The amount of threats and abuse that catholic priests get from racist pigs in appauling. None of the accusations of child molesting priests are lies. ALL of them.

A mn of god does not cover the virgin Marys face and molest a child. Believe and trust the true faith and story not publisists and racist mothers.

We have come this far in protecting kids because brave victims of clergy sex abuse are speaking up and contacting police. Like Finn has now learned the hard way, it is not the church officials who should be deciding or investigating child sex crimes, that is the job for law enforcement.

Thank you to the judge for this historic guilty verdict. This is just a start for some hope for the safety of our children and the future.

In 2010 he was quoted by the Belfast (Ireland) Telegraph as saying, “In the 1970s, paedophilia was theorised as something fully in conformity with man and even with children”?

We can use the same logic to forgive modern slavery: Hey, it was totally acceptable not so long ago, so it's not so bad now. Give a slaver a break!

Last summer, after yet another horrific report of an investigation into the church's continuing sexual victimization of children, Ireland's Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Enda Kenny gave a blistering rebuke of the Vatican which, under this pope, frustrated efforts of Irish civil authorities to pursue priests who sexually preyed upon children and vulnerable adults.

"Today [the Catholic] church needs to be a penitent church, a church truly and deeply penitent for the horrors it perpetrated, that it hid, and that it denied - in the name of God but for the good of the institution.... [T]hrough our [Children First] legislation ... those who have been abused might take some small comfort in knowing that they belong to a nation - to a democracy - where humanity, power, rights, and responsibilities are enshrined and enacted always - always - for their good. [Ireland's laws] will always supersede canon law that have neither legitimacy nor place in the affairs of this country.
...
" And safeguarding their integrity and their innocence must be a national priority. That is why I undertook to create a Cabinet ministry for Children and Youth Affairs. The legislation 'Children First' proposes to give our children maximum protection and security without intruding on the hectic, magical business of being a child.
"Cardinal Josef Ratzinger [now Pope Benedict XVI] said, 'Standards of conduct appropriate to civil society or the workings of a democracy cannot be purely and simply applied to the Church.'
"As the Holy See prepares its considered response to the Cloyne Report, I want to make it clear, as Taoiseach, that when it comes to the protection of the children of this State, the standards of conduct which the Church deems appropriate to itself cannot and will not be applied to the workings of democracy and civil society in this republic."


Listening to it, I wanted to stand and cheer.
