    Disgusting. I want to know why the law isn't more involved. There should be a huge taskforce dedicated to finding and convicting the pedophiles and everyone in the Catholic church that has anything at all to do with cover ups (and then we could hope that Benedict himself lives long enough to go to prison!). God knows there are enough cases to warrant one.

    Fuck the Catholic church.

    I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure it would be considered discrimination if the authorities targeted the Catholic Church's officials. As in, if the FBI or whatever opened an investigation to every single Catholic Church's clergy, this would be seen as religious persecution or something.

    I think for any meaningful change to happen there would have to be a huge movement by the church-goers, and sadly that is unlikely to happen.

    good plan. if decent folks had any courage or morals at all they would quickly quit going to catholic church or any religious gathering where pedophiles gather. shut the fuckers down if you don't like them. makes perfect sense to me. stop feeding them.

    next thing you know they'll have another crusade torturing us all until we declare we are catholic

    grew up catholic, pretty much non-practicing now and it completely baffles me that people still send their children to catholic schools and church. there is no other institution or business than these same people would send their kids to if there were any abuse allegations, let alone the unbelievable amount that we know of in the catholic church. no way these people would send their children into a store that had abuse allegations against it, yet many so willingly still send their kids to church and schools (and pay for it).

    Wouldn't it be legal to investigate the church leaders though, if suspected of organized cover up of crimes (which would technically make it a criminal organization)? I'm no lawyer either, but I'm pretty sure companies can be investigated for such things, so why not the business of the Catholic church?

    I start to wonder how I made it through my youth without being molested with Some CCD, Some Catholic school and some Alter boy stuff throughout my youth. When I was a young teen and in normal trouble my father had me meet with a friend he grew up with who became a Catholic priest. I guess it was to get me going in the right direction. This is probably about 25-30 years ago. Any way, this priest, a friend of my fathers wound up doing horrible things. I'll post the links.

    Unfortunately my father passed away 22 years ago because I'd love to ask him a few questions. My Dad's sister won't even talk to about it. She's very religious.
