ROME, SEPT. 4, 2009 (Zenit.org).- A hundred online pedophile communities will be disconnected and prosecuted by U.S. and Italian authorities thanks to the work of the Meter Association, founded by Italian Father Fortunato Di Noto.
ZENIT learned from the association that the networks consisted of some 18,181 people who used online community Web sites to host and exchange "thousands of images and video footage -- 27,894 pedophiliac photos and 1,617 videos -- as well as information regarding the trade of minors."
The news was further publicized by Rome's Italian police force, in cooperation with other security forces.
"Thousands of children were involved," the association added.
Father Di Noto, a native of Sicily, explained that with the aid of a team of volunteers, Meter discovered "a universe that is not virtual, but real, in which people can register and exchange pornographic material of minors -- photos, videos, even dates with minors -- through one of the most well known social networks in the United States."
The association stated that "investigators both in Italy and in the United States termed the uncovered material an 'authentic horror,' with newborns and children of a very young age as the objects of violence and sexual abuse."
Meter, which is a pioneering association in the struggle against pedophilia, worked for six months in order to deliver the current evidence to the Italian police department that deals with Internet crimes. The charges were subsequently communicated to the North American authorities.
Response
Father Di Noto, a pastor in the town of Avola, stated: "It is impossible to describe the horrors we have seen, uncovered and denounced in six months. Constant vigilance has brought unexpected results, and today we have more hope than ever that online pederasty and pedophilia, crimes against children and against humanity, can and shall be defeated."
The priest added: "There is not a nation which has not been involved. Tens of thousands of people produce, exchange and possess material, and violate children."
"This is not 'virtual' material," he asserted, "but real, so real that when you hear in the videos the children's screams of pain, when you see in the photos the faces of the newborns, you can hear the drama, the pain, the suffering."
The association stated that online social networking sites have provoked a change in the pedophiles' strategies.
Father Di Noto explained, "The social network is a double-edged sword in matters of pedophilia: On the one hand, it permits communication between pedophiles and in a certain sense, increases their possibilities; on the other hand, it is the most efficient instrument for security forces to find and disconnect their Web sites."
The priest reported that over the past five years, his association has secured 1,064 charges and reported almost 6,000 sites to the authorities.
For this reason, the founder of Meter launched an appeal, to journalists in particular, to keep public awareness us and to "not to let down the guard against this crime."
In reporting about this type of thing, he said the authorities as well as the legislators will be motivated to give an adequate response to the terrible suffering of these children.

Any in the White House so far?
They seem to have every other form of weirdo in there.
Good job by the priest to do this. I would be banned if I said what I think should happen to the perps though.
Line ‘em up.
PIng.
Facebook or MySpace?
Thank you, Father De Noto!
This priest’s investigation has uncovered more pedophiles in six months than the FBI; US Marshals; ICE; USPS; and all other LEAs have in the past ten years!!
That’s remarkable.
Yes, it is remarkable and to think those agencies had them at their fingertips.
They have the ability, but lack the will.
This is a classical example of why you don't want the government running health care or any other aspect of your life. There are too many levels of bureaucracy and plenty of bumbling idiot friends in positions of power. Consider the resources of the FBI vs a parish priest.
You make an excellent point!
I hope . . . I trust . . . please tell me it’s true . . .
that the Vatican WILL 1,000% put it’s full weight behind vigorous prosecution of such hideous creatures?
I hope so.
I was thinking I’d like to help him, but I don’t think I could stomach it.
He must have 1,000 guardian angels surrounding him to help him stomach the enormous task he has taken on.
Well, they do want to indoctrinate the children on Tuesday...
A good-news bump
INDEED.
However, gitmo, we all CAN PRAY for their efforts to take such creatures forever off the streets and off the net—preferably terminally out of contact with all human beings.
One of the more hideous issues is the rumor that . . . the . . . elite’s ruling the globe . . . require such . . .
‘activities’
for joining their club . . . a real satanic ritual of horrific proportions.
Kind of puts a new stink in the air about a certain chronically elevated nose.
My thoughts, exactly. God Bless and protect him.
Can you give us details on that?
I hope you’re not thinking that these pedophiles have anything to do with the Catholic Church just because it was a priest that busted them. The Vatican lacks any jurisdiction to do anything to prosecute these people; the most it can do is what this priest did: discover what information they could, and turn it over to civil law authorities.
I am not thinking that. Hopefully all involved will get the maximum sentence.
No, dangus. I had no assumptions of that sort whatsoever.
IIRC, That’s never been my contention.
I don’t, however, think the Vatican is left with merely praying and informing.
I think the Vatican COULD bring a LOT of political pressure and publicity pressure to bear on all levels of powers that be about this.
Trouble is, there’s lots of judges and other elites who are . . . involved.
Sorry.
It’s so distasteful to me I haven’t researched it at all.
I have read parts of occasional postings and threads hereon. And, sometimes something is listed at
ATS
Most of what I’ve come across has been ‘incidental’ mention amidst articles focusing on other aspects of the globalist monster.
At this point, I’ve seen enough mention of it over a long enough period of time from enough of a diversity of sources, I no longer consider it idle rumor but that there’s definitely some horrific fire under all the smoke.
Besides, IIRC, over a million people go missing—just plain missing every year—I think globally. That must include a lot of mangled innocent children. I don’t handle well thinking about that for very long.
I usually don’t get very angry over very much . . . but abuse of children and helpless animals angers me enormously in a flash.
One of the more specific refs to the ruling elites I read in the last 6 months asserted that initiation rituals always included buggering very young boys . . . that there was some kind of demonized super charge associated with it that was glorified and ritualized when someone [an excuse for a male] entered the ruling elite’s circles.
I had to stop reading and calm down again.
