theweaselkingPope: "We deeply regret not covering up the rape of children faster or more effectively."
No, really. Read what he actually said: He said the Church's response (which was to cover up, conceal, and enable) was too slow and not effective enough at it's intended goals.
At NO POINT did he actually say anything like "we should not still be raping children and we should not still currently as of this moment be covering it up and obstructing investigations." He only says that what they did, which was rape children and lie about it, wasn't as fast or as effective as he wanted it to be.
