Pope Francis ‘won’t say a word’ about sex abuse cover-up allegations

The Pope has refused to comment on claims by a former Vatican Ambassador to the US who accused the pontiff of covering up sexual misconduct, and has urged everyone to study the allegations carefully and make up their own mind.

“I won’t say a word about it,” the leader of the Catholic Church told journalists on a plane from Ireland to Rome, when asked if he had any comments about the 11-page document that claimed that Pope Francis was aware of sexual misconduct allegations against the former archbishop of Washington, Theodore McCarrick, but kept silent about it.

Neither confirming nor denying the validity of the claims against him, the pope noted it was a matter of trust and faith, and that the document “speaks for itself,” urging everyone to read it and to decide for themselves.
