Vatican to fast-track 'urgent' priest sex abuse cases

VATICAN CITY (AFP) – The Vatican moved Thursday to fast-track "urgent" priest sex abuse cases -- with some to be handled by the pope himself -- but drew criticism for sidestepping the issue of turning abusers in to the courts.

Announcing new rules in a bid to fend off accusations of complacency, the Roman Catholic Church said it would accelerate internal investigations and extended by a decade the statute of limitations in abuse cases.

Pope Benedict XVI in a speech at honoring Pope Celestine V praised his 13th century predecessor for having resigned the papacy to return to living as an ascetic hermit. (“Pope praises 13th-century hermit who quit papacy,” USA Today, July 4, 2010)

Benedict’s speech prompted musings about two possibilities: Benedict may intend to resign in the wake of growing outrage about his inept handling of clergy sex abuse cases; Benedict may be considering creating a mandatory retirement age or other mechanism for easing out a pope whose faculties are no longer equal to the demands of the papacy. I have no idea how likely either is; perhaps he is actually considering neither. However, both possibilities have merit.

On the evening of Saturday April 2, 2005, after receiving the Rite of Extreme Unction, Pope John Paul II passed away. At this time his chamberlain would have gone to the papal hospital bed and asked the Bishop of Rome a question, "Are you dead?" There would be no reply from the Pope. The chamberlain would then pick up a silver hammer and strike the Pope on the head and repeat his question, "Are you dead?" Again there would be no reply. The chamberlain would then thrice call out the Pope's baptismal name. He would then declare the Pope to be dead.

This is the way the Church has determined papal deaths for centuries. This is the way of the world's oldest monarchy.

The Trial of Pope Benedict XVI

By Jeff Israely and Howard Chua-Eoan

How do you atone for something terrible, like the Inquisition? Joseph Ratzinger attempted to do just that for the Roman Catholic Church during a grandiose display of Vatican penance — the Day of Pardon on March 12, 2000, a ritual presided over by Pope John Paul II and meant to purify two millenniums of church history. In the presence of a wooden crucifix that had survived every siege of Rome since the 15th century, high-ranking Cardinals and bishops stood up to confess to sins against indigenous peoples, women, Jews, cultural minorities and other Christians and religions. Ratzinger was the appropriate choice to represent the fearsome Holy Office of the Inquisition: the German Cardinal was, at the time, head of its historical successor, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. When his turn came, Ratzinger, the church's premier theologian, intoned a short prayer that said "that even men of the church, in the name of faith and morals, have sometimes used methods not in keeping with the Gospel in the solemn duty of defending the truth."

When Pope John Paul II was still living in Poland as Cardinal Karol Wojtyła, he claimed that the security police would accuse priests of sexual abuse just to hassle and discredit them.

By the early 1980s, Wojtyła, now ensconced in Rome as Pope John Paul II, treated all stories about pedophile clergy with dismissive aplomb, as little more than slander directed against the church. That remained his stance for the next twenty years.

Simultaneously, the Pope has reaffirmed the Church’s defense of celibacy for priests, vigorously denying assertions that a priest’s celibate status contributes to his propensity to commit sexual crimes against children. Abetting the sensationalistic nature of the crimes, as they’re described in the media, is that the Roman Catholic Church is overrun with pedophiliac priests.

The New York Times

ROME — Pope Benedict XVI on Saturday took control of the Legionaries of Christ, a powerful and wealthy Roman Catholic religious order whose founder, a friend of Pope John Paul II, was found to have molested seminarians and fathered several children.

The moves constituted the most direct action on sexual abuse since the most recent scandals have engulfed the church and prompted criticisms of the pope’s own handling of such cases as an archbishop in Munich and as a cardinal who led the office reviewing many sexual abuse charges.

In a case that will test Pope Benedict XVI's stated commitment to address the sex abuse issue in the Catholic Church, he met today with five bishops who are weighing the fate of a secretive, powerful order, the Legion of Christ, founded by a well-connected priest who molested dozens of boys, fathered at least one child and may have misused funds.

