Deliver Us From Evil - Christian Pedophilia

I just got finshed watching this movie, and I am astounded at the shear scope of sexual abuse committed by the Catholic church. The documentary says that over 100,000 cases of abuse have surfaced in the USA ALONE.

President Bush apparently gave immunity from prosecution to the current Pope who was accused of covering up allowing this abuse to continue.

How can anyone do this......

The elaborate conspiracy to hide and almost enable it to happen/continue......and then the apologists and sweeping it under the rug.

And I don't recall ever saying that any pedophilia is worse than any other.....I'm astounded that the largest Church in the world allowed and continues to allow such horrors to happen.

Well, I agree with you. How's that? But I can't see how the word 'christian' fits in.

Aren't Catholics christian? Am I missing something?

American Protestants only tolerate Catholics, you'll recall that for decades no Roman ever stood a chance at winning office outside of Boston. In recent years, the Catholic stance on abortion has put them inside the fringes of the Whole Gospel group, but there is still wide suspicion amongst the true immersion-baptised flocks that the Friday Fisheaters aren't really Christian. (All that 'Hoc est enim corpus meum' stuff.)

It is estimated that the Roman Catholic Church has now paid out more than a billion (with a B) dollars in compensation to the clergy's sexual victims. Any other sect would have been destroyed but a billion hardly scratches the loot received over the years, one dollar at a time, from billions of the clergy's victims of faith.

The point I was trying to make is that complicity in covering over an embarrassment is probably not limited to any particular group.

Well, I suppose not, but this is one glaring example of a huge amount of 'covering' on a pedophilia scale probably unheard of before.

Are you trying to 'sweep this under the rug'?

Not at all, I just don't think being a member of any group is a Prima-Facie cause of the problem

I think it's quite possible that this particular group, and the natural tendencies it vilifies and suppresses may be the cause of this problem.

Well, my own experience with a priest at age 10 would serve to validate your point. But he certainly was not being a Christian.

Joe, what you post may be quite true, but I find it awfully convienient and apologetic if Christian's do indeed believe it.

No one has any problems including Catholics when talking about the number of Christians in the world. Every single current day slice of Christianity owes their existence to Catholicism, who by the will of the sword expanded and fought for Christianity for the last 2000 years.

Catholics are the first Christians, they wrote/translated the bible. If their religion/existence is suspect to Christians today then the bible has to be equally open to questioning and infallability.

Uh ... Eastern Orthodox, Coptic and probably some other early sects may disagree, there.

Sorry, that wasn't on topic. Of course it's disgusting when any large system betrays the trust of its constituents, especially when they are defenceless children.

I think there is an equalvilancy to Hate Crimes here.

If we can assert as a society, and we do, that an assault on someone becomes a greater offense when the motive for the assault is prejudice and hate and is thereby a hate crime, how can we then not say that the crime of sexually assaulting a child becomes a greater crime when it is committed by someone holding a so-called sacred office?

Isn't the tear in the social fabric greater when a person whose very job it is to inspire faith in the unseen so recklessly and abhorrently defiles both his faith and the innocence of a child. It's an assault on trust.

And if the perpetrators in these cases all shared the Christian faith and used it to facilitate their access to their victims, why shouldn't we call it Christian Pedophilia?

Those believers who are more than willing to accept the accolades poured upon them for being a member of spiritually pious ought to accept the responsibility for what unquestioning faith can lead to.

The word Christian is Justified by the fact that there has been a systematic effort by the Church to cover it up.

This means that if you are a pedophile, you are at less risk if you are a part of the catholic church.

Christians, act like it is so easy to cut off dead limbs and pretend the body is whole.

And the US government is helping the Pope himself get away with this cover up.

The Pope.
