Vatican/clerical abuse updates

As for the comment:
"The recent clergy abuse stories coming out of Europe and South America are not surprising but we have to be reasoned letting good data and logic inform us rather than relying on myths, anger, and hysteria."
There is a lot of true stories than can be corraborated by others of the boys at a Philadelphia orphanage. Rectal bleeding had become a problem with the dormatory with the youngest boys. Anal penetration was condoned by the homosexual staff. Boys masterbating others was tolerated by those homosexuals in charge. One particular school teacher, had a number of boys he would perform oral sex on. I, personally was molested almost weekly over a period of three and a half years. Although the Grand Jury in Philadelphia said they would be calling those with law suits to testify, I was never called.
The lesson of the church is if you can keep your bad behavior out of the public long enough, it is as if it never happened.
I tried to bring charges against the Philadelphia police who investigated my complaint. I was not permitted to. The police had changed the complaint as if it was an isolated incident, rather than a three plus year event.
And finally, excommunication. I was excommunicated from the Catholic Church because I would not give up the last names of young boys having sex. When, during confession, Father Miller asked "What were the names...". I made up two first names and offered them to him. "What are their last names?" I told him I did not know. The next time I went to confession, my only sin was "French" kissing a girl. One time. I was surprised when Father Miller began speaking a lot of latin. I remained excommunicated for about six weeks. Anyway, this happened a long time ago, but there are still many witnesses alive. The events described above happened 1960 to May of 1964.
Oh, Father Charles Miller never made the list of priests you don't want babysitting your children when you go out.

WHAT JESUS OF JERUSALEM REALLY SAID:

"Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples saying, 'The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments; And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues; And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi! Rabbi!!

But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in Heaven.

Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves'."

BEN16@VANTICANGATE...Why was the truth held back when it always comes out?

As the Swiss President suggested, we need an online "hebephile" priest registry so Cadinals and Bishops can no longer play "pass the pervert" from parish to parish.

The canon law!! isn't that an oxymoron? Which damn organization in this entire world gets to adjudicate the criminal violations of their members outside of the law of the land. This is absurd and instituting extra legal mafioso type organization at the abetting of the national governments. Does a member of Church of England offered this kind of latitude?

Now coming to the issue of this Benedict Arnold's resignation, ee all know these resignations do not happen voluntarily, unless of course someone has great pangs of conscience, or is incapacitated and has sense to get out. Just like in case of Nixon, the situation got so ugly that everyone came up to him and nudged out of the white house. In a similar manner when the embarrassment crosses the tipping point (which cannot be known till it occurs) then the rest of the scum in the college will push him off the cliff and claim it was all done voluntarily. Mr. Ratzinger will of course will be mouthing of all kinds of homilies and attest to him leaving the stuff voluntarily. He probably will also get a fine golden parachute too. Lets all hope that tipping point is not anywhere around the corner, because longer it takes to reach the tipping point more we will learn about the corruption and more likely greater numbers of laity will be grossed out and leave the debauched Church, that it is.

William Donohue (president of The Catholic League) seems most concerned with protecting the Pope with no concern or compassion for the victims of the abuse.
