Sadly, every Catholic that has contributed their hard earned resources to build schools and carry out the missions of their church has been victims too.
They've been defrauded as the money they gave to build up their parish is now going to pay for those who preyed upon them and their children.
It's like a tax on the sheep to support the wolves.

They already cried about a vanity by Celtic Cross tonight and had it locked.

Yes, and even before the caucus was removed there were protestants weighing in. I’ve placed my vanity on my profile, at the bottom, for anyone whose interested.

Demonization of the Catholic Church.
EVIL RAPES and EVIL covers that darkness - that's where the demonization is - the priests and those who cover for them. Are you saying the DA is a demon because he exposed it?

I lost a lot of respect for this site since signing up.
It was hard to see the bias just from lurking.

Alas, it seems the protestant slate isn’t clear either.

It goes far beyond the criminal actions of some. The militant Protestants who post here try to tear down every aspect of our Catholic faith.
Keep wasting your time if it releases endorphins. Everybody has their own choice of drug; keep in mind that hate is one of the more dangerous ones.
To: Celtic Cross
You mean the pointing the finger tactic? No I didn’t see it but that tactic is a comfort tactic for those who want the focus off of them. Nothing new under the sun - the other guy did it, so all is well. And the RCC continues after MANY MANY YEARS of covering the raping of children.
To: D-fendr; Pope Pius XII
I agree. I’m not responding to any of the haters until the end of Lent.
Let’s see what they’ll do with themselves without Catholics around.

If they had taken the proper steps in the first place, it would have never had to get so far.The Catholic Church didn't respond as quickly as many would have liked, but now HAS addressed this issue, largely because of the efforts of then Cardinal Josef Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI. All Dioceses in the US have programs in place to screen any and all volunteers who come into contact with children. I've been subject to background checks several times because of my positions as Classroom volunteer, and Religious Education teacher, in addition to Girl and Boy Scout activities. The formation of priests has also been addressed, and young men with obvious homosexual tendencies are no longer being allowed into Seminaries.
There are many religious denominations who have suffered from the same problems, we just haven't heard as much about them.

It’s best for all. When we try to hurt someone, we hurt ourselves. Best not to provide the opportunity for another and much better to spend the same effort in prayer for peace and healing.
Have a blessed Lent.

Honestly if someone besides the orignal poster had posted this I would have taken it as a simple reporting of fact without an ulterior motive. But....
I am sure this same person will be quick to report any good done by the Church and her members.
My opinions on the facts presented are in my other replies. This is just an explanation of some reaction. It is not a reaction to the facts but to the person posting.

I agree.
But before departing for Lent;
I often think of the fact that even Our Lord had one who betrayed Him, yet—weak as they were—the other 11 remained and were gifted with the strength of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
There they were told to go out and tell the Good News to all the people. Did they go out and talk endlessly about the betrayer Judas? was that their evangelizing style?
No, they talked “about the wonderful things of God”.
So I find it difficult to see any productive evangelizing coming from a relentless pursuit of ugly (true, yes, but ugly) stories of priests who have been as Judas to their calling. Is that “good news” evangelizing to those who do this?
Do 97+% faithful priests have to be unjustly branded and thrown over the cliffs in order to get a message out about the Lord Jesus?
Or have our betrayer priests become the ready tool for rants against the whole Catholic Church?
If that is so, it may very well prove to be quite counter-productive.
I agree, D-fendr-—”best to leave these threads”
I am gone for Lent.

Welllllll, yeah . . .
the biased actions on the part of some mods in behalf of the RC’s is very plain and annoyingly frequent, to the Proddys eyes and standards.
That brigade force of RC’s ready to sit on the abuse button in a flash whenever their shallow-thin-skinned sensibilities get rattled are clearly a force to jerk the system around far too successfully far too often.

I am fairly certain that Proddys didn’t complain at all.
But I’ll ask.
Hey—Proddys, did any of our group complain in any way to the mods about that thread, title, designation?
I doubt it. I suspect the mods dealt with it on their own awareness given how brazen it was.

I think you have properly identified the danger and the solution.

try to tear down every aspect of our Catholic faith.
IF this didn't happen Catholic church official face criminal charges it wouldn't be posted. What part of that is not true? If it weren't posted - would the Catholic church official face criminal charges be any less true?
NO! Having exposure to news is what FR is all about. You may not like the news but you came to this thread anyway to what? Accuse the originator of the thread? How lame is that. She didn't create the news, the priests and the official did; she didn't expose it - the DA did - and the DA was doing his job.
What do you want - only threads that make the RCC 'appear' good? That's media thinking - propaganda. Clue: No one needed to read this to know the RCC/vatican is way way off base - their history, their teachings prove it. This 'event' is showing the result of such.
If you don't want to know what's happening in your own organization, don't click on the link. It won't change what's happening inside of it one way or another.
The militant Protestants who post here try to tear down every aspect of our Catholic faith.
First no one can tear down what is solid. The DA is exposing the actions of the priests and official. It is their EVIL actions torn down what their church claims to believe. NOT only their evil actions but covering up the evil actions. How solid was that church with evil roaming about? Now - who is doing the tearing down?
Militant? Perhaps if the catholics had been more militant against this activity of their church instead of their head in the sand years ago you wouldn't need others to show you the obvious. Now the church is being FORCED publicly.
Keep wasting your time if it releases endorphins. Everybody has their own choice of drug; keep in mind that hate is one of the more dangerous ones.
I wasted too much of my time in the RCC. So NOW I use my time wisely and when I can I enlighten others, I WILL do it. Those who are seeking for Truth, find it. Those who say I'm wasting my time, I agree. Some are determined to find out the hard way and that's no skin off of my nose. I don't hate - those who are enlightened now, KNOW I didn't have to take my time showing them THE TRUTH of GOD'S WORD happen to love me for it as I do the one that showed me where THE TRUTH is. The others aren't my problem for It is Written many choose the wide road.
When one is SO BLESSED like I am - the only thing I hate is evil that wanted to rob me of my blessings! But it didn't happen - PRAISE GOD!! Thank You, JESUS!
