how much more diffuse and ephemeral can the catholic church get on cracking down on pedo priests ?

* suing victims

* suing victims families

* concealing assets from lawsuits

* shielding perps from criminal charges

* denying abuse has occurred

* rotating perps to new parishes and not revealing to that parish reason for reassignement

* procuring fresh victims for their pedos

* resisting external recommendations for providing safety for children

* resisting internal recommendations for providing safety for children

* back tracking on even meager improvements forced upon the church

* and doing all of the above for 1500 years (at least), by THEIR OWN ADMISSION !!

Quote:Court documents show church leaders, parents did not report sexual assault of child

Quote:The affidavit shows the head pastor, Darrell Ferguson, and the girl’s adoptive parents agreed not to report the sexual assault to police or social services because they were concerned with what would happen to Wyatt.
Another congregation member reported it to police because it appeared there was no concern about the impact of the crime on the child.
That whistleblower said despite admitting the sexual relationship, Ferguson allowed Wyatt to continue going to church and crossing paths with the girl.
Police also contacted the girl’s adoptive parents whose reactions were unexpected.
According to the court documents, the father told police he wouldn’t let their daughter talk to them and “felt biblical counseling they would receive through the church was sufficient."

All jesus freaks are fucking sick motherfuckers.

I hope CPS rescues that child soon.

You know I got a feeling that people go into clergy to have sex with kids and then pray for punishment.

Also I remember reading in one of the books by an ex Catholic priest and early XX. century critic of Church, Joseph McCabe, how an old Catholic priest, who had high position in Vatican, told him that there is a lot of corruption in Vatican and Rome and that that same clergy considers that corruption is actually proof of the divinity of Catholic Church! How? It was quite simple: "If the Catholic Church were not divine, the sins of its clergy would have destroyed it ages ago." So his ecclesiastical professor had taught him, and he sincerely believed. Possibly many a simple Christian believes that his Church could not have survived all its blunders unless the Holy Spirit had been there.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY same:

A soon-to-be-released book about Cardinal Pell contains detailed claims that he sexually abused two choirboys at St Patrick's Cathedral in Melbourne in the late 1990s.

The alleged abuse is said to have occurred after the introduction of the Melbourne Response, the compensation scheme for clerical sexual abuse victims established in 1996 by Cardinal Pell, when he was Archbishop of Melbourne.  

The book, Cardinal: The Rise And Fall of George Pell, also contains new information about the child abuse cover-up within the church, including allegations that he knew about paedophile priests earlier than he claimed.  

The boys, who were both students at St Kevin's College in Toorak and sang in the choir at St Patrick's Cathedral in East Melbourne, were allegedly abused in a back room of the church.

  I vote he gets treated like Giordano Bruno.

If the church is full of sin, yet still exists, then it just means there is no god, or their god is also corrupt and evil. Given that Jesus was very anti wealth, it's a wonder why anyone would consider the vatican a holy place for christianity.

*DUH* Welcome to the world of endless rationalization. If you believe something is god and that god is above everything, then you'll do anything to rationalize his goodness and existence no matter what, because he is even above the truth. So how can truth hurt him since he is above it? You know he is in "another dimension".

Pope frank is no different than the rest of the pervert fucks.

Holy crap. That Pope is worse than Trump if that's what he's really advocating.

Now there is a phrase one would not expect to see often.  "Worse than Trump."

Mind-boggling concept!

He is though if he's allowing more children to get raped. I can't think of anything more awful than that.
