Gentle reminder:

The church higher-ups criticizing Francis for knowing about the abuse and doing nothing...also knew about the abuse and did nothing.
They don't like his more moderate social positions and are trying to use this issue (which has been an issue for many decades and many prior popes) to pressure him into resigning, so a new pope w/ more hard-line positions (maybe even...one of them....) can take power.

Hopefully Catholics don't fall for it, but....they probably will.

Gentle reminder:

Francis very openly defended a Chilean bishop involved in one such cover-up. And, of course, Francis very frequently takes positions antithetical to the church such as promoting homosexuality.
