Default The Pope Blames the Devil for sex abuse scandals



The devil is alive and well and working overtime to undermine the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis has said.

The pope is convinced that Satan is to blame for the sexual abuse crisis and deep divisions racking the Church.

The pope asked Catholics around the world to recite a special prayer every day in October to try to the devil back.
“(The Church must be) saved from the attacks of the malign one, the great accuser and at the same time be made ever more aware of its guilt, its mistakes, and abuses committed in the present and the past,” Post Francis said.

Since he was elected in 2013, Francis has made clear that he believes the devil to be real. In a document in April on holiness in the modern world, Francis mentioned the devil more than a dozen times.

We should not think of the devil as a myth, a representation, a symbol, a figure of speech or an idea. This mistake would lead us to let down our guard, to grow careless and end up more vulnerable.

The Church has recently been hit by one sexual abuse scandal after another, from Germany, to the United States, to Chile. At the same time, a deepening polarization between conservatives and liberals in the Church has played out on social media.

Francis’ use of the term “the great accuser” to describe Satan hit a raw nerve with one of the pope’s harshest conservative critics, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, the Vatican’s former ambassador to Washington.

In an 11-page statement published on Aug. 26, Viganò launched an unprecedented broadside by a Church insider against the pope and a long list of Vatican and U.S. Church officials.

He accused Francis of knowing about sexual misconduct by a former U.S. cardinal with male adult seminarians but not doing anything about it.

Viganò, concluding that his former boss had singled him out as the devil in disguise, complained in his next statement that Francis “compared me to the great accuser, Satan, who sows scandal and division in the Church, though without ever uttering my name”.

Jesus later told the Examiner "Pope Francis needs to start taking responsibility for his staff and not try to pass the buck, the Devil was busy convincing people to vote for Trump while alot of these scandals occurred anyway"

There is a reason why sex scandals are rampant in the Catholic Church and not the Christian church. Catholics don't pray to god. They worship Mary more than Jesus. They do their own thing

Not really. Christians believe the devil is the one who brings evil into the world.

This is not news. It doesn't change free will, however, as he also says...

When they sin, they're allowing themselves to be corrupted/tempted and must try to fight it.

No the earth is Satan's kingdom. All we complain and moan about is of the devil. You hate god is of the devil. Heck even complaining is from the devil because you could be complaining about the very same thing that could elevate you but you're too busy complaining
