Press TV: How genuine were the US bishops in their efforts to help sexual abuse victims that the Pope praised them for it?
James: Your previous guess used the word hypocrisy quite frequently, and I have to do likewise. We have an expression in America called blowing smoke, which is when somebody basically lies to the public in order to avoid discussing the issues, and that is what Pope Francis is doing. The fact is, and your intro’s absolutely right, the Catholic Church has been doing nothing but obstructing justice and has been penalizing the families and the victims of sexual abuse by these priests, by dragging on the court cases, using their lawyers to fight on behalf of the sex abusers instead of along the families to get a final conclusion to these cases. No greater hypocrisy could possibly be happening in the Catholic Church than what is going on right now with this sex abuse case.
