Roman Catholic Church lowers its standards

[Sava]

Nobody cares. You are evil. You are going to hell. Eat ****.

[Ben Kenobi]

I believe people would hate the church less if they actually cooperated instead of hiding facts. I don't remember all this hatred before. Maybe it's connected DOH

Are you seriously claiming that anti-Catholicism didn't exist in the 19th century?

How hard is it to get a damn warrant?

We've already stated that the Vatican does not and will not bend to a warrant, however, Many countries share information on investigations. Not all countries share and the Vatican is one of those countries that don't share.
In other words they enable child molesters.

The top 500 people in positions of power in the RCC should go to jail for life.

Has anyone actually looked at this picture? LOOK AT THE PIC.

Then you'll have to let the Vatican investigators do their job.

Which is why they are removing them? I see no evidence that, since the removal of folks like Weakland that the Catholic church is enabling child molesters.

Do you not see the removal of these folks as significant evidence that the Church is taking this seriously and is taking the right steps?

Child Molesters should be held accountable to the highest extent of the law. PERIOD! I would never join or condone an organization that openly protects child molesters from prosecution.
Once again, let's be more personal. I am a father. You are not, but let's say you were blessed to have a son and the Clergy at your Church molested him...Would YOU really feel that satisfied that justice was served. What if it was you that got molested, would you really feel satisfied that the person that raped got transferred or removed from office?

You're really going to make it personal? I've worked with the Church, I've worked in the secular school system. I trust my coworkers far, far more now than before.. I've had to pass background checks, I'll have random inspections where one of the board will sit on my classes, I have to pass an assessment generally every year.

You tell me that the Catholic church is not concerned about these things. My experience in working with them, that they are very careful and want to ensure that the children are safe, first and foremost.

At this point, everything he says is self-pwnage.

Just smoke to avoid divert attention. Quite typical.
But for the record.
Yes abuse of minors is a serious problem wherever it's found.
And if only 79% of the victims were boys, does that make it OK?

Yup.

Sexual abuse ?

Of boys ?

In a Roman Catholic educational establishment ?

Say it ain't so, Holy Joe...

The abbey of Ampleforth, and the school which almost entirely surrounds it, has stood in a remote valley near Thirsk in North Yorkshire for 200 years. The school educates the children of many of Britain's wealthiest and most influential Roman Catholic families.

The Benedictine community running the abbey and the school says its mission is the "spiritual, moral and intellectual" education of children who will become "inspired by high ideals and capable of leadership".

Cardinal Hume spent most of his life at Ampleforth, arriving as a pupil at the age of 10 and leaving only when appointed Archbishop of Westminster in 1976, at the age of 52. In between, he was a novice, then a monk, was ordained, was a housemaster and taught rugby.

After his election as abbot in 1963 he was responsible for running the school as well as the abbey, and police say they have established that by 1975 he was aware of the risk that at least one monk, Father Piers Grant-Ferris, posed to pupils. Yesterday Grant-Ferris, 72, pleaded guilty at Leeds crown court to abusing 15 boys at Ampleforth's prep school over a nine-year period up to 1975. Some of these boys, boarders aged between eight and 10, were beaten for his sexual gratification.

While Cardinal Hume did banish Grant-Ferris, it is unclear why he failed to alert police and social services. Had he done so, police believe Ampleforth's boys may have been at far less risk of suffering the abuse that continued to be committed by a number of monks and lay staff over the next 20 years.


There is other evidence that Cardinal Hume was prepared to put the reputation of the Catholic church before the interests of justice. A court in Leicester heard that before his death in 1999 he had offered a woman who was molested by a priest an unsolicited £1,500 "donation" towards counselling, and urged her not to contact police. The woman ignored him, and the priest was eventually jailed for six years for abusing her and three other women.
