It is important that the church recognizes its moral responsibility and the expectations of society, so that bishops and religious leaders can pledge to ensure recognition of the victims and adopt measures to heal their suffering. They must be determined to bring dignity back to the victims and provide financial compensation according to their own personal injury and emotional suffering they endured.

There is nothing more disgusting then priesthood and the Catholioc Church unless it would be religion in general.
So the catholics don’t like to punish their priests for crimes committed. Where have we heard this before?
Does this sound like they practice what they preach? There is no “eye for an eye” here. Just a settlement for holy dollars.
These holy dollars came from people who have been sold a bill of faith.
All you religious neer do wells, the Vatican is laughing at you!

Rollzone, what do you mean by “and not categorized in a racist composite.”?

Your discouraging intercourse comment leaves an opening for interpretation. Playboy many years ago posed this question:  What is another word for intercourse?  Answer: Talking!  What did you mean?

hello. nondisclosure of identities must be reviewed on individual basis, and not categorized in a racist composite; that wrongly equates everyone: in individual misbehavior. the purpose of the founding fathers in the separation of church and state was the promise of exercising religious freedom; which includes the unenviable participation with equality of atheists. contrarian views encourage improvement wherby insults discourage intercourse.

I resent calling Catholics dim witted people. Dim witted yes, people no! A couple of JuJU beads and five hail yes’s and problem absolved. It may be safe to say Catholics believe in fornicating or abusing anything as long as one tries their best not get caught, and if one does get caught, it is the victims fault anyway, means they were women or children, so what does it matter?  After all popey lives in a house of gold and has a direct line to the big guy. 

Seems using fantasy to define reality has a few short comings in the end.

Here again is another example of the principle of the ‘separation of Church and State!’
The Roman Catholic Church is Ireland’s government and has been for many centuries. The Church is the most powerful and all-pervasive institution and will stay that way until the people rise up and change the system.
Why do the people of Ireland tolerate and even support an institution that has proven itself unworthy of respect? Only the people of Ireland can answer that question, yet they continue to admonish their younger generations to give way to the wishes of ‘the’ church, which is the most corrupt and abominable system imaginable.
This is the prime reason that in writing the Constitution, the founding fathers sought and fought for the separation of church and state. No other country, has that enshrined in their founding documents and if they do, it is not followed in any form which would lead one to believe that ‘the’ church has no power over the rights of that countries
citizens.
Given this abomination it is high time that the power of the church and its coffers are opened to the very people that need it most, the victims of its
oppression and the victims of its systemic abuse. To compensate in some measure the abuse the people have endured at the hands of its adherents, the church should be bankrupted and made to give up its prominence as an arbiter of moral and ethical mores.
There is no situation that is worse than the church, the voice of G-d, on the earth, giving succor to people who have abused and killed those that are the most vulnerable, Children!
It is for this and many other reasons that I am considering the abrogation of organized religion in my own life. Faith I have in abundance, trust and respect for organized religion, ABSOLUTELY NONE!

Administrations of religious groups and governments hide their crimes as much as possible, and delay delay delay the truth coming out, in any form, for as long as possible.  I am thinking of the abuse of indigenous children in Canada and the US also in “schools”, where kids were taken from their families to be “de-indianized” where they were forbidden to speak their languages. And, there’s abuse of kids in US correctional facilities…etc etc.

No wonder the world is so fucked up!

For centuries, a huge religious cult has been preaching abinstinence and sexual responsibility to their throngs of followers. The only reason you should ever have sex is to make babies, and the more babies you make the better off the cult is, because they outnumber the other cults. Lets face it, the catholic church has always been a giant pyramid scheme with a man at the top that has never had sex, and talks to an invisible man in the sky, and relays his messages to the cowering hoards of followers. Those messages being of course, to always obey what the man behind the curtain says, and to produce as many followers as possible, so as to always outnumber the enemy, You know, any one else who isn’t catholic.

These dim witted people(catholics) are then forced to enter their countless children into the catholics system of indoctronation/education, where they were taught that everthing they see was created six thousand years ago by the invisible man, that the jews mocked the invisible man by building a golden calf and killing Jesus, and, above all, never question anything that the church tells you. Of course that includes never telling anyone that a church representive stuck things into you that should not normally be stuck into an eight year old. And of course, that what he did to you and your friends is a secret penance to be paid to the invisible man because he saw you touch yourself.

If any person gives money or property to the catholic church, they are aiding and abetting the molestation of countless children, and should be treated as such.

And always remember this, any all powerful invisible man who stands idly by and watches children be defiled, does not deserve you worship.
