They are completely untrustworthy.

Yes, they are

I hate to say this, the meeting is probably about better ways to hide it, rather then stop it.

A week long conference in Vatican City, and the subject is child porn... Yeah, I think that sentence speaks for itself.

Its a chance for them all to get together and exchange email addresses.

He is referencing the "digital world." I guess that means the Vatican will help push the Elsa type youtube vids into the third world to condition the children's minds and make sure they have access to the most degenerate pornography. I wish I were being sarcastic but i'm not...

I wish you were being sarcastic too. They are sick

Uh, isn't this like a Gambler's Anonymous meeting taking place in a Casino? 2,000+ years of giving pedo priests a pass but they are now suddenly going to solve it in a week and investigate themselves? Yeah, right.

Exactly

They've been at their sick evil perversions for centuries. Why stop now? All mainstream news is a pack of LIES...this, Sandy Hook, 9-11, Las Vegas...ALL OF IT. LIES.

Although I want this to be a good thing, I find it highly suspicious. Not a good track record for the Catholic Church. To say the fucking least.

Sadly, I have to agree with you. When ever I see an article like this, talking about how they are going to protect the children, I want to roll on the floor laughing, if it were not so very sad. I am not going to hold by breath. Another Runaround.

Here is the first part of the article:

"Vatican City, Oct 3, 2017 / 03:09 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- In the keynote speech at a conference on protecting children in the digital world, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin said child safety is one of the most urgent issues of modern times, and stressed that children on the global “peripheries” shouldn’t be forgotten.

In his Oct. 3 speech, Parolin noted that technological and cultural change “is particularly fast in many countries in which social and economic progress are still very limited and unbalanced.”

Thousands of children are now growing up in the digital world in vastly underdeveloped nations, he said, which means their parents and educators “will no longer be culturally equipped to accompany them and help them grow in this world, while their governments often don’t know where to begin in protecting them.”

“We are also responsible for these children, and the businesses that promote and push the development of the digital world are also responsible for them,” he said.

Given the international and interdisciplinary approach of the conference, Parolin stressed that the participants themselves “must take responsibility for those peripheries of the world of which Pope Francis continually speaks.”

The peripheries, he said, are in geographical areas of great economic poverty, but which “are also found within rich societies, where there is considerable human and spiritual poverty, loneliness and a loss of the meaning of life.”

“It is no coincidence that it is precisely minors from these peripheries that are the preferred object of global networks of exploitation and organized violence online.”

He pointed specifically to several crimes against children: trafficking, forced conscription of child soldiers, slave labor, prostitution, drugs, all of which are compounded by inadequate education, hunger and poverty."
