Pope Francis at St. Patrick's | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: The cross metaphor has always had a double meaning - to carry a cross beam to build a church and to accept the suffering of the cross - which was as much an emotional trial as physical torture ending with the call to God in abandonment. Once one really gets that concept, the worldly things are not important. Worldly things like preserving property when the victims of abuse must be paid or covering up abuse to guard the reputation of the Church (that one backfired).
If women had been in charge, there may not have been a cover up like this one - at least they would not have let the lawyers play hardball. Maybe its the sisters who should be in charge of investigating child abuse claims, with the authority to make it matter.
As for the peace of the Pope and most of his bishops, they give the greating Peace be with you when priests say The Lord be with you. We know what happens from scripture when one wishes peace on another.
