VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope summons heads of all bishops conferences around world for February summit on preventing clergy sex abuse.
Francis' key cardinal advisers announced the decision Wednesday, as the latest chapter in the Catholic Church's long-running sex abuse and cover-up scandal has thrown Francis' papacy into crisis.
The Feb. 21-24 meeting is believed to be the first of its kind and signals a realization at the highest levels of the church that clergy sex abuse is a global problem and not restricted to the Anglo-Saxon world, as many church leaders have long insisted.
Francis' papacy has been jolted by accusations he rehabilitated a top American cardinal from sanctions imposed by Pope Benedict XVI for having molested and harassed adult seminarians.
The third part of the secret revealed at the Cova da Iria-Fátima, on 13 July 1917.
I write in obedience to you, my God, who command me to do so through his Excellency the Bishop of Leiria and through your Most Holy Mother and mine.
After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendour that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: 'Penance, Penance, Penance!'. And we saw in an immense light that is God: 'something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it' a Bishop dressed in White 'we had the impression that it was the Holy Father'. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God.

Tear down their corrupt institution brick by brick and force them to build their own prisons from the ruin.

So a meeting of the top pedophiles and the people who have been protecting them and covering up their crimes for decades. I bet this is more about workshopping ways not to get caught and better ways to cover it up.
They haven’t cared about the victims for DECADES, what makes people think they all the sudden care now? All they care about is the churches reputation.

Just for a general comment on the issue of the church raping children:
It obviously shows that the whole religion is psychologically sick.
Molesting / raping children is not something that normal people would even WANT to do.
These priests could find consenting adults to sleep with. Even prostitutes (adults).
In NY the legal age is 17, meaning that everyone in NY is allowed to sleep with 11th graders. How anyone feels a need to go younger than that, is just sick. Especially talking about very young kids.
People blame celibacy (or homosexuality) but that is not the reason. They could pretend to be celibate and go bang consenting adults in their private lives.
I don't know why exactly, but it's clear that the religion is mentally ill in some very fundamental way.
