It cannot be disputed that the Church would be far, far better served if the good Archbishop, in a spirit of accuracy and full transparency and as an agent of TRUTH, would provide the irrefutable evidence and/or the open, unimpeachable, comprehensive testimony of identified witnesses that could sustain, confirm and validate with factual proof the unspeakable and unprecedented allegations he has made against the reigning Supreme Pontiff and Vicar of Christ; allegations by which the Archbishop has charged Pope Francis with acts of sodomy and the serial sexual violation and abuse of Novices whose formation was directly under the supervision of the accused. Surely His Excellency (as a man of integrity who holds others accountable for their words and actions) understands an allegation of that nature, the truth and veracity of which portends both earth-shattering and eternity-impacting consequences with ramifications and reverberations that shall most assuredly disrupt and enflame every strata of Holy Mother Church’s existence and shake her to her very foundations, MUST come with more than just a couple of casual observations said in passing or spoken publicly, as if one were just discussing the latest neighborhood gossip. The Church deserves better than that.
