Top Vatican officials — including the future Pope Benedict XVI — did not defrock a priest who molested as many as 200 deaf boys, even though several American bishops repeatedly warned them that failure to act on the matter could embarrass the church, according to church files newly unearthed as part of a lawsuit....

My last job, one of our clients was the Diocese of Rockville Centre (Long Island). They had something like 500 sexual misconduct claims over the past 30 years.

The Vatican’s inaction is not unusual. Only 20 percent of the 3,000 accused priests whose cases went to the church’s doctrinal office between 2001 and 2010 were given full church trials, and only some of those were defrocked, according to a recent interview in an Italian newspaper with Msgr. Charles J. Scicluna, the chief internal prosecutor at that office. An additional 10 percent were defrocked immediately. Ten percent left voluntarily. But a majority — 60 percent — faced other “administrative and disciplinary provisions,” Monsignor Scicluna said, like being prohibited from celebrating Mass.

So basically the Vatican/Catholic church are a bunch of sympathisers because they all do/want to molest young boys.

How is it possible for one denomination to have so many offenders? Does the lack of sex drive these guys up the wall?

Apparently a lot of priests get into God because they have these urges to feel up young guys and think being a priest and devoting their lives to god and celibacy will curb their need to be gay pedos. However it's such an opportune position to be in if you're that way inclined it makes me wonder.

Ichirou · « **Reply #16 on:** March 25, 2010, 08:54:58 PM »

I wouldn't say that this is the majority of priests. The problem is that the priests who aren't pedo are all too willing to look away when this happens.

Fresh Prince · « **Reply #17 on:** March 25, 2010, 08:55:36 PM »

At the end of the day it comes down to image. And money.

Theres apparently ~400000 catholic priests in the world, but 3000 accused priests in 9 years is still a pretty big number imo.

The Pope is above the law, and apparently above the bible since there's no mention of any such person there.

I can't wait for the pope to give an apology. In 200 years.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #24 on:** March 25, 2010, 09:23:33 PM »

This will die down and in a few years, another scandal will break, the Church will apologize, the anger will die down again and so on and so on.

... I don't trust anyone that doesn't have sex.

Funny thing is, even with all the kids getting raped, the Catholic Church is still overall doing more good than any other Christian denomination out there.

Are you applying the Polanski Rule to the Catholic Church? That one missionary = a baker's dozen of boys raped?

I think the Movie Godz have made it clear that Polanski's contributions to cinema make the crime of butt-raping a little girl nothing more than a forgivable peccadillo.

I think there should be an inverse rule, because most films that feature the Catholic Church suck. The Godfather Part III, The DaVinci Code/Angels and Demons, etc.

At any rate, Catholic Church sucks.

I think an interesting question is, would Ratzinger have been made Pope if his involvement in this scandal had been publicly known beforehand?

Plenty of popes and priests had wives and kids. The whole stupid celibacy thing came later, the Church is just too fucking rigid to get rid of it.

Many Catholics were expecting a more progressive Pope. I remember my parents being really upset when it came out that Ratzinger was going to be the next Pope because he's a total retrograde.

JPII was a drama student and acted the part. Was a publicist's dream. He was always a conservative but was a bit Hollywood. He is the Ronald Reagan of popes.
