Yeah, that is a wise saying and may hold true in this case.
I just don't think Francis is going to last if he continues to respond to demands for answers with, "I'm not going to say a word on the matter." People are disillusioned and royally pissed, and rightly so.
If there's legal action involved and he's not allowed to talk about it, I wish he'd just say so.
If he didn't protect and promote the child abuser, I wish he'd adamantly deny the allegations.
If he is indeed guilty, I wish he'd cop to it, explain why it happened, and outline his proposal for making amends. While he would probably get crucified for the honesty, the confession would be more respectable and closer to practicing what he preaches than being a silent hypocrite.
