What I'm reading says he basically hit on other priests and 18 plus seminarians. He put a hand on a shoulder or knee, invited people to his rooms, and had consensual gay sex. Is there more to the accusation that I'm missing? I set nothing about children or rape or even like forced kissing or grabbing guys junk. I must be missing something.
No, I think you are right actually. I initially thought children were involved, but as I am reading more sources and re reading, it's looking like he just slept with adults....

If that is the case, it kind of makes more sense why Pope Francis would be forgiving of him and not kick him out of the church. I don't know, I'm still trying to figure out exactly what's going on.
Umm. Sexual harassment of adults, while perhaps less repugnant than sexually abusing children, is hardly an excuse for Bergoglio's behaviour in this specific case.
