A "Catholic" Country?
Roman Catholics operate under the assumption that the USA would be a better country if only it was a "Catholic " country. However, nothing could be further from the truth. An article in 'The Boston Globe' on May 12 gives us a glimpse of what a "Catholic" USA would be like.
The article, "Scadal Erodes Traditional Deference to the Church," comments on the way legal and political authorities over the years in heavily Catholic Massachusetts have looked the other way while the archdiocese of Boston's priests were enjoying their sexual frolics at the expense of children. Some quotes from the article:
1. "The deference shown by Massachusetts lawmakers, three-quarters of them Catholic, helped create a system by which predators like Geoghan could sexually abuse children with impunity."
2. "Judges, many of them Catholic, were complicit in the secrecy that kept the extent of the abuse hidden from public view. Between 1992 and 1996, for example, a group of judges sitting in Boston chose to impound all the records in five lawsuits involving three priests who molested children because they reasoned that, 'the particulars of the controversy,' ought to be kept from the public."
3. "Prosecutors, judges, and politicians who once looked the other way when it came to the church's dirty laundry..."
The Roman Church hates being bound by any laws. The article said, "In a confidential 1985 report done for US bishops, the church began to realize its SPECIAL TREATMENT was in jeopardy. 'Our dependence in the past on ROMAN CATHOLIC JUDGES AND ATTORNEYS PROTECTING THE DIOCESE AND CLERICS (emphasis mine) is gone,' the report said."
This is obstruction of justice. The Catholic Church sees itself as above the law, and is not interested in equal protection under the law, but in using their political cronies to cover for the Church's criminal acts.
Pray that the Lord gives us new political leaders who will have the courage to stand up to the corrupting influence of the Catholic Church, and may the Lord continue to protect our children from the Catholic Church.
