Rent 'Deliver Us From Evil' documentary from NetFlix. This bishop sounds just like Father Oliver O'Grady, the priest at the center of the LA diocese pedophile scandal.
These pedophile priests are worse than The Devil, itself.
When I first read this story it did literally make me sick to my stomach. How can they make such smug statements? How can these men of the cloth demonstrate such a complete lack of compassion for abused children? How can they claim to serve Jesus whilst engaging in such purely political efforts to avoid responsibilty for their actions?
At first I believed the line that this was just a few isolated incidents (not that that would excuse it), but it seems like the more they talk and the more evidence arises, the more clear it becomes that this is a pervasive culture in the hierarchy of this church. They are twisted, self-serving and apparently corrupt to the core.
So they can just go ahead and keep running their mouths, blaming the victims and refusing any personal and organizational responsibility. I can't help but think that one day the people will have had enough and then they will take matters into their own hands.

Amazingly, there was a similar story, almost exactly at the same time of Avarez's remarks. This time a Calgary pastor who blamed his victim, in court, this time a four-year-old girl.

I am just sitting here with my mouth gaping open, at a loss for words.
Have they no shame?

Heartbreaking. He ruined her life before it even got started.
Yep, that's a common excuse for pedophiles. It's also a good way to get them to confess when you are interrogating them too. It's amazing what lengths people will go to in order to justify their crimes.
