It’s not forgotten, it’s just ignored by the MSM. They want to fracture and destroy organized religion. I believe Catholics are public enemy #1 because they haven’t rolled over on a lot of the social issues yet.
And in addition to that,the Catholic Church has deep pockets. It is an extremely enticing target for the many law firms and lawyers whose continued existence is dependent on drumming up victims and suing for lots of money most of which goes to the firms. In some cases they have sued again and again.
Everything,at least in this country,with a few exceptions,was dealt with by 2002.At that time the big problem turned out to be that the Church had gone soft on their policy of not ordaining homosexuals.
Initially the headlines shrieked out "pedophile priests" and the country was aghast. When the facts emerged there was a problem indeed and it did involve sex and it was tawdry,sinful,ugly and wrong. However,it was also clear that the problem was not so much one of mentally,sick pedophile priests but instead they were manipulative homosexual priests doing business as usual in the homosexual community. What was learned was there is a big difference between men attracted to children {pedophiles} and men attracted to post pubescent males {ephebophilia}.
According to the research firm the Church had hired,80% of all the sexual activity by priests was perpetrated by homosexual priests. The others were abuses against females/women and then pedophiles.
I would conjecture that before this became too common knowledge,the MSM which has a load of homosexual journalists,pundits,editors,commentators in concert with some of their catholic counterparts in the clergy and aided and abetted by infiltrators who had been in position to implode the Church for quite a while let things slide rather than risk exposure to the general public.
So they pulled in their fangs and waited for a new opportunity,and here we are with many people mightily upset about the turn this country has taken toward a more controlled society and others upset and frightened about the dreary economy,what better way to divert attention and maybe even pick up some more money than to have at the Church again.
Diabolic?
