Nice timing for this Frontline Story during Easter Week.

I'll be waiting for their expose on Muslim honor killings to be aired during Ramadam.

Be sure to whip out your credit cards during the next PBS pledge drive; they’re your kind of people. Better yet, join up with the ‘Rats and demand more taxpayer funding.

I worked for the Alaska northern diocese a while back. The largest geographical diocese in the world with the fewest priest and smallest population. The jesuites were sent there and left entirely alone for years. No help, no supervision. No excuse but perspective that no one could have known these atrocities were going on.

I wonder if there's any connection between this story, and the other heartbreaking stories of priests who violated their trust, and this:

"Twenty-nine years have passed since that day, June 29 1972. It was the Feast of Saint Peter, Prince of the Apostles. It was the Feast of Saint Paul who brought the Gospel of Christ to the extreme corners of the West. On that day, June 29, Feast of the Patron Saints of Rome, Peter’s successor who had taken the name of Paul issued a dramatic warning. Paul VI spoke of God’s enemy supreme, that enemy of man called Satan, enemy of the Church. “The smoke of Satan”, warned Paul VI, “has found its way into the Church through the fissures”. It was an anguished warning that caused great shock and scandal, even within the Catholic world."
Think also of the 19-year-old woman who blasphemed in the presence of Pope John Paul II, "speaking in a cavernous voice," according to witnesses, and was heard to say "not even the head of the church can send me away" after the Pontiff had left the area.

This incident happened during a general Papal audience, in St. Peter's Square, on September 11, 2000.

Sorry, and I’m neither Catholic nor Jesuit and have no need to defend either... but this just smells. 80% of the children? C’mon... that stretches credulity. I’m not buying it.

Not one arrest? I double-checked: Alaska has NO statute of limitations for murder, or for sexual abuse. None. The Jesuits are as pervy and heretical as they come, but I’m finding it hard to believe that all these priests were guilty, yet not a one of the living priests was guilty beyond reasonable doubt. I almost wonder if some good priests aren’t getting thrown under the bus in the name of a quick, tidy settlement.

“None of the Jesuit priests are being charged with any crime related to this abuse, rape, and molestation settlement.”

Statute of limitations probably has run out.

Not only are the offenders culpable but those who knew of it and did nothing and so acted as enablers.
Those Catholics that have poured their resources into their church only to see these child molesters use it to cover their own backsides have been victimized too. They’ve had fraud on several levels worked upon them by their own church.

That some remain in denial yet is both sad and understandable.

Pope Alexander VI in (1492-1503)
The reports of this Pope include
Murder, Orgies, Incest, and Adultery

Pope Julius II (1503-13)
of which it has been said that
there was “not a trace of Christian piety in him”

Pope Leo X (1513-1521)
“The Pontiff has been accused of atheism,
for he denied God and called Christ,
in front of cardinals Pietro Bembo, Jovius and Iacopo Sadoleto and other intimates,
‘a fable’ ... it must be corrected”.
(Annales Ecclesiastici, op. cit., tomes viii and xi

Pope Adrian VI (1522-23)
was quoted to say

“We, prelates and clergy,
have gone astray from the right path,
and for a long time there is none that has done good,
no, no one”

(Secrets of the Christian Fathers, Bishop J. W. Sergerus, 1685, 1897 reprint, p. 227).

He lasted one year

It was in this context the Protestant Reformation occurred
Not that it has been without error,
it has been

Not that the fragmentation of the Body of Christ
has not been harmful,
it has been

But the context in which it occurred was
also profoundly flawed, and the Papacy Corrupt
Reformation was required

Protestantism also requires Reformation
The Truth of this is Bluntly Obvious
Doctrinal Drift
Teaching of Sinful behavior as Good
I have seen the full range of Sinful Behavior
Willful Breaches of all Commandments
In Professing Christians, Pastors, and Priests

The Body of Christ must
STOP This PROCESS of RECRIMINATION and BLAME
Our Witness is Profoundly Damaged
the Light before the World is severely Dimmed
and the World falls Deeper into Sin and Corruption

Shouldn’t that read, “nearly 80% of the town’s children were ALLEGEDLY molested by Catholic priests...”

Never mind.

Ka-ching!

Nice to have a big payday without even appearing in court...

80%?

50% I could believe. But 80% seems implausibly, er, (small-c) catholic. Lacking first hand knowledge, I could be wrong, but I thought Catholic preverts worked the same side of the street predominantly. Which, barring unnatural birth ratios in the instant community, would limit the potential victim population to approximately 50%.
