The pope claims that his god “weeps” because his priests abuse children.
Funny how he does a lot more than “weep” against those who piss him off in the bible:
Sodom and Gomorrah
Lot’s wife
First Born of Egypt
Sons of Aaron
Israelites who complained
More Israelites who complained that Israelites were murdered
More Israelites
Uzzah for touching his magic box to keep it upright
The child of David and Bathsheeba for David’s sins
A man who refused to hit a prophet because the prophet said hit him.
42 kids who insulted Elijah for being bald
Sapphira and Ananias
And more to be found here.
Poor ol’ God can’t do a damn thing to stop a rapist but you should be happy he “weeps”. God, and the pope, are quite a pair of horrible beings. One has an excuse, it’s imaginary.

It was a dangerously strange comment to make. Implying impotence of will, or inability to act?

It’s that “free will” thing. God refuses to violate the pedopriests’ free will.

That’s probably the defense, but then the god God is in fact favouring the free will of the pedopriest over the free will of the victim who is pleading for deliverance.

Well, I never said it was a good defense. And I imagine “free will” apologists would take issue with police officers who let thieves exercise their free will with the church offering. But then again, logical consistency isn’t a requirement when it comes to defending matters of faith.

how is this god’s weeping to help the children? is god powerful but unable to do a thing?

it’s the same old ‘admit the problem but don’t do anything about it” tactic used by politicians and preachers everywhere.
Gods are neither powerful or able. That’s why humans have to interpret and act upon their behalf. Then they claim it was gods will.
