Wait until the church is rocked by information about a former archbishop allegedly raping young seminarians in Clongowes! It’s all coming down the line!

Roger Bacon said, many centuries ago, “celibacy is the strangest of all the perversions”. or something very close to that.

I don’t know what the catholic church expects when seminaries are run on a strictly homosexual basis(rape is also prevalent). It’s the same in the convents, maybe worse. You either give in ir you will be forced into it.
What a wonderful religion(rolleyes). Glad I haven’t been to any church since I got out of that boarding school that was run by Irish catholics when I was 13 years of age. Fortunately, sexual molestation was the only thing that was not visited upon us, just beatings daily(hourly)torture, slave labor, starvation, etc., etc.

Yes, the Patriarchal hierarchy is designed in such a way as those at the top are in total control, instead of them being servants of the people and the God they pretend to serve.

The only way to show they accept responsibility is for them to give over ALL money and assets to the people from whom they received it and stole it.

Then all those trillions of dollars- gathering dust in the Vatican- while the world’s children suffer- can be used to the benefit of all of humanity.

Ahhhh, now they are trying to make excuses for themselves to try and worm their way out of accepting responsibility like real men and women.

Anything to avoid parting with money.

Justice must be seen to be done and the only way to do that is to take the one thing they treasure most- MONEY.

These were grown men with free will – so they must accept the consequences- karma.

The bishops were the facilitators for the abusers in their ranks.

The monster who Raped me, Luke McCabe, who then inadvertantly raped and destroyed my Family was a “PAEDOPHILE” as were the so called men of the Cloth. No excuses or allowences should be made.
The Catholic Church attracted evil monsters men and women, who had little personality or ability to achieve in the outside world. They were cowards who bullied and abused young Children. They clearly were Mentally sick individuals. “LIKE MINDED PEOPLE ATTRACT.” As the Proverb goes “SHOW ME YOUR YOUR COMPANY AND I WILL TELL YOU WHAT YOU ARE”

Paddy
To me this is trying to make excuses for the Roman Catholic Clergy. These people learned from their teachers the Bishops.
It was the bishops who moved them from place to place. this gave them the means to abuse again