>> Can you give us details on that? <<
I will. Ever looked into college fraternities’ initiations? Bohemian Grove? Sexually depraved initiation rituals, including homosexual acts, are required for joining most fraternal social networks. Even the Catholic Church’s own lavendar mafia (see Cardinal Bernadin) used Satanic, sexual initiation rituals. A while ago, I posted John Paul II cleaned up the Catholic Church, reducing sexual abuse by 90% before the lamestream media even got wind of it. But the status of the lavendar mafia was far greater in the episcopacy than most dare imagine; if anything, the media’s insistence on lawsuits as proof of action was harmful to the efforts, and the media’s beloved hierarchs (like Bernadin) were the architects of the horrors.
The situation is far graver today outside the Catholic Church: The perverts have taken over the largest, traditional Protestant denominations (Lutherans, Presbyterians, Episcopalians), successfully driving out conservatives into tiny splinter groups like the PCA. The next shoe to fall will be the less hierarchical denominations, which lack the easy lawsuit targets (dioceses) and hierarchies, but believe me, the Pentacostalist and Baptist churches are rife with perverts.
“As in the days of Noah . . . “
and Lot . . .
has turned out to be much more horrifically true than anyone dared imagine would be the case even 25 years ago. Much more so 50-100 years ago.
Yet this horror did not just spring forth recently. Pernicious perverted human nature has been prone to such for eons . . . when the Blood and Gospel of Christ are minimized, the prevelance and severity mushroom.
Isn’t this right?:::
in addition to the horrific demonized sexual ‘thrill’ aspect . . .
there’s the CONTROL ASPECT . . . BLACKMAIL . . . keeps all the elite’s in line.
I’m not sure that the Catholic Church helps the situation by expending temporal, secular political power. But I sure do hope that they do further investigation to find ties between the pervs that have already been busted and anyone who might be in the Church. I wonder if, in fact, this priest’s motivation might partly have been to clean up the church. I sure do hope his superiors gave him any resources he needed.
Absolutely. Would it be calumnous to refer to it as the “Lindsay Graham effect”?
I hope you’re right about the priest and his superiors supporting him.
I don’t understand about L Graham. I haven’t keep up with him I guess. Has he been complicit in any such????
Sheesh!
>> has turned out to be much more horrifically true than anyone dared imagine would be the case even 25 years ago. Much more so 50-100 years ago. <<
Reading between the lines of what he wrote, I think what unhinged Luther was sexual abuse in the seminaries. As sinister as many motives I attribute him may be, I certainly think he was legitimately horrified at some evil. I think he couldn’t express that evil directly, so he projected other evils.
Raping babies???
Words fail me. Such sub human beasts need to be put down
I knew that went on with Hell’s Angels and The Huns. But not more “respectable” organizations.
I have to say I have not encountered that in Pentacostal or Charismatic churches. But I am not challenging your assertion. I hope you are wrong.
Quite conceivably.
There’s a frightful amount of homosexuality in some Pentecostal circles.
I’ve never heard of any horrific stuff with young children.
However, when there’s an authentic manifestation of Holy Spirit’s power doing the enemy damage, satan tends to target such people and groups extra hard in the worst possible ways.
This has absolutely nothing to do with the Vatican! This priest happened to come across this group and then passed the information on to US and Italian government officials. How does this involve the Vatican?
Luther was unhinged by his inability to control his own libido, alcoholism, antisemitism, paranoia and schizophrenia.
I agree.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh . . .
Perhaps it’s my error . . .
I have always understood that
all Roman Catholic priests
are utterly in submission to the Pope etc. at the Vatican.
Is this one a member of some new Order of Freelancers?
They are under submission to their bishops who, in turn ..... etc. Perhaps this will come as a surprise to you but priests actually do have a real life. At the parish level, they provide the sacraments and ensure the well being of their parishioners. Some priests also teach at local universities or serve as chaplains to religious communities, both lay and professed.
Who knows how this all began? Perhaps in the confessional? The priest is in Sicily. That alone should conjure up images of the Mafia, right? He pursued the problem and routed it out to higher authorities in government who are responsible for these matters. No doubt, there is probably a price on his head right now. Please remember him in your prayers, okay?
And ... by the way .... my parish priest, who is fluent in Arabic, offered his services to US Intelligence, following 9/11. There are quite a few Maronites, both lay and professed, who assist the US gov’t in translating messages intercepted from the Middle East. As Catholics, they feel obliged to render assistance wherever necessary.
I think that I read (back when Fr. Pfleger was under fire) that Obama bragged that he got along very well with Bernardin.
Thanks for posting. Are they going to release the names of the offending social networks?
Yes, the question, however, is why he was so powerless over these inclinations that he could not imagine that God desired to heal him of them.
His lies are quite explicit, to the point where it’s inconscienable that men of supposed good will give them any credence. For instance, with all slanders against Rome, it’s plain that he had never been there, since he did not know that the Vatican was not in Rome. On the other hand, he makes vague references to something horrible in the seminaries. Given that he cannot bring himself to name it, I believe it was something that he felt great personal shame over.
Naw, I was half kidding. Lindsay Graham is presumed to be a closeted homosexual. I think when news broke about a certain foot-tapping Republican Senator in Idaho, there wasn’t a soul in Washington who didn’t presume it was Sen. Graham.
No, what I’ve heard of wasn’t with young children, but the nature of some relationships, given the exorcisms, “healings,” etc., is just about as abusive.
Sure. Happy to pray for him.
Thanks.
At this point . . . I don’t know if helping the government with translation would be GOOD or not. I’d hope it would be. IF it was used against terrorists.
Sigh.
Hasn’t Bernardin been on the dark side for a long time?
Ahhh.
I didn’t know all that.
sigh.
