Molesters, and bankers, gain confidence in gaming the system,
when ‘nothing is done’.
The Vatican denies justice by stalling cases for years,
despite repeated pleas.
Enjoying The Power to Elevate Their Chosen,
above any earthly justice.
Delaying justice, is as time honored,
as is the denial of the truth.
The Vatican misrepresents an, "absolutely groundless" Being,
as fact; calling the abused, weirdos.
As God's wife left Him, She said,
“If your dick was half as hard as your head,
you could be worth a f#$k.”
He got Pissed; Hungry; and Horny.
He vented His Wrath, ate fast food,
and started f#$king with His Creations.
Lucifer did not bend over, for that.
Mary was lucky, Chosen as the Mother of Jesus;
if lucky, is watching your son's Crucifixion.
Jesus asked to be excused; He didn't want to watch
His Mother crying miserably.
Sadomasochism, B & D, was His Choice, for His Son.
W T F does He care about us, insignificant fools.
How duth He molest us? Did His Puppet, Kiesle,
use the kid’s rectums, and their heads?
God’s abnormal sexuality must remain safely in a closet,
until after religion has succeeded in completely scaring
the natural f#$k out of everyone here.
His Plan assures that we Faithfully accept His
unnatural preferences, as sheep do.
We must seek His Forgiveness, for these religiously
induced and driven perversions.
After condoning millenniums of child rape, S & M, and B & D abuse,
few religious authorities are now being openly 'punished'.
The God of Abraham suffers from:
intermittent explosive disorder.
Mental health care professionals
could help Him develop better control
of Self-righteous Wrath, and to
get real about the true costs of His Episodes.
Lucifer was violently Struck down;
because diversity, of opinion,
is not tolerated.
After the fact,
it was deceptively termed a 'Fall'.
Similar to when your father breaks bones
in your mother's face, when he hit her
during an argument.
After the fact, a secret cover-up agreement
is made. Parents tell the children momma 'fell',
and hit her face on the dresser. Father,
will avoid going to jail for battery,
and leaving the poor family to fend for itself.
Insurance will pay all the 'accidental'
hospital bills, in the fraudulent claim.
All the relationships are permanently damaged,
and we all live in fearful "preference falsification,"
aka, "Keeping your head down."
Condoning God’s wicked treatment of children,
or an Angel is wrong.
No one, would dare call it rape
When you realize that God is,
Pumping your behind furiously.
Relax and enjoy your sacrifice,
Like everyone has told you to.
Shift your weight to windward.
Feel His Power a few moments.
Be a cute little altar boy puppet,
Allow a bare quest to Heel you.
The specialty of this Church,
Has always been Condonation.
Priests are gay, S & M, and B & D; willingly, or not.
God wants priests to be like Himself, for His own comfort.

ABORTION AND OTHER CHILD PREDATORS? THERE'S NO SCANDAL IN THE CATHOLIC HIERARCHY?

NUMEANING of FL 5:57AM April 02, 2010

Well, the Catholic church offers masses for the living and especially the dead. Of course teaching that most will go to purgatory and need to be "prayed out'. This process doesn't come cheap, I mean, on Sunday if there are five masses said , that's five people whose family members or friends have offered the priest a stipend to say the mass. Now, combine that with the passing of the basket which comes around twice , and consider how much money they are bringing in to add to their already obtained riches.
Tell me how this is much different from Oral Roberts or any televangelist , although they pride themselves as being the "true church" and look down on all the other "religious sects".
When I watch The Pope offer mass in the Vatican, I can't help but think of how Peter the apostle was a poor fisherman. Uneducated even. I wonder how he would feel if he saw how it goes today with all his "successors". They've certainly come a long way.

"...for priests and nuns to deny their body's most compelling urge..." Huh. I would have thought eating is the body's most compelling urge.

Some have proposed allowing priests to marry as a solution to the Catholic Church’s pedophilia problem, which is silly -- eight-year-olds can’t get married. Try gelding the priests. Now that I've offended just about everyone, let me assure you I'm not serious.
But seriously, until the Church hierarchy demonstrates it is truly concerned about this problem, and not just the adverse publicity it has caused, it will have no moral authority to speak on any issue. Time to clean the stables by defrocking, excommunicating, or referring these monsters (and their enablers) to civil authorities for prosecution. Nothing less will put an end to the matter.
I am deeply ashamed and sorrowful for the Church, but until its leadership acts to correct this problem and proactively eliminate or reduce it, they deserve all the kicking around they will get.

I see the vultures are circling. Keep in mind that the church is made up of sinners - never denied this, and that there have been scandals before. The church has survived for 2000 years and will survive going forward - all to the dismay of non-believers. Nevertheless - culture has a hand in this as well - the civil authorities were involved and didn't do anything either. Also, you who believe any news report should also check the facts. Here is a link to a liberal rag - the National Catholic Reporter - no friend of the Pope.

