Abortion is a worse moral scandal than abuse by priests
Warning: very ranty and may make your blood boil. TLDR at bottom.
Like a lot of countries, Australia has been investigating old, current and new reports of abuse in religious organisations. Our Royal Commission is slowly being finalised and the skeletons have well and truly been dragged kicking and screaming from the closets. It has been a very long 5 years.
One of the major issues we have had in Victoria is George Pell. I will not give him his titles, but he is currently being protected at the Vatican and claims to be too ill to travel to Melbourne to face the victims of the priests he protected. For some very messed up reasons, he was still allowed to address the kids at World Youth day a couple of years ago. I've recently been sent part of his speech and there are no words to describe how messed up this particular part is:
'Abortion is a worse moral scandal than priests sexually abusing young people.'
This piece of scum compares getting rid of a small clump of cells to abusing living, breathing, feeling, crying children.
This piece of %&#&$%(*(*%^&@#!*) was responsible for moving priests around to new churches when children and parents complained about abuse. He told children that it was their fault. He allowed priests continued access to children even after multiple complaints from multiple families. He used intimidation and hush money to make complaints go away. He refused to answer any police questions when abuse was reported to them. He has also refused to answer most of the questions that the Royal Commission has put to him, he constantly claims he can't remember particular families or meetings. He is also believed to have destroyed records and evidence of families and individuals complaining of the abuse.
To give you an idea of the scale of the abuse, this article sums it up the best.

So far there have been no reported allegations of Pell abusing anyone, but he has been high up in the church since the late 1970's and has been part of the groups deciding where priests should be sent for most of that time.
This really hits my family because several of the priests that Pell shuffled around went through the parish that my mum grew up in. We were just very lucky that none of her siblings went to any of the extra activities beyond the normal sunday mass. Many of the kids at her school were not so lucky. They had 4 of the biggest abusers one after the other in charge of the area.
TL;DR: Scumbag priest claims abortion is worse than priests abusing children when he helped cover up abuse and moved priests that were abusing kids.
