MESSAGE TO THE WORLD:STOP BLOODY CATHOLIC PRIESTS CRIMES

THE PLANA BAIXA MIRROR RESPONSE TO THE FAMOUS LAST W.END THE ECONOMIST PUBLISHER LETTER

Unfortunately the church's most important cornerstone sometimes turnes to be a very fragile one: the so-called "misericordia" that's to say the mercy and the pardon that anyone can obtain only by putting on knees in front of a priest confessing "Forgive-me-Father-for-I-am-a-sinner" The abuse of the Sacrament of Confession (up to an extent for which it ends up, to put it in a French sentence, "tout comprendre c'est tout pardonner") and the subsequent automatic absolution have both, I think, very much to do with the Church's reticence about its paedophile's priest. Time has come for the Church to put an end or at least to think again on this principle. It can last any longer the fact that anybody, for heinous the crime committed, can go in peace after having confessed in all secrecy and having expressed its regret. The secrecy and silence of one' own conscience can't and must not cover the "silence of the lambs"
