First of all, of those accused, are they be accompanied to see if their lifestyle, if contrary to the 10 Commandments, is compatible with the Catholic Faith if their conscience dictates that they have not actually committed any kind of sin or criminal action? If guilty, should this accompaniment lead to full integration into the job they have and the Church they are communicants? Just wondering how the field hospital that is the Church will treat them if they are found guilty.
Vatican investigation: laws that work and media that shames
Vatican
Judiciary investigations concerning some persons serving in Holy See
offices is proof that the processes, begun by Pope Benedict XVI and
carried out by his successor, work
.
News of investigations undertaken by the Vatican
Judiciary concerning certain persons serving in offices of the Holy See
has produced a considerable echo in the media, and understandably so.Interpretations, comments and analyses that accompanied publication of the news by the Vatican Press Office failed, however, to underline an important point: what happened on Tuesday in the Vatican proves concretely that the processes begun by Pope Benedict XVI, and carried out by Pope Francis, really work. It proves that the new laws of Vatican City State are being applied.
The structures responsible for revision and control, and those being controlled, can report any anomalies to the Vatican Judiciary, and request an investigation. The painful events made public this week are not a sign the system has failed. On the contrary, they show the system has developed antibodies capable of reacting, and that the process of reforming the Vatican’s economic and financial structures is well underway.
A second and equally important consideration needs to be made regarding what happened the day after the Vatican Press Office released the news. The individuals facing the investigation have been subjected to a media pillory, including having their photographs published, despite the fact that any possible responsibility on their part is still to be proven. Those involved in the investigation have the right to be respected in their dignity as men and women, whether they are priests, or fathers and mothers of families.
Regarding the way in which this information was divulged, and those who divulged it, an investigation has ben opened by the Vatican Judicial system.

"VATICAN NEWS IS UPSET ABOUT HOW NEWS IS BEING REPORTED, ALMOST LIKE PRESIDENT TRUMP!"
Hogwash.
Trump is upset because the reports are true.
The Vatican comment indicates that the concern is for those treated unfairly and an aspect of the story, that Vatican safeguards are working, are omitted.
I have decided to read your blog in Khmer from now on. Far more entertaining and informative that way....
ដំណឹងមិនសប្បាយចិត្តវ៉ាទីកង់អំពីរបៀបដែលដំណឹងត្រូវបានរាយការណ៍ស្ទើរតែដូចលោកប្រធាន Trump!

Your Trump nonsense is getting old. Your wooden god, Obama, was an extraordinary liar who supported intrinsic evils like abortion. If you are getting your "news" about Trump from the national media, you are getting it from a known liars league. They poll even lower than the lowest, only Abortion Party members hold them in higher esteem, due to professional courtesy
"If you are getting your "news" about Trump from the national media,..."
So the transcript of the conversation he had with the President of Ukraine which was released by the White House isn't factual? And when the White House told us that the transcript had been moved to a "special" server, that wasn't true?
And when I saw him on TV telling China to investigate the Bidens, I was hallucinating?
And when Mitch McConnell said on TV that he and other members of Congress who had voted for military aid to Ukraine had no idea why Trump had withheld that aid, McConnell was lying to us?
And when the Department of Justice, headed by Trump appointee Barr, told us the whistleblower complaint was not an "urgent concern," was the DOJ fudging?
No, TeeJay, the national media isn't the source of the information. The White House, the Attorney General, Senator McConnell, among others, are the sources.
You seem rather suspicious and judgmental. We need to be inclusive of the lying community and accompany them making sure they get the Medicine of Holy Communion which is for liars not truth tellers.
The medicine of Holy Communion is for sinners, not saints. Your are ALREADY including them in your parish, aren't you? Good man!
Anonymous,
All of what you pointed out has already blown up in the media's face.
Schiff colluded with the so-called whistle blower in violation of the rules. He is the one who may be facing obstruction of justice charges. Also, Trump's conversations with Ukraine were perfectly legal, per a treaty signed by Horndog Clintoon and ratified by the Senate, something the New York Slimes fails to point out. Drug Addict Hunter Biden and his Pop are in big trouble. Do you really think the Ukraine put a cocaine addict on its board who was thrown out of the navy, and was paid $50,000 when he had no knowledge of the oil and gas industry?
Thanks for regurgitating the Abortion Party's talking points.
Well, I don’t know about all of you, but I for one am greatly encouraged and heartened to see a paragon of virtue and integrity such as President Trump lead a crusade against corruption. I feel sure that to set a good example for everyone the President will soon reveal his tax returns and also have Rudy investigate and root out all the remaining corruption and conflicts of interest in his own Administration, family, and circle of acquaintances. Clearly a new day is dawning in America.
One also has to feel sorry for President Trump, being subjected to a barrage of criticism from day one in an attempt to de-legitimize him. My, it’s almost as if people thought he wasn’t a true American but was born somewhere else.

Stop hanging around the faculty lounge and enter the real world. President Trump's tax returns will reveal nothing other than data on his myriad of businesses. His tax returns have been scoured for decades and are probably very similar to Tom Steyer's, George Soros', and Warren Buffett's. Trump has been in the public eye for decades, so there has been very little that would be overlooked, in stark contrast to the Manchurian Candidate president who left office in January of 2017 who received a daily tongue bath from an idiot media. I never knew an editor of a law review that never wrote one single article for publication in the law review.
He should have no problem revealing them then, right?
Regarding Obama’s tenure as Editor-in-Chief (EIC) of the Harvard Law Review, you are wrong on two counts. First, you don’t have to be published to be elected EIC of a law review (although I am unfamiliar with Harvard’s particular practice, and I suspect most EICs have been published—that is true of my own Law Review, for example). Second, in any event Obama had had a case note published, and he has just been published again. Check it out. And I am the one not living in the real world? Oh sorry, I forgot, you don’t know facts about the law school world because it is not the real world. My mistake.

Dreams of MY Father was a work of pure fiction designed to fool simpleton academics and media folks. I was on Law Review at a top 10 Law School and there was never an editor who did not publish in the law review. Harvard was simply pandering, like most universities these days. Just like the Nobel Peace Prize committee giving an award to Obama before he was even inaugurated. You are about as persuasive as Mark Thomas
So, are you telling us that you are generalizing for all law reviews based on your limited experience of the one you were on? In any event, I am sure you know how to research a point. So why don’t you research the case note Obama published when he was on the Harvard Law Review instead of spreading fake news (although I realize this is Instruction #1 in the Trump Cult playbook)?
