In the past such a scandal has always been brushed under the carpet with gagging orders, and then quietly ignored. NOT this time—the long reach of the Internet won’t allow it!
New reports have emerged almost daily of sex abuse cases involving Catholic clergy in several European countries. Around 100 of the claims involve a boarding school run by Benedictine monks at Ettal, in the foothills of the Alps in southern Bavaria. The sex abuse scandal, which has also swept through the Netherlands, Austria, and Switzerland, reached Italy this week. The Bishop of Bolzano, in northern Italy, asked forgiveness from the growing number of people in his diocese who have come forward in the last 10 days saying they were abused in religious institutions in the 1960s. Archbishop Robert Zollitsch of Freiburg, who also heads the German Bishops Conference, said that "sexual abuse was covered up for centuries by the church." The tip of the iceberg.
How many of the kids standing behind the 3 frustrated old men at the front, have been molested by them?According to the Irish, 1 in 4.
Recruiting Priests have always looked for the vulnerable and dysfunctional to join the priesthood, those that don’t fit into normal society. The single parent child, the gay, the disillusioned, the orphan. So is it any wonder that they then produce dysfunctional priests? The Vatican has always insisted that its brainwashing methods are par to none. That they can remould any dysfunction, can straighten out any problem and eventually produce a functional priest. Clearly they delude themselves—but then they are experts at delusions. Deluding the public with their 3 in 1 ‘mysteries’ their bizarre saints and miracles. Deluding themselves that in the current state of society they can control the abused with ‘silence clauses’. The Vatican deludes itself that the Bull they’ve put out on this scandal will ameliorate catholic society at large.
Power hungry Cardinals living in the past still think they are ‘princes’ of the church and the Pope is their absolute infallible king. There is nothing so pathetic in the twenty-first century as these kinds of monarchical self delusions. Thus the churches empty and people learn that God is the ultimate delusion perpetrated by the Vatican in pursuit of power. Thus it is with all organised religion!
