Pennsylvania Catholic Church covers up 300 chomo priests

[Moloch]

Report details sexual abuse by more than 300 priests in Pennsylvania's Catholic Church
https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/14/us/pennsylvania-catholic-church-grand-jury/index.html

A new grand jury report says that internal documents from six Catholic dioceses in Pennsylvania show that more than 300 "predator priests" have been credibly accused of sexually abusing more than 1,000 child victims.
"We believe that the real number of children whose records were lost or who were afraid ever to come forward is in the thousands," the grand jury report says.
"Priests were raping little boys and girls, and the men of God who were responsible for them not only did nothing; they hid it all. For decades. Monsignors, auxiliary bishops, bishops, archbishops, cardinals have mostly been protected; many, including some named in this report, have been promoted."
The lengthy report, released Tuesday afternoon, investigates clergy sexual abuse daying back to 1947 in six dioceses: Allentown, Erie, Greensburg, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh and Scranton.

Pennsylvania's two other dioceses, Philadelphia and Altoona-Johnstown, have been the subjects of earlier grand jury reports, which found similarly damaging information about clergy and bishops in those dioceses.

Haha, as this post opened up, I was trying to figure out what kind of priest a "chomo" priest is. I thought maybe it's something I hadn't heard of. I guess you meant homo, as in homosexual. I guess it would be more accurate to call them pedophiles. Bisexual pedophiles maybe? Since they were doing it with boys and girls. This is sickening news, but sadly, it's hardly news. There have been so many abuse scandals within the Catholic church that it's ridiculous. I feel like there really need to be some new measure put in place. There needs to be some church-wide independent investigations. The church is pretty rich though and they have great lawyers that seem good at covering things up.

"There have been other reports about child sex abuse within the Catholic Church. But never on this scale,"

Yeah right. You know, just like every terror attack. "Worst terror attack in years", cry, hold vigils, change profile picture (and "je suis" if it's France as usual), rinse, repeat.

The Catholic Church have a habit of spiriting away (the only spirit they actually know) offending priests during their "internal investigation" allowing the monster to molest more kids in the unsuspecting new parish. That practice must be automatically considered obstruction of justice.

The Catholic church needs to reform in this modern day. It just doesn't make any sense that a priest cannot get married like any sane person. That's why in my opinion, only pedophile and gay will become a priest. Just allow marriage so they won't gather in the church and misuse God's name to do molestation. I've watched so many documentaries about this issue and it's so disturbing.

Sorry, chomo is prison slang for child molestor, i.e. pedophile... 300 priests molested over 1000 children in just 1 US state...
If that is the "average", there would be an estimated 300 * 50 = 15,000 catholic pedophile priests in USA alone... with more than 50,000 children being molested by them

You're on point! Because of the power and the wealth of the Catholic church, the crimes of pedophile priests remain hidden and unpunished. The worst part is that many of these priests continue molesting children under the cover of the church because the worst punishment they get is a transfer. If you look up the number of convicted priest worldwide, you'd be amaze. I think the internet age contributed mostly to the exposure this issue is getting now.

I've watched so many documentaries about this issue and it's so disturbing.

I wouldn't go this far, though. You can't just go ahead and say that the only people that are going to become priests are gays and pedophiles I'm not going to be the one that defends the Catholic church for the atrocities that they have committed over the years, it's just not something that is possible to justify.

But yes, I do agree with at least one point in this -- I agree that the priests in the church should be allowed to marry. I don't really understand why they aren't allowed to do this already, but maybe someone can enlighten me on the issues of them getting married or something along these lines.

I would hope that prosecutors come down on the Catholic Church and finally show them that this type of behavior has to be rooted out of the church. They should be punished and scrub all of this forever, though who knows if they ever will.z

[Moloch]

Is it a matter of which came first, the priest or the pedophile?

I always assumed it was the prohibition against marriage of priests that led them to this sort of behavior.  But I can also see how being a priest would be enticing for someone who is already a pedophile at heart.  I would not be surprised if some of them were molested by a priest when they were children.  They would have witnessed first hand how easy it is for a priest to get away with it if it happened to them.

Okay, so the Catholic Church covered those pervs up.

Whadd'ya want?

Ya want them running around naked?

That would be because the church is based on a book written by a bunch of war mongering goat herders a few thousand years ago and was translated a number of times by centralized authorities with agenda's!

It also doesn't help that the church's control is centralized in the hands of one old dude who wears a funny looking hat and pretends to talk to a magic sky daddy.  

The irony that the church would rather protect the sub-human pedophile priests and not the victims which are fucking kids for the love of god, is frankly the epitome of the hypocrisy of why I HATE the church and it's backwards ancient dogma.

One of the highest priorities of the church should be to root out every single pedo and persecute them to the full extent of the bible, ie stone the cunts to death for sleeping with another male, I mean that's what the bible want for homosexuals why not gay pedo priests?

U mad bro?  Who said anything about running around naked?

What I want is for people to be held accountable for their crimes... I want these pedophiles put in prison... I want every accomplice who covered it up by transferring them to another church put in prison

I want the other 49 states to run a similar investigation and throw everyone involved into prison.  I want all of the countries of the world to investigate their priests for sexual crimes against children.

I want the pope thrown in prison since he has admitted to knowing about it and helping to cover it up.  He has admitted being an accomplice to sexual crimes against children!

I want people held accountable for their crimes, that is what I want.

LMAO, much like Cersei's Walk of Atonement. Shame! Shame!

I don't understand why they cover it and not just simply reform.
It makes me wonder whether the churches are really run by the "chomos" or they are just ignorant.

I believe the pope and cardinals understand the scope of the problem.  They realize thousands of priests are pedophiles, maybe tens of thousands.  They would have to admit corruption and collusion that leads all the way to the pope.

They don't have a solution either.  They could fire all the pedophiles, but that is like 25%+ of their priests.  And, it wouldn't fix the problem, more pedophiles would show up to replace them.

The problem is the prohibition against marriage of priests.  They would have to change that policy to reduce the number of pedophile priests

Actually the problem is quite simple. This Church shows the same galling "above the law attitude that we've seen in Washington DC regarding people who are anti-Trump or pro-Hillary. It's right out in the open, the attitude.

And just like in Washington, they seem to flaunt their being above the law and practically dare you to try to do anything about it.

The Catholic Church have a habit of spiriting away (the only spirit they actually know) offending priests during their "internal investigation" allowing the monster to molest more kids in the unsuspecting new parish. That practice must be automatically considered obstruction of justice.

I would go further then calling it a habit, I would say this that is a systamatic problem inside the Cathloic church as they try to keep their image up.

Movie recommendation for anyone interested : Check out Spotlight - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1895587/ - This is a movie about how the Boston Globe broke the story in the 2000's about how the Catholic church was covering up massive scandals (pretty much what's coming out now again)

I really do hope that everyone in power in the Catholic church sees some penalties and such -- I'd also LOVE to see these people go to trial.

I hope they do proper investigations in every state and every country like they did in Pennsylvania... 300 pedophile priests in 1 state is way too many, and if that is typical for catholics, they must have ~20,000 pedophile priests worldwide!

I agree, but while we're at it let's extend that to all the Muslim pervs as well.

Including those in positions of power.

Oh wait, that's not allowed...

It's not a problem for them. Child molestation isn't something new.

I have read about a curious affinity of the men in Afghanistan for young boys. I assume it's a subset of all men. But they certainly are not being punished.

Some weird reason like the "young boys are not men so it isn't homosexual."
