Need a Laugh??
Read the following Catholic headline:
"Church has Led Way in Dealing With Sex Abuse Issue."
Now that you've stopped laughing......yes indeed, this WAS the ludicrous title to an article in the Jan 13 issue of the Pittsburgh Catholic, the newspaper of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The article tries to make the case that:
"The Catholic Church has done more perhaps than any other entity in this state and in this country in the previous 20 years to address the tragedy of sexual abuse."
Comment – This really shows the warped state of the Catholic mind. How many thousands upon thousands of children were sexually abused by priests? And the Pittsburgh Diocese dares to puff out their chest and make a boast like this!
Another comment – Maybe the Catholic Church has had to do more "in the previous 20 years to address the tragedy of sexual abuse" because the Catholic Church has sexually abused more children than "any other entity."
The article has too many lies to list. One particular lie named supposed "principles" established in 1992 by US Catholic bishops. One "principle" was to:
"Comply with the obligations of civil law as regards reporting of the incident and cooperating with the investigation."
Comment – Has Rome complied and cooperated "with the obligations of civil law" in all these sex abuse cases? Of course not!! They've fought it tooth and nail!
The article rightly reports that actual incidents of sex abuse have dropped since the early 1990's.
BUT, as is ALWAYS the case with the Catholic Church, they never give you the FULL STORY. The article CONVENIENTLY NEGLECTS to mention that in the 1990-1992 time frame many cases of Catholic sex abuse were reported in the media, and Catholic actions taken against sex abuse in the early 1990's was not because they love children, but because of media reports back then!
May God comfort those attacked by Catholic priests. May many Catholics see the horrible and corrupt nature of their church, repent of the sin of Catholicism, and receive Christ by faith ALONE for the full and free forgiveness of sins – NO Roman priest needed!
