We should nt be angry because the pope acts under the power of delusion , but for Buddha there go "I"

Welcome Hurtgen

I would say voicing concern is not anger.

The Buddha taught three trainings, not one. The Buddha taught non-harming, concentration and insight (emptiness).

There is a social expectation the Pope act with more decisiveness.

My impression is the Pope is a little "lost" in the Christian doctrine of forgiveness, often in the same way some Buddhists become a little lost in the Buddhist doctrine of emptiness.

At least in the Buddha's Vinaya, if a monk commits sexual intercourse, they are disrobed. At least in the Buddha's Sangha, transgressions of the monks & nuns are not covered up.

Similarly, Jesus said, whoever harms a child, it is better for than person to have a millstone tied to their neck and they be cast into the sea.

Although forgiveness & abiding in emptiness do not allow anger to arise, they are not inactive. Forgiveness & abiding in emptiness still take appropriate action when human beings are being harmed.

If the Pope has acted to cover up crimes of sexual abuse, certainly he should not be treated in a manner different than the common law of society.

Kind regards
