Pope Francis has offered “silence and prayer” in response to allegations that he not only covered up but promoted a Washington-based cardinal accused of having sexual relations with “generations of seminarians and priests.”
“With people who lack goodwill, with people who seek only scandal, who seek only division, who seek only destruction, even within the family: [there is nothing but] silence. And prayer,” the pontiff said Sept. 3 in Rome, AFP reported.
