Pope Benedict the sixteenth described in his legal reforms relating to the sexual abuse of minors by clerics as a spiritual crime is a crime against the faith. When you violate a legal obligation i have no problem delineating that as a violation of the law it's it should be legally punishable if you violated a legal obligation you should be able to be punished legally. The Catholic Church has been accused of covering up for clergy sex abuse crisis and cover-up for decades, says Pope Francis.
