"Neither Francis nor Leo responded to "The Prayer of the Prey," which documents cases of truly egregious clerical sexual abuse. Any Catholic who clicks on and watches "The Prayer of the Prey" cannot help but be ashamed of being a member of the Roman Catholic Church, headed by popes and bishops who tolerate predator priests like former Father Jacob Bertrand who satanically abused Rachel Mastrogiacomo, and priests like Father Dennis Hanneman who was reported to the Antelope County Sheriff's Department for having insert consecrated hosts, rosaries, and candles into the lower orifices of at least two girls, including Lisa Roers, featured in "The Prayer of the Prey." This behavior is not only sick and evil, but the cover-up and spiritual betrayal by Church leaders often proves more devastating to victims than the actual abuse.

Despite the fact that Roers appealed her abuse to both Pope Francis (on September 30, 2024) and Pope Leo XIV (on March 15, 2025), she has yet to hear back from either Pope Leo or Omaha Archbishop Michael McGovern after writing to the Archdiocese on numerous occasions, most recently on November 11, 2025. Unfortunately, while the media reported faint promises uttered by Leo who staged a photo shoot with a few abuse victims at the Nunciature in Madrid, they avoid interviewing U.S. victims like Roers and Mastrogiacomo, whose cases demonstrate not only cover-ups by both popes, but also by prelates like Cardinal Robert McElroy, retired Archbishop George Lucas, and current Omaha Archbishop Michael McGovern."

No doubt some of them will, but other than saints I couldn't tell you specifics about the eternal situation of any given prelate or other person for that matter. Those engaged in protecting the child abuse should be held accountable, and there are many Catholics who are trying to do just that. Do you have any other insights/arguments on this subject?

First, I just copied the title of the article.

Second, res ipsa loquitur.

Third, as a practicing Roman Catholic I don't feel the need to do anything other than offer this article for consideration. I don't personally know if all, some or none of it is true, but I think we all know based on the track record of the Church over the last 60-70 years that it is very likely that much of it is true.

Last, my family was directly harmed by the evil perpetrated by some of the prelates of the Church as two of my uncles, one of whom was my godfather who killed himself at 31, were sexually assaulted by a priest who was bounced around by the Church. My grandparents never got an apology. So, when I see something like the Prayer of the Prey, I wish to share it so that other victims, potential victims and their families can realize that some of the people running our Church are bad and that they are not alone in their experiences.

" ETA: anyone trying to "shame" people for living out their faith is misguided plain and simple. Listening to them is a waste of time."

I have no idea what this means.

I just took the question at face value, didn't see article title. I couldn't agree more with you, it's certainly true and a horrible scandal that continues, and we are going to need more vigilante investigators to get the whole story and expose the corruption until the prelate within the Church do what's needed. I think you've shared that story before but I'll be praying for your godfather and family. Also idk how that Latin applies in the general sense, I did look it up but it confused me ha.

Two links to the same thing.

How likely is it that the Bishop in whose diocese this is happening will do NOTHING about this?

This is from one of four out-and-affirming Catholic churches within the Archdiocese of New York. These are the Pride month Catholic activities in town.

Hot Dykes and Transgendered Muslims, in Catholic parishes and the new Catholic Archbishop of New York, as with his predecessors, will say or do nothing.

Absolutely I think a bunch of Popes and Bishops will burn in hell. They're the epitome of "to whom much is given much is required". They were given charge of a church, and they will be judged on how they led their flock.

With that being said, I think the church has made great strides in cracking down on abuse, first hand I know the vetting and background checks I've had to go through to be a volunteer coach of my kids' sports teams at their Catholic school.

AND I am just basing this off of gut feeling, I don't know anything about the cases in question, there must be more to the story.

Many suspect that the archbishop is a fellow traveler.

He does seem……Synodal
