The so-called Eldest Daughter of the Church was actually a den of clerical perverts since 1950. About 3000 of them; only in France. Oh, it`s not an exact figure; some had better coverage than others and never were exposed. And things happen; like the in paper-shredders jam, eh? So the Church in France couldn`t cover it all up.
That`s in a country that separated church and state and banned religious orders (ike the Viatorians, the Oblates, the Basilians etc from teaching young children almost 120 years ago. So the Viatorians, the Oblates, the Basilians packed-up and targeted Canadian children. Native, non-native. It didn`t matter. As long as they were innocent.
And so now French Bishops (who made themselves filthy rich by charging clerical perverts to cover-up for them) will be offering interviews (preferably on TV) to perform their scripted outrage, sorrow and humiliation. Some are so good at it that they`ll cry. On cue. And they`ll say that their episcopal predecessors (they actual guys who made ’em) were morons and they know better now.
And they`ll say that they now have protocols to safeguard vulnerable people, of course.
