There is a hugedifference between a 30 year old female teacher banging a 17 year old kid. And a Priest ass raping a 12 year old boy.
Both are horrible issues of broken trust. But please don’t tell me they are the same thing.
It isn’t a better descriptor. The psych pigs just invented it to remove some of the stigma associated with raping 11, 12, 13, etc year-old boys. Anybody who uses it is just an enabler of sodomite rapists.
Vatican mob(n)sters bring alternative new meaning to, “Suffer the children”...
Vatican reveals how many priests defrocked for sex abuse since 2004 - CBS News
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/vatican-reveals-how-many-priests-defrocked-for-sex-abuse-since-2004/
The data showed that since 2004, the Vatican had received some 3,400 cases, had defrocked 848 priests and sanctioned another 2,572 to lesser penalties.
There are over 410,000 Catholic priests around the world, according to the Catholic News Service.
~ So, what your saying is that a Priest is less likely to sodomize a boy than the average population? ~
That is not what I say, that is what the professor says!
Philip Jenkins (born April 3, 1952) is in 2013 the Distinguished Professor of History at Baylor University in the United States, and Co-Director for Baylor’s Program on Historical Studies of Religion in the Institute for Studies of Religion.
He is also the Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Humanities Emeritus at Pennsylvania State University (PSU). He was Professor (from 1993) and a Distinguished Professor (from 1997) of History and Religious studies at the same institution; and also assistant, associate and then full professor of Criminal Justice and American Studies at PSU, 1980–93.
Jenkins was born in Port Talbot, Wales in 1952 and studied at Clare College at the University of Cambridge, taking double first–class honours in both History and Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic Studies. Jenkins then studied for his PhD under the supervision of Sir John Plumb among others. Between 1977 and 1980, Jenkins worked as a researcher for Sir Leon Radzinowicz, the pioneer of criminology studies at Cambridge.
In 2002 Jenkins, who is a Catholic-turned-Episcopalian, discussed the Catholic sex abuse cases by asserting that his “research of cases over the past 20 years indicates no evidence whatever that Catholic or other celibate clergy are any more likely to be involved in misconduct or abuse than clergy of any other denomination—or indeed, than non-clergy.
However determined news media may be to see this affair as a crisis of celibacy, the charge is just unsupported.”
Truth to power, Bingo!
Vatican mob(n)sters continue their deception and obstruction of justice to this very day.
Can you imagine any other legitimate organization where leadership REFUSED to “introduce a policy of mandatory reporting of abuse allegations to the police”?
Any other org would be held liable for failure to prevent sexual child abuse of children in their care!

Pope Francis told to hand priests over to police as new Vatican child abuse commission starts work - Telegraph

On Thursday the Pope sent a letter to bishops around the world, ordering them to cooperate with the commission.
“Everything possible must be done to rid the Church of the scourge of the sexual abuse of minors and to open pathways of reconciliation and healing for those who were abused,” he wrote.
“Families need to know that the Church is making every effort to protect their children ... priority must not be given to any other kind of concern, whatever its nature, such as the desire to avoid scandal, since there is absolutely no place in ministry for those who abuse minors.”
But he stopped short of ordering bishops to introduce a policy of mandatory reporting of abuse allegations to the police.<-—***
“Again, a Pope talks the talk on abuse while refusing to take even one real step toward walking the walk,” said David Clohessy, the director of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, or SNAP.
RE: “All the apologetics miss the one sin that has put the church in the position that it’s in. They aggressively hid and covered up for the pedophiles. Priests were not slapped on the face on the church steps and driven away.”
Lies. Not even worth a response...
It’s a bullshit number. Really, statistically you cannot normalize two groups that are that different in size.
Re: Post # 66
From the link, ““I told him that abuse screwed up my life in a very significant way. I’m 57 and I still have weekly therapy. Some people can’t hack it and end up taking their lives. Abuse desecrates a child’s body and spirit but when it is done by someone representing God it adds a really disgusting, evil dimension.”
Agreed. But consider the source ~ SNAP has an agenda, and nothing they have to say has any value (or credibility) for me.

Unbelievable -
You are provided PROOF that the Vatican mafia GodFather REFUSES to demonstrate due care and due diligence to remedy a long history of Enabling THOUSANDS of Pedophile priests to perpetrate sexual child abuse, and you dismiss the reality of the issue because you don’t like one of the victim advocacy groups.
RCC fosters moral tone deafness.
News article Clearly points out the Vatican REFUSES to implement a policy Mandating Bishops report pedophile priests to law enforcement, as is the case in public, private schools, daycare, scouts, camps, churches and sports organizations who are responsible for children safety.

I don’t deny (or dismiss the reality) of the abuse. I was only pointing to the SNAP members who later admitted to perjuring themselves. Follow the money!
