The rampant rape of children in the Roman Catholic priesthood just won't stop. Coverage of alleged molestation by Ratzi's beloved priests doesn't stop either, despite efforts by the RCC hierarchy to intimidate the press into silence.
Tulsa, OK
From Tulsa World 11/4/09:
An unidentified plaintiff has filed a lawsuit against a former priest and the Catholic Diocese of Tulsa, alleging sexual molestation of a minor and failure to warn of past accusations.
Ken Lewis was "laicized," or dismissed from the clerical state, in 2007 after a history of sexual-abuse allegations. He is the only priest to be defrocked in the Tulsa diocese's history.
Bishop Edward Slattery is also named as a defendant in the suit, which seeks more than $10,000 in damages.
North Dakota
From Chicago Tribune 10/22/09:
In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in North Dakota, David Gaffaney, 47, of Minnesota, accuses Charles Anthony "Raimond" Rose, now 76, of fondling him at a Ramada Inn in Orlando, Fla., while Gaffaney was sleeping. The two were on a field trip sponsored by Shanley High School, a Roman Catholic School in Fargo, N.D.
Gaffaney came forward when he learned about five other lawsuits filed against Rose last summer. Rose faces multiple suits for allegedly abusing students at two schools run by the Christian Brothers in Minnesota.
Dominican Republic
From Montreal Gazette 10/24/09
A former Canadian priest sitting in a Dominican Republic jail cell awaiting extradition to Canada on multiple sexual molestation charges was working as a scuba diving instructor at a hotel before local authorities arrested him this week.
Joao Jose Correira Duarte, a former Windsor, Ont., priest also known as John Duarte, faces nine counts of sexually exploiting 12-to-17-year-old boys in Haiti over a 10-year span.
He was arrested Tuesday by Dominican immigration and counter-narcotics agents in a joint operation, local authorities said.
Wilmington, DE
From Reuters 11/2/09:
Victims of sexual abuse by Roman Catholic priests in Delaware will be "egregiously" harmed if they are unable to tell their stories in court, a lawyer for the alleged victims told a federal bankruptcy hearing on Monday.
The Catholic Diocese of Wilmington filed for bankruptcy last month, temporarily delaying eight civil trials that were about to start in sex-abuse lawsuits involving priests.
Bishop W. Francis Malooly has said bankruptcy, the seventh by a U.S. diocese, is the quickest way to resolve the 142 claims that stem from allegations of abuse beginning as far back as 1954.
While the diocese is bankrupt, its 58 parishes are not, and abuse victims want to pursue their lawsuits against them.
The child molestation and the cover ups continue unabated. Yet, the Justice Department continues to avoid prosecuting Roman Catholic clergy under RICO. This is a bipartisan scandal that undermines the rule of law and any notion of human decency.
Note to Commenters:
In a previous posting, I laid out a policy about defending clerical child molestation or any other kind of child abuse. That policy is permanent and will be enforced.
Any and all efforts to defend Ratzi and the Catholic clergy function as enabling Catholic priests to go on raping kids. There are some really sick things on the Internet, but that is going to far, at least on this blog. Anyone who engages in this sickening viciousness will discover that the following three things will happen.
1) Those comments will no longer be published.
2) All future comments by that poster will be rejected.
3) Links to any blogs written by those commenters will disappear.
This goes double for trolls who pretend to be concerned about child abuse while defending the pro molestation policies of the Catholic Church or denying that they exist.
It just goes on and on and on with these Catholic pedophiles.
I find it more than a little ironic that the Catholics are using gay marriage as a smoke screen to hide the vile realities of pedophile priest.
The Catholics are working with the Mormons and the Scientologists to push back gay marriage equality in state races. Odd, huh?
Every so often I encounter a Catholic apologist, like Mary Ellen of Bad Habit, who claims we're just making this stuff up. I swear she's running a disco in her basement for the priests to carry out their horrific acts.
And where is God when his servants are raping children? Watching Jon and Kate?
This is more conclusive evidence that there is no almighty and supreme being, because if there was, each one of these bastards would be struck down immediately for betraying trust.
What a world!
isnt it odd that gay marriage gets more press than these pedophiles and abusers in the church.
not really.....
great media we have...... ugh
The link is much stronger between homosexuality and pederasty, actually, than it is between Catholicism and pederasty.
There were societies previous to ours where pederasty was a "legitimate" part of the culture.
You'll have to make a decision whether or not you'll want to continue to embrace Christian morality or reject it altogether and simply give a pass to this kind of behavior wherever you find it, as long as it's "consentual".
The funny thing about Catholic Priests is the arrogance and firm authority they are famous for is taking a back seat to their continuing child molestation. You can no more stop this sick behavior from them than you can get the banking and politicians to serve the people they are elected and paid to serve. They all know God is on their side. We are a fruit they feel is their divine providence to harvest and manipulate in any fashion they see fit. These guys are truly and with out remorse Satans spawn.
