La Repubblica, an Italian newspaper, who reportedly had a conversation with the head of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis on the 10th of July, came out with a disturbing publication on the 13th of July, quoting the alleged pontiff's words concerning Paedophiles in the Catholic Church.
"Among the 2% who are paedophiles are priests, bishops and cardinals. Others, more numerous, know but keep quiet. They punish without giving the reason," Pope Francis was quoted as saying."I find this state of affairs intolerable,"he went on.
Fr. Federico Lombardi of the Holy See Press Office however countered the report, pointing out 'explicit acknowledgment'of making "a manipulation for naive readers" in the interview.
