Why then would Pope Francis now discredit accusers of clergy sex abuse, by calling them 'allies of the devil' at a morning mass on Thursday, September 13?

Maybe Pope Francis should say the same thing to some of his Cardinals, Bishops and Priests, who abuse their power and authority of the Catholic Church, by participating and covering up sexual abuse. Isn't this blasphemy too?? Sorry to inform you Pope Francis, but 'the great accuser, Satan' has now manifested himself within the Catholic Church and you're too blind to acknowledge it.

Pope Francis has called an unprecedented meeting of Catholic Church leaders in response to the sex abuse scandal that has marred the papacy.
Presidents of every bishop conference around the world will meet Feb. 21 to 24, 2019, to discuss preventing clergy sexual misconduct and protecting children.

Since this "unprecedented" meeting will not occur until February 2019, the Pope must not think the abuse is too serious.

So says someone who doesn't actually understand the message of salvation.
In order to have faith in the message of Christ, you have to believe that what He taught was true, and you can't actually have faith in that without believing He meant what He said ... all of it, meaning your actions as well as everything else.

There is that bit where He talks about how those who cry His name and claim all kinds of deeds in it will be told He never knew them.
So, yes, salvation is by faith, but not in the empty way you sneer at.

Here's a theory. Maybe this entire reality is satanic and the pope is right because everyone here is truly satanic, even if they hide it? So, even those innocent children are satanic. And even you, Mr. Poster.
Maybe everything about this terrible reality is evil. Just a theory...

How do any of you know for sure that many of these children aren't simply young bodies being inhabited by adult spirits and/or demonic entities who purposely entice the priests, who they know will give in easily?
