Different Rules, But not Better Rules
With so many homosexual and paedophile priests in it's employ, the Vatican is constantly looking for ways to cover for these perverts. The Roman Catholic Church is never sorry that children get molested by priests - Rome is sorry the priests get caught!
Masters at clouding issues, the Roman propaganda machine is again churning out conflicting and confusing statements regarding "new norms" for handling such offenses.
On January 9, 'The Catholic News Service' had an article titled, "Papal Letter Announces New Norms for Clergy Sex Abuse Cases." This papal letter, called, "Protection of the Holiness of the Sacraments," was basically just an announcement, with no details. The article said, "The new norms, however, were not published. Vatican sources have said the norms will be sent to local bishops on a case-by-case basis, because of the sensitivity of the issue."
Also, "The norms impose 'pontifical secret' on such cases, which means they would be handled with strict confidentiality." In addition, "The new norms require local bishops to report probable cases of sexual abuse by clergy against minors to the doctrinal congregation (ed. note - the modern office of Inquisition, in Rome). The doctrinal congregation could then allow a local diocese to handle the case...or the congregation could take up the case immediately."
What good does all this do??? Catholic parents are not allowed to know what these "norms" are, and then, the case can be bumped up to the Vatican!!! A case to be tried by the Inquisition? I doubt if that will bring comfort to many hearts. Yeah........like the average Catholic parent has any say so with a case to "be tried in an all-clerical court" in Rome?
And - 'pontifical secret?' Who does Rome REALLY want to protect? Of course it's the priest and the "Church." The January 9 article also reports that these "new norms" set a 10 year "statute of limitations," which begins on the victim's 18th birthday, for bringing such cases to the attention of the Catholic Church.
The bottom line is these "new norms" only HELP the perverts in the Catholic Church - by dragging a case thousands of miles away, and imposing a limit of age 28 for anyone to say they were molested by Catholic priests.
THEN, on January 16, 'The Catholic News Service' had an article titled, "U.S. Sex Abuse Norms Expected to Apply Only to Religious Priests." (Remember, 'The Catholic News Service' is the official news organ of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops). So a week later, the rules are changed, and now it's reported that these "new norms" only apply to U.S. religious-order priests (Franciscans, Jesuits, etc.) and not U.S. diocesan parish priests. I wonder how the rules will be reported next week?
The Roman Church in the U.S. is probably filling Catholic media with this information now to make Catholics think the "Church" is doing something about these degenerate priests, especially in wake of the recent problems Rome is having in Boston - where 'Father' John Geoghan (pronounced "GAY'gun" - seriously) has been charged with around 130 cases of child molestation over the years.
The end result is diocesan perverts have the SAME protection as ever, and the religious-order perverts are even MORE protected!!! Yes, these are "new norms," but not "better norms." Jesus Christ will hold accountable every parent who brought up their children in the Catholic Church.
I pray many Catholics realize that God did not entrust His church to an organization containing the single largest group of homosexual men in the world - the Roman Catholic Priesthood. For all these children brutalized by Roman priests, may Jesus Christ lovingly free them from Catholicism, and may these children receive Christ by faith ALONE.
