Frontline’s next exposé focuses on the “decades of abuse of Native Americans by priests and other church workers in Alaska,” and in one particular town they find, “nearly 80% of the town’s children were molested” by Catholic priests.
As we reported on this story just a few weeks ago, the Roman Catholic Church, as part of ongoing lawsuits, will make payments to approximately 700 male and female sexual and psychological abuse, molestation, and rape victims who were living in Alaska Native villages and Indian reservations from Montana to Washington, Idaho and Oregon, and who were “sexually or psychologically abused as children by Jesuit missionaries in those states in the 1940s through the 1990s,” according to a statement by attorneys.
The latest agreement will financially compensate 524 victims with $166.1 million in cases including accusations against 140 Jesuit priests, brothers, and nuns from the Oregon Province of the Society of Jesus, in the Pacific Northwest. Only $48 million will come from the Catholic Church, the remainder will be paid by its insurance companies.
None of the Jesuit priests are being charged with any crime related to this abuse, rape, and molestation settlement.

I'll be waiting for their expose on Muslim honor killings to be aired during Ramadam.
Every time you think it can’t get any worse....
Shoot them if guilty and proven.
No kidding fing douchbags
WOW.
INDEED.
Sigh.
Ah...the daily FR hatepiece.
I’m sure you take Frontline and PBS at their words on EVERY topic under the sun, right?
Yes, because the message of loving thy neighbor as thyself, and turning the other cheek rather than retaliating, and making oneself the servant rather than the master, etc., is bad, but the message teaching that killing all who don't agree with you is good.
I don't recognize the world anymore.

Be sure to whip out your credit cards during the next PBS pledge drive; they’re your kind of people. Better yet, join up with the ‘Rats and demand more taxpayer funding.
Every high profile corporation and organization will settle out of court dozens of times a year. For good reason.

I worked for the Alaska northern diocese a while back. The largest geographical diocese in the world with the fewest priest and smallest population. The jesuites were sent there and left entirely alone for years. No help, no supervision. No excuse but perspective that no one could have known these atrocities were going on.
Call your minions. This thread isn’t in the religion forum. Come out and play in the daylight and see if you can handle some hardball.
It's important that people who molest children be brought to justice.
Teachers, coaches, counselors, and pastors who molest children belong in jail.
I grieve for children who have been molested. Their lives are ruined.
Ping! The hate has been posted in News/Activism. Time to open up a can of whup-a** on this crew.
Some have an anti-Catholic agenda.
I guess some only feel better about themselves by tearing down others. Not very Christian but there we are.
Its also Child Abuse Prevention month. The priests didn’t stop raping kids just because it was holy week. What the priests did was hardly “holy”, and their higher ups covered this up through all the weeks of the year.
Also, this show was supposed to be on a few weeks earlier, but there was a change in order when they did the Bradley Manning episode.
