Fr. Raymond de Souza, Catholic Herald - Cardinal Reinhard Marx, one of the Holy Father’s closest advisers, spoke frankly about records not being kept, or even being “destroyed” to cover up abuse. That it happened is by now well known, but that it was said openly by such a senior voice is new. That too cannot be unsaid... What will come of the summit? Here the contradictions arise, which does not mean that nothing will happen, but rather that it is not yet clear.