Exciting developments are afoot in the Catholic Church abuse scandal.

Pope Benedict XVI exposed in a monstrous international criminal cover-up: call to criminally prosecute Pope Benedict

This demand for justice erupting from below has now done the unthinkable. It has exposed the role of the present pope, Pope Benedict XVI, in a monstrous international criminal cover-up.

VATICAN CITY (GlossyNews) � A leading Atheist Richard Dawkins has hinted on the possibility of suing the Pope on child abuse cover ups in the Catholic church when he was Cardinal. This revelation has not led to a proper response yet. So, while the Vatican has, thus far, ignored Dawkins and says it�s a virtual impossibility, Catholics all over the world have voiced their contempt.

I won't pull any punches or give you a cutesy anecdote to start off this piece. The topic's too serious.

Keeping silent about the sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church - keeping silent about the cover-up and reassignment of priests - keeping silent about the current pope's apparent involvement in some of the priest-shuffling - is not loyalty to the church nor to Christianity nor to God. It is a betrayal of the victims past, present and future.

Sexual abuse of children is not unique to the Roman Catholic church, and Joseph Ratzinger is not one of those priests who raped altar boys while in a position of dominance and trust. But as so often it is the subsequent cover-ups, even more than the original crimes, that do most to discredit an institution, and here the pope is in real trouble.

Confession and repentance are not among the Christian virtues practised by the pope. He has apologised for the rape of children by Catholic priests in Ireland; but this is one of the few paedophilia scandals now shaking the church in which neither he nor members of his inner circle were involved.

He condemned the Irish bishops' "grave errors of judgment" and "failures of leadership", but of his own grave errors and failures � in Munich, Wisconsin and California � he says not a word, except to dismiss the issue as "petty gossip". His response to this scandal reminds you of the origins of the verb to pontificate.

Last night Associated Press revealed yet another case which raises questions about Pope Benedict XVI�s involvement in the management of paedophile priests. AP published a letter which seems to show that the then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger resisted pleas from a US Diocese to defrock a California-based priest who had sexually assaulting children, citing concerns including �the good of the universal church�. The Priest himself had asked to be defrocked after he was convicted of tying up and sexually assaulting two boys.

Abuse scandal means tough checks for future pope

VATICAN CITY � The sex abuse crisis engulfing the Catholic Church will mean more vigorous background checks when it comes to appointing cardinals, and future popes. Among the requirements: no taint of scandal and the ability to speak comfortably to the world and the media.

While leading Catholic conservatives have vigorously defended Benedict XVI from accusations that he was complicit in covering up sex abusers, they have also pointed to management failures.

Vatican's Point Man on Abuse Was Sucessfully Sued by Whistleblowing Priest

Wednesday, April 07 2010 @ 04:13 AM EST

With Pope Benedict XVI in a stance of passive silence on the clergy sex abuse crisis, the Vatican strategy of attacking the news media has made the pope more vulnerable to criticism. Loyal Catholics, and even political leaders inclined to give the pontiff the benefit of the doubt, are wondering why he can't say what went wrong and how he will make structural changes.

Instead, just before Easter, the Vatican launched a counteroffensive against the media in general and The New York Times in particular. The opening salvo was Cardinal William Levada's critique on the Vatican Web site of the Times' coverage of then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger's failure to defrock a priest who had abused deaf students at a Wisconsin school.

A reignited child sex abuse scandal in the Catholic Church is spreading around the globe, and a flash point in Wisconsin is flaring in the Vatican, where Pope Benedict XVI is under fire from critics who say he was part of a shameful culture of denial.

It is the Wisconsin case of the Rev. Lawrence Murphy, who is accused of abusing as many as 200 boys at a Catholic school for the deaf near Milwaukee, that is implicating then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger in what critics say is a church pattern of moving pedophile priests from parish to parish and diocese to diocese to dodge public outrage and protect child sex abusers from criminal prosecution.
