The scandals did not begin in the fifties--the John Jay study began in the fifites, a big difference. In fact, the number of abuse cases rose abruptly in 1960 during the pontificate of John XXIII--precisely at a time when clerical discipline grew more lax. By the close of the Vatican Council and throughout the late sixties and the seventies and eighties the number of abuse cases skyrocketed astronomically.

So, in your opinion the Catholic Church has been a "sinner" within a "holy" society?

I have a theory that Satan has always been lurking on the edges. Even Saint Pius X recognised it in his warnings about Moderism. But Vatican II let the cat out of bag, some of the documents are vague where before you had precision. I mean , some of the Pope own encylicals are full of gobbledy-gook - "mystery of man" and all that crap.

In other cases people just lied. The periti at the council and the Rhine Bishops just stole the show. The 1969 Missal is an abomination and I've been suffering through it all my life.

VII might have been inspired by the Holy Spirit but it has been hijacked by Satan.

If John Paul II started to take serious action against the Lavender Mafia of Satan he'd be murdered that night. He has realized it all too late.

Bernadin plugged his butt-buddies for the first 10 years of JPIIs pontificate

Padre Pio pray for us, you recognized the stain of the new Mass, help us cleanse ourselves.
