Pope Francis suggests that the devil is behind the sex-abuse cover up scandal in the Catholic church
Reports state that although he did not mention the allegations of sex abuse cover-up directly, he appeared to refer to the Theodore McCarrick scandal.
Pope Francis on Wednesday claimed that Satan has been unchained and that he has it in for the bishops who have been accused of covering-up a series of sexual abuse cases, a major scandal which has engulfed the Catholic church over the recent months.
The pontiff made a statement that the devil "had it in" for bishops "in order to scandalize the people", according to the Daily Mail. Reports state that although he did not mention the allegations of sex abuse cover-up directly, he appeared to refer to the Theodore McCarrick scandal.
