I had to read his words to see that you really meant that he said that. He did. OMG. We have to ask for thorough investigations of whatever groups think this is natural behavior. Of course those who are involved in it think it is natural behavior. OK historians here..how much of this has always gone on in the church, how much is protected, etc. and how much is the Vatican involved? This is not a few lonely Christian Brothers in the darkest, coldest most isolated cement buildings Ireland has produced to store its orphans in...I say again this is somehow endemic and how long has it been going on and protected? How much is it entrenched in the Vatican? To say that in the 1970s this was seen as normal? No, it was not anywhere I ever was. mg
