What’s Concerning Us – Why Hasn’t the Predatory Bishop Carlos Belo Been Defrocked?
- If I had a $ for every troll on Twitter...
Vos estis lux mundi, which was supposed to signal that the Church would not again tolerate abuse or administrative negligence among malfeasant bishops.
Since the McCarrick scandal broke, the Holy See has heard from scores of victims, and has promised things like “zero tolerance.” The pope has expressed a commitment to justice and transparency.
Of course, those things have not been fully realized in the case of McCarrick - U.S. Catholics continue to ask about McCarrick’s money, and how it impacted his abuse – and they’ve not yet gotten answers.
Nor have Catholics gotten clear answers in the cases of Zanchetta, or Bishop Franz-Josef Bode, or Bishop Rick Stika, or several others.
A Dutch magazine recently revealed that Bishop Carlos Belo of East Timor, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1996, is a serial rapist of teenage boys. The crimes go back decades and explain his mysterious resignation in 2002 well before he reached retirement age. But has he been defrocked since then? Of course not. For all of its PR-driven talk of “zero tolerance,” the Vatican is loath to laicize abusive bishops. The Belo case looks like a replay of the Theodore McCarrick scandal, whom the Vatican only reluctantly removed from the clerical state after his crimes came to light and caused a firestorm in the press.
The Vatican, according to Reuters, has confirmed that it “secretly disciplined East Timor bishop and Nobel Peace Prize winner Carlos Ximenes Belo two years ago, responding to allegations that he sexually abused boys in East Timor decades before.”
