A Catholic mom on Vatican's strategy to address abuse

Monday, July 19 2010 @ 06:53 AM EST

By Tracy Grant

The Catholic Church has shown that it has a lot in common with your typical 6-year-old.

In announcing its latest attempt to deal with the decades-old priest sex abuse scandal, the Vatican wheedled when it could have healed, deflected when it could have taken a punch squarely and ultimately, failed to put behind it the greatest calamity to face the church in centuries.

More women = less sex abuse

Monday, July 19 2010 @ 06:23 AM EST

Tag: usa

By Bryan Cones

It is becoming common wisdom that the exclusion of women from decision-making positions in most areas of church life is at least one element in the onging sexual abuse crisis.

Without the presence of women, the argument goes, the hierarchy becomes a boys club, one made up of a uniquely odd demographic: unmarried men, many of whom "grew up," beginning in puberty even, as clerics, and who have few professional or even personal relationships with women.

No Case to Answer for Child Abuse by Catholic Clergy

Sunday, July 18 2010 @ 10:27 PM EST

Tag: australia

In the past couple of weeks has come the welcome news that the entire board of the NSW branch of the St Vincent De Paul Society has been sacked, a direct flow-on of systemic bullying within that organisation. And here, in this story from yesterday’s Sydney Morning Herald, is a description of a legal technicality that readers in liberal democracies outside of Australia might find difficult to understand.

That is, that in NSW (NSW being Australia’s most populous state, with in excess of seven million people), the Catholic Church cannot be called to account for any child abuse perpetrated by priests or other clergy before 1986. This stems from the totally flawed decision in the matter of Ellis v Pell [2006] NSWSC 109 (3 March 2006), which was summarised in the Herald story like so:

Church to respect local law on abuse

Sunday, July 18 2010 @ 10:16 PM EST

The Catholic Church must respect local laws when handling child abuse cases, the Vatican's chief spokesman said on Saturday, two days after the Holy See issued new rules against pedophile priests.

The new rules "represent an indispensable guide for a large community, like the Catholic Church, which must have common standards autonomous of those of the countries in which its is present", Federico Lombardi was quoted as saying by ANSA news agency.

She reports an announcement from the Vatican that it has revised laws to discipline sex-abuser priests, but also that ordaining women as priests is as grave an offense as pedophilia...

WHAT??... I know that systems tend to accomodate to their least functional members, but this is horrifying, and continues to leave children at risk.

Child Predators and their Champion: the Catholic Church

Thursday, July 15 2010 @ 11:10 PM EST

Tag: usa

In a recent article I discovered online with Dalje.com, a Croatian site, I came across the following quote[1].

But is the Catholic church being unfairly targeted, and, if so, why? Are atheists innocent of child abuse, or Protestants, or Jews? While it is true that the Catholic church represents the largest single religious entity in the world, and wields great influence, should it therefore be held to a higher standard by the media? It doesn’t seem quite fair.

After all, does a child suffer less agony, physical and emotional, from the illicit touch of an atheist, a rabbi, or a Protestant minister than that of a Catholic? Of course not. And should a pastor or a rabbi or an atheist be spared humiliation, disgrace, and public reprobation in the media and his community because he belongs to a smaller, non-Catholic religious denomination?

We're grateful that Danneels is being questioned. It should have happened long ago.

COVINGTON, Ky. - Sue was deeply into a peaceful sleep one night, when all of a sudden her eyes popped open and a wave of fear instantly washed over her entire body.

Her husband, Bill, hovered overhead in a trance, one of his arms fully extended and the hand tightly clenched into a fist.

"It did scare me," she said. "It was somebody in his dream that he was going to hit, but I was going to be the one to get punched."

Raiding The Child Rapists In Belgium

Monday, June 28 2010 @ 04:44 AM EST

There was certainly no waffling in Belgium when law enforcement officials raided a Catholic Bishop’s meeting to pursue tawdry allegations of sexual abuse by pedophile priests.

When Pope Benedict XVI heard about the operation, he put down his incense and announced he was incensed that police actually did their jobs to protect minors from major abuses.

He called the police action “surprising and deplorable”, which more accurately might describe the way Rome has handled the child rape crisis.

The Pope should be encouraging, not forbidding, more open conversation about cover ups of clergy sex crimes by bishops, not less. Frankly, the church desperately needs it. Kids are safer when honest dialogue about misdeeds is encouraged, not forbidden.

As the Nathan character said in The Searchers, that tears it. The last shred of the Catholic claim to being an ethical institution has been eliminated by the cruel perfidy of its clerics.

It is time for all decent people to demand that the institution no longer exist as an organized entity, and for all upright people who belong to the body to leave in disgust. It is not just the pedophile scandal. It is because core Catholic doctrine is outright evil. Here's why.

You see, whenever it’s convenient, they like to pretend that their political “state” is somehow separate from their “priesthood.” Then when it’s convenient, they like to say that it’s the other way around: priests are merely ambassadors of the Vatican, and each church, each diocese an extension of the international Catholic state.
