"Fraternal correction" is the biggest crock of shit I've ever had the misfortune to smell.
Father cocksucker gets caught then Bishop buttfucker and monseigneur assclown get sent in with them. I bet you don't get more than 2 bishops in the clink before all of the rest fall in line and start calling out problem priests. I'd put any amount of money down that if you sent 2 bishops to prison under this program within 1 year you'd have 100 priests turned in by bishops around the country.
Well, maybe there's still time: Where is this meeting taking place? Does it go into the evening? Where are these frocky dudes hanging out afterwards for drinks?
Where is the police in all of this? After "Bishop Robert W. Finn admitted" should come "Police took him into custody this morning".
I'm all for blasting the kiddie-fuckers of the church, especially given their frankly laughable claim to the moral high ground. The mafia is also an easy target, but when the mafia does shit and authorities fail to put perpetrators in jail, we rightfully direct our outrage at the institutions that are supposed to have a minimum of responsibility and ethics. I don't expect any good out of the Catholic Church. That's what we have the police, the FBI and the justice department for. When 200 deaf boys can be abused by a single priest, with former victims telling everyone that would listen, including the police, and the rapist never saw even the inside of a courthouse, then it's more than bishops that need to be jailed for it.
And here I thought it was just a few thousand bad apples.
What is it with the church does it want everyone to hate it? I'm sure Jesus is appalled.
And to think, we used to be the bastion of progressivism. Yikes.
I think that's where the Child Rape, Inc. organization is, about now. Which explains their utter absense of will in addressing very real, distrubting issues in their organization. I can't see how anyone right now, who is Catholic, who would dare let their children anywhere near any kind of figure of authority in that organization.
(For that matter, I wouldn't let any kid of mine near any "youth pastor" of any denomination, either. And this is entirely without even addressing the fact that as an atheist, no kid of mine would be anywhere near a church :). But wow, I feel sorry for folks who are actually religious, sincerely so, not too fucked up, who have kids, who have to decide how to deal with all that...)
Geeze.
Oh, "fraternal correction." Did he say that? DID HE REALLY?? Goddammit, I couldn't make this shit up if I tried...
Sure, you will find incidents of molestation happening in the public schools, too. But when a teacher does it, he goes to jail.
SEXUAL ABUSE CRISIS IN NEW YORK CITY SCHOOLS: STATE INVESTIGATION URGED
June 12, 2003
Catholic League president William Donohue is urging a state investigation of the sexual abuse crisis in the New York City public schools. He explained his reasoning as follows:
“The sexual abuse crisis in the New York City public schools dwarfs the scandal in the Catholic Church, yet state lawmakers are doing nothing about it. This outrageous condition demands a response from Albany.
“In today’s newspapers, it is reported that four teachers with a history of misconduct are being removed from the classroom by New York City Schools Chancellor Joel Klein because he is convinced that they are a threat to children. Of the three teachers involved in sexual misconduct, one male teacher is accused by male students of paying them $100 each for the privilege of performing oral sex on them during school hours. Administrators, teachers and students all knew about it for six months. When the teacher was finally investigated, he was allowed to remain in the classroom for three months. Another teacher is charged with fondling a handicapped student; the third teacher is charged with rape and sodomy. And what was the response of teachers union president Randi Weingarten? She blasted Klein for his decision to protect the kids from these teachers.
“These are not isolated incidents. A previous study by the New York Post revealed that at least one child is sexually abused by a school employee every day in New York City schools! One third of the accused are repeat offenders and more than 60 percent are simply transferred to desk jobs. And each time reforms are proposed, the unions invoke state law protecting tenured teachers at the expense of innocent children.
“I am writing today to Governor George Pataki and every member of the New York State legislature to conduct an investigation of this incredible abuse of power and to enact new laws that put the safety of children first. Predator teachers are no more acceptable than predator priests.”
