What is it about the Catholic church with all the perverts being protected BY THE CHURCH for decades?
This happens again and again, the world over.
Church of perverts ping, Alex.
“Church of perverts ping, Alex.”
*sigh*
You might want to reread the articvle the last institutions closed in the early 90’s so this isn’t anything new just another story rehashed. As per the article the abuse was also from “older inmates”.
If the truth be told, all state run orphanages had these problem whether they were religious or not. Our own fostercare system still has the same problem. People who enjoy hurting children gravitate towards working in areas where they can do what they please.
From the thread Kneeling Before The World [Catholic Caucus]...
What are they all so afraid of? The truth, it seems. [Faithful Departed author Philip] Lawler points out that while less than five percent of American priests have been accused of sexual abuse, some two-thirds of our bishops were apparently complicit in cover-ups. The real scandal isn't the sick excesses of a few dozen pedophiles, or even the hundreds of priests who had affairs with teenage boys -- the bulk of abuse cases. No, according to Lawler, it is the malfeasance of wealthy, powerful, and evidently worldly men who fill the thrones -- but not the shoes -- of the apostles. In case after case, we read in their correspondence, in the records of their soulless, bureaucratic responses to victims of psychic torture and spiritual betrayal, these bishops' prime concern was to save the infrastructure, the bricks and mortar and mortgages. Ironically, their lack of a supernatural concern for souls is precisely what cost them so much money in the end.
I’m not even Catholic, hell I’m agnostic, but painting the entire Catholic church as you have done (some 1.1+ billion people) on the basis of what a teeny minority has done is hardly the product of a conservative mind.
