Thirty years later they decide to make changes and give them some money for counselling...OH WOW....I think the ones who knew should be jailed right along with the perps...they contributed to a lifetime of pain for god knows how many children and yet they go unpunished!!!!!!!!!!
spiceygamble: These stories are never fun to read.
No they aren't...BUT unfortunately they are reality in today's sick world...I will never get how it's more important to protect the good name of the church than to stop children from suffering....
I think pure evil has infiltrated the Catholic church which is intent on turning people away from God.. no self respecting human being.. never mind one that professes to be a man/woman of god could justify this behaviour.. it simply disgusts me and deeply saddens me too...
its a shame this 'church' hasnt been flooding the world with money for its needs... but then i guess they wouldnt have any money left for these lawsuits

Don't know if that wave was for me.. but I'll say hi anyway ... ..
Absolutely I said that in a post earlier.... if they were to sell even a portion of their artifacts, they would go a long way to alleviating poverty... there just aren't the words to describe the contempt that I have for the Catholic Church... I have never got it!!! thank god my family didn't shove it down my gob when I was younger.. at least I could make up my own mind.. although for a long time I felt a bit guilty about my negative feelings about it, and was afraid to voice them in case I was commiting some kind of mortal sin.. it may be that I am, but having learned a little bit more about Christianity etc.. I am more comfortable with saying it out loud now.. and I am not even religious.. I can imagine the guilty that religious people experience..
I wonder if the church even cares. And if they do care, do they care more about the way it will cost them in money or the damage they have caused to their followers by covering things like this up?
I've just seen nothing to indicate they are in the least bit concerned about the welfare of their flock other than the loss of potential earnings.

oh and
Well as far as I'm concerned they deserve to go bankrupt...I would thing their concern is still for the church just as it always has been....with a few token gestures thrown in to make it look like they care about the victims...like money for counselling!!!!!!!!!

I don't get it. These people should be locked up forever. Imagine throwing your dollar(s) in the till knowing it is going to pay off some family of an abused child. Sick, sick, sick.

The abusers and the ones who covered it up are equally guilty as far as I'm concerned!!!!!!!!!!
The catholic church is prob the wealthiest in the world. They would do anything to keep their wealth.
I know...You just never see the ones who covered it up prosecuted...and they should be!!!!!!!!!!
Yes they would do anything to keep their wealth...well if karma has any truth to it...they will lose it all to the victims they abused and rightfully so!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have wondered if there has been a "Tradition" of this in the Catholic Church going back a long long time that has only come to light in recent years, Does anyone know anything about this?
