HELENA, Mont. — The Roman Catholic Diocese of Helena filed for bankruptcy protection Friday in advance of proposed settlements for two lawsuits that claim clergy members sexually abused 362 people over decades and the church covered it up.

Fucking criminals.

GENEVA — A sharply critical United Nations panel accused the Vatican on Wednesday of putting its reputation and interests above those of children who had been sexually abused by priests. It called on the Vatican to immediately remove all known or suspected molesters from their posts and report them to civil authorities.

“The Holy See has not acknowledged the extent of the crimes committed, has not taken the necessary measures to address cases of child sexual abuse and to protect children, and has adopted policies and practices which have led to the continuation of the abuse by and the impunity of the perpetrators,” said the panel, the Committee on the Rights of the Child.

I wonder how many priests would be left if they did that.

If you include all the ones who knew and did nothing there would be no one left to turn out the lights.

Vatican claims UN child sex abuse report is ‘prejudiced’ against Catholic Church

Eat shit, your Ass-Holiness!

[Cyberman]

If the report is biased then it's against those who are raping kids. That the Ratican equate that with their church means they've practically admitted the whole thing.

Whoops... little slip up.

Pope Francis inadvertently demonstrated his own fallibility during an address in St Peter’s Square when he mistakenly said the Italian word for “fuck”.

His native language is Spanish, of course. Minor amusement

PHILADELPHIA Archbishop Charles J. Chaput apologized Saturday to victims of sexual abuse by the Catholic clergy and referred to "the negligence of the church's pastors" in allowing it to occur.

"I apologize on behalf of the church," Chaput said in his homily at a late-afternoon "Mass for Healing for Victims of Clergy Sexual Abuse," attended by some 250 people.

Praying is cheap....but when it comes to money...

One of the protesters was State Rep. Mark Rozzi, a Berks County Democrat who has been trying to extend the state's statute of limitations to permit criminal prosecution of child abusers whenever their victims choose to come forward, and to provide a window for victims to file civil lawsuits, whenever the abuse occurred.

The Pennsylvania Catholic Conference, a powerful Harrisburg lobby led by Chaput, has opposed the bills, Rozzi said.

"You would think an organization that preaches taking care of its own would step up and take responsibility," Rozzi said. "The church is turning its back on victims."

Uh-huh.

"At worst this is a cynical public relations move,"

Pope Francis has formally accepted the resignation of a senior German Church leader suspended over his alleged lavish spending.

The Vatican made the announcement in a statement on Wednesday.

Bishop of Limburg Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst has been accused of spending more than 31m euros (£26m) on renovating his official residence.

What's 31 million euros compared to a vow of "poverty" eh, fuckers?

Dumb fucks.