Lastly, some of the above exaggerations (Crusades and Inquistion) would be laughable if not seen as being seriously presented as fact. Again - I challenge everyone to check facts before throwing out such nonsense. Aside from the fact that your minds are already made up and you don't want to consider any truth.

Sexual abuse is most prevalent int the Catholic church. However, this serious crime goes beyond Catholic boundaries going on in a number of other protestant churches as well. Bottom line is, like the title of this article says: Police must stop sexual abuse in the churh.
In addition, it is a real travesty that the pope himself is not held accountable for his part in the conspiracy to cover up the abuse that took place in Germany those many years ago. Pope Benedict should be prosecuted too. When it comes down to the nitty-gritty, absolutely NO ONE is above the law. I believe a vast multitude of parishioners have reached a limit. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH...prosecute and punish these perpetrators. It is time the victims got the justice they deserve. AND for us as Americans to save face and see this justice is carried out.

What about “civil society” in India ?
Since close to a year now, I have written to the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative, Campaign for Judicial Accountability And Reform, Forum For Judicial Accountability, MKSS (Aruna Roy)and Anna Hazare regarding this cascading delinquency of constitutional bodies in India.
There has not been one constructive response.
They all appear to be in helpless denial of the awful truth that an innocent citizen has been hounded and humiliated since two decades, not for any bad behaviour or wrongdoing, but for resisting the dilution of the values of the Indian constitution and standing up for the correct administration of the Right To Information Act 2005.

India is crisscrossed by schools and other institutions run by Jesuits.
Yet thanks to India’s dodgy editorial class very few in India know that the Vatican has paid out close to a hundred million dollars to compensate for victims of child sexual abuse by albeit “a small minority” of priests.
The Indian media has barely reported that story.
Was the media’s heinous silence an act of concern for Indian children or a hideously wrongheaded act of leaving well enough alone ?
Abuse of power often happens in plain sight, since to the busy and self absorbed lay person, the powerful appear glamorous and formidable and their prey appear to be rebellious, despicable and in many ways, asking for it.
As somebody who has conscientiously refused to do business the way it “normally” is in so called democratic societies - I will not pay bribes - and who has been almost destroyed for my pains, I am able to feel deep appreciation for the heroes who spoke out and for those who heard them, felt outrage and who together managed to extract a measure of accountability from one of the most powerful and ambitious organisations on this planet.
Since the past two decades, the Government of India, the Government of my own state, Andhra Pradesh, the Andhra Pradesh High Court , the Chief Information Commissioner and State Information Commissioner have combined to impress on me that what works in India is what I have called the “patronage paradigm” – the paradigm of shoddiness, irresponsibility, cronyism and corruption” – and that ideas of the rule of law and democratic processes are merely spectacles to lull the gullible.
I have been denied the recognition that were commended to me by one former Chief Minister of my state, one former minister of home affairs, one speaker of the Lok Sabha, several prominent ministers of the central cabinet, eminent intellectuals and freedom fighters.
I have been unable to earn a decent living.
The office of the Governor of Andhra Pradesh incited my neighbours to cut off my water supply.
The information commissions in the state and at the centre denied me my right to information on spurious, brazenly illegal grounds and punished me for daring to object.
The high court denied me my right to competent counsel and punished me for complaining.
Even as we speak, Dr Manmohan Singh”s office, “Daredevil” Pratibha Patil’s Rashtrapati Bhavan, Chief Information Commissioner Wajahat Habibullah, State Information Commissioner CD Arha are all locked in a most perverse and ignominious conspiracy of silence to deny me justice.
Even as the Prime Minister’s Office maintains a guilty silence in my case, it appears to have jumped through hoops to heap honour on a businessman alleged to be a serial swindler.
India’s editorial class is as dense, amoral and narcissistic.
Variations of this comment have appeared in almost every major Indian online publication plus in a few abroad.
However, not a single editor or reporter has had the professionalism to pick it up and make it “impact”.
My credentials are strong and I have taken much trouble to meet many editors personally, usually on impeccable referrals.
Our “know-it-all-in -chiefs” have had nothing but smirks to offer.
When I sought the solidarity of the press, Shekhar Gupta (editor in chief of New Indian Express) advised me, “You cannot go around taking pangas (quarrels) with people, yaar.”
Even my comments are mutilated.
Vinod Mehta’s “Outlook” has banned my comments on risible grounds.
The Hindu crawled.
It published “spin” by corrupt officials and got hissy with me for pointing out, with evidence, its craven, yellow soul.
The Indian Press (with a solitary exception) blacked out the fervent open letter written by Padma Vibhushan Kaloji Narayana Rao.
That dear man , clear as a bell in his nineties, had laid his head on my shoulder, hugged me and wept.
