mm mm. the injury was initially kept quiet, but his doctor advised him to stop his inter continental travel, hulu de isaac,

next trip to mexico was incredibly exhausted. a mood, he was very, very tired, a thief lang's i'm and he recovered somewhat slowly on to and i noticed something's august as a i'm good. so in prayer, zog and he was even more in it. this is not even more fervent in even more existential existence. ella ah, what for those years like for benedict for joseph that singer gradual realization that all of this institution did he had given his life to to tell was so much in it the trust corrupt and the tra seriously malfunctioning steve for the lives vh. thick jimenez, i am facing the last stretch of my life for him and i do not know what will be

imposed on me. but i know that the light of god is that is that he has risen. this that his light is stronger than all darkness that god's goodness is, is stronger than all the evil of this world who lived in 2012. it also surfaced that pope benedict butler polo gabriella had been stealing confidential documents for years and passing them on to a journalist. for the 1st time, the public had a window into the inner workings of the vatican. v comped, it's to i'm the on distance televi come out as such a li happen. but he for document. how can a journalist publish letters documents for the or parts of documents for internal business transactions in a book? you can t m on to most as though somebody must have leaked it from the inside from in, on,

from the very most inner circle. it was a house and you popped up. she, her english, a definite weakness of rot singer, which was we noted many times you. so i'm not saying anything new here is that he is not the best judge of character out there. as timothy pushing the valley lake scandal revealed in fighting money laundering and corruption in the curia, the vatican central administration. the situation had spiraled out of control is deep fin. there are 5 or 6 possible theories on the source of the leaks. but then there were 2 things i spotted us and realised it could have only been one person i any person give either the holy father himself ought to say, or me a secretary or another person or very close to him. you see a nice we abandon knocked isn't lucky leaks or we were with him after the battle last summer. and he came to speak about paolo often. that was the butler who stole the documents that day. and it became very clear to me that he was not just some

employee there, but that he was more like a son to him under his confidences or does vazo foster. and he now broken his father's trust, wound dehas for that was not only an objective disappointment thus far, that was a deeply human horizontal, familial. you might say to keep this appointment for him familiarly could, to missouri and toto free. my love was let down again. be that once again, i was looking for love and i didn't find it to leave and you can't bear that in the long run. gus had my after though i leased out pope benedict wanted to ensure there'd be no further leaks. so he ordered an investigation into the power struggles and various networks that play in the vatican. the result was a 300 page dossier was not dim. dan das got an article league you after the college of cardinals elected a new poultice was given hope. francis hut by the alp benedict informed to poke

francis about the matter in a confidential conversation during their 1st meeting's already suffering from yet or not even done. oh, he then also gave him the darcy to see since he supposed to know its contents and can do with it what he thinks his right canons or damage it. i mean this objectively closes the mattress about a variety leaks all or picked it up gabriel's that he saw perhaps this would sort of make it a little better if he was officially handing it to the next pope. you see what i mean? shaving his image or something because i mean, what on earth, why? why incomprehensible. i mean, get down to the 2 of you and settle this sense to blame both. got major positions in the world. and oh, was all this about. and i still wonder, what does it say, what's in this thing? after all, this is about the courier who you just

reflect back and the beginning of the 20th century. you head on the european con, 3 royal families running, show the romanovs in russia, home zones, germany and the hops works in the austro hungarian empire. where the, the leadership of all 3 of those was real. they were real emperors, real kinks and they are of real czar and they really had power. however, what they failed to see was that this power was useless and they weren't responding to the real needs of their people who no longer we're going to remain silent. and in some ways, there's an analogy with the institutional catholic church, which is another absolute monarchy. benedict symbolized the catholic church as

monarchy. and he hoped that it would be a successful, effective form of government. but it isn't at the 2nd vatican council in the 19 sixty's yoseph that singer set out to reinvigorate the church and restore it standing in people's lives. by the end of his time as pope he was confronted with a church in an utter moral crisis. d. i didn't listen into joan ups. he was not able to follow through with his actual intentions as of school to which were oriented towards goodness got salvation. god, gods loved the mankind. he began to sued, mentioned the leash to dora, thus happy, failed time and time again. said burger, and in that regard, one can speak of a tragedy. he did not actually achieve what he wanted to do. a package laden thus marcia awarded to had english an established

ah, i sent me a donkey zach tuts when he told me what he planned to do. i was stunned. i shouldn't be hampton in my instinctively said, ski holy father, you can't do that. you can't resign that as i can. i'm into which he said, nobody, i have thought about it for a long time. is he spit is better for the good of the church that i renounce the office of this obstinacy. ah

may munch yeast all sign of custody if you unfair from his understanding of the papacy as well as his personal theology and his understanding of the world on the church. this was a tremendous departure, ohio up come kind bench can no man can resign from a higher function you than he did played us here. ah ah, if love edison shayton. oh,

the shy tongue. i believe that his failure is also the failure of an era snows on because it is not only his personal failure, so nasty, dear chateau, an error in did he kill rather it's the failure of an era in which the church is once again trying to preserve its strong friend versus foe coined us versus them identity via or d. it, he didn't, he tends to happen. how does an authoritarian institution change to become an institution that can deal with people on the level of equality and loving to listen other than just command the only country were a popular referendum approved i'm same sex married was ireland which used to be catholic plus and that had to have said something very clearly loudly to the

ruling structure of the catholic church. not just an hour, but an inning and rom as well. and i grew up as a young person. irish people were shipped to pope and twas, it's a perfect example of that. when john paul came, it was extraordinary to response to his people. even catholic people, a much more challenging and much more questioning now than they were before. and this automatic adulation of popes is gone. that's a mess of change in a generation. ah

ah ah ah
