The police and prosecutors didn't bother to bring charges.
The local bishop(s) all dropped the ball.
But everything is the Vatican's fault. The agenda is completely transparent.
OH, I agree that there is an agenda here. But the Church is helping it!
The answer is not to ignore this to thwart the agenda- it is to CLEAN HOUSE so the agenda is useless!
22 years ago is STILL happening. The mindset is still there, up to the Vatican. You think it’s not?
Look at it this way- it took this long to hear about this extreme case, how many less extreme will we never hear about because the protectionist mindset still dominates? How many will we hear about 20 years from now?
This is about civil law and child abuse AND church law and breaking vows. BOTH sets of laws should be enforced without prejudice. Forgiveness and mercy for their souls can be discussed AFTER the deed has been lawfully punished.
Excuse it all you want, Ratzinger’s name is all over this!
But any attempt to point out his involvement or bring visibility to any abuse or cover-up by the Catholic church is considered slander and agenda driven.
I never cease to be amazed at the lengths people will go to protect pedophiles!
Actually the abuse was brought to the attention of police and church authorities in 1974. It happened appx 20-30 years before that.
