The Daily Mail – Two Catholic cardinals claim homosexuality is to blame for the sexual abuse scandal engulfing the Church – not the clerics themselves.
American Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke and German Cardinal Walter Brandmueller wrote in an open letter on Wednesday that the approach to the pedophilia crisis was wrong. They argue Pope Francis‘ criticism of clerical power did not address the primary fault which was a corruption of the absolute law, including by “the plague of the homosexual agenda.”
Pope Francis has previously analysed the problem as a structural and cultural one which he calls clericalism.
