I can think of quite a few priests right now who are faced with accusations, their names on lists published on the front pages of newspapers, who are not given the benefit of a doubt. It is guilty until proven innocent, and the innocent information gets buried pretty deep in the paper if reported at all. Thanks to all of the deviant priests who have made the priesthood a dangerous place for the good men.
Does the Vatican have any good reason, legal or otherwise, not to send their documents on Bishop Zanchetta to Argentine authorities? If there is, that would be most helpful.
On the face of it, it looks as though the Vatican is neither being transparent nor cooperative with those requesting information in Argentina --and as far as I can tell this type of non-cooperation makes the Vatican (and Church in general) appear to not be serious about obtaining justice with regard to Bishop Zanchetta, regardless of innocence or guilt.
I am willing to hear why the Vatican may or should not give the information, and also why they should, whichever the case may be. As it presently stands I can't help but think a non-answer to Argentina from the Vatican is suspicious at best...
Hm. Pope Francis gave him the benefit of the doubt. . . that leaves me with our words. Any thoughts out there on that defense?
