This is related to Pizzagate because the problem of child abuse is system wide and pizzagate is enabled by this societal problem. Thus a backlog of sex abuse cases by the Catholic Church is symptomatic of the slow response in society as a whole. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/05/14/pope-francis-acknowledges-2000-case-backlog-in-sex-abuse-cases.html

"Pope Francis acknowledged Saturday that the Vatican has a 2,000-case backlog in processing clerical sex abuse cases and says criticism of the slow pace was justified. But he says more staff are being added and insists the Vatican is "on the right path."

Francis was making his first comments about the criticism leveled at the Vatican's handling of sex abuse cases by Marie Collins, an Irish abuse survivor who resigned from Francis' sex abuse advisory commission in March. Collins quit because of what she said was the "unacceptable" level of resistance within the Vatican to implementing the group's proposals to better care for victims and protect children from priests who rape and molest them"

I think that the Pope sets the tone for the rest of society as to how to stall and attempt to stifle the increasingly strong public revulsion with the issue. This is shameful.
