I don’t think all preists are pedos, nor do I think that the church condones such crimes. However, I do wonder why the church handles these situations so slowly and so terribly!?!?!? Does not make sense.

The implication is that if ANYONE criticizes the way the RCC handles its pedo priests, they are just like the Nazis.

It is absolutely sick to make this implication. If the RCC had not shuffled around its pedo priests, sending them to new parishes; if the RCC had not covered up the problem for so many years; if the RCC had not made the victims feel like it was THEIR fault, then the Nazis would not have had anything to criticize.

I think there are numerous lessons of history, to be learned here.

The more things change...

I wonder if our modern day national socialist sympathizing “journalists” will learn the lesson of history? Of course not. Even if they know the history, they don’t believe that history applies to them (cf socialism will work if we just try it again with their people in charge).

In an article published recently for Avvenire, the newspaper of the Italian Catholic bishops' conference, Introvigne says that Goebbels launched a fierce smear campaign against the Catholic Church following its condemnation of the Nazi regime that same year, attempting to convince the public that the Catholic priesthood was filled with child sex abusers.

Introvigne says that Goebbels' campaign followed the same pattern seen in recent media attacks on the Church. Although it was based on a few real cases that had come to light in 1936, and far fewer that the number of cases currently being discussed from mostly the 1960s and 70s, it exaggerated their extent and attempted to revive them after they had already been resolved, in an attempt to discredit Catholics.

Thanks for posting this, NYer.

Maybe because pedophilia has been a problem in the Church for centuries, and that the hierarchy (and their kool-aid drinking defenders who would commit suicide if the Pope told them to do so) have usually covered it up.

For too long, the Church thought it could hide its corruption and intimidate secular authorities. Now that these perversions have been exposed, housecleaning is FINALLY taking place. The high-hat wearers can no longer hide their malfeasance in the 21st century, nor are they as powerful in shutting people up.

Any Catholic who denies the above mentioned corruption and perversion is either blind or stupid, and made even more foolish when they parrot the high-hats line that they are being "persecuted." Welcome the the 21st century, padres!

Gee, it would be a lot easier to not have its priests being accused of being pedophiles if they actually worked to get rid of the ones that were. Just a thought....

The vast majority of priests are moral people and it only takes a few to tar everyone. Nevertheless, the not too subtle attempt to associate critics of the institutional failure of the Roman Catholic Church to do more to rid herself of these pedophiles with Nazis is more than pathetic. It is disgraceful.

Want to know what is happening now? Study Hitler and Stalin and you will see it unfold according to plan.

Good people in a free society are so easily deceived and the Left are the masters of deception. They are responsible for the term Brain Washing, which is what is happening with the Muslim now, and don’t think the two are not connected.

Look to Woodrow Wilson, FDR, LBJ, Jimmy Carter, Slick Willie (and he would have been as bad as Obama if it weren’t for the Republican House) and now Obama. Slowly and incrementally they have stolen our country,

An uprising like the Tea Party Movement is our best chance. And don’t let them distract us from the fiasco of the health care bill with all this other stuff.

Didn’t you just post an article by one of the Bishops that explained WHY the priests weren’t moved?

The RCC needs to clean their mess up with this issue. It is unbelievable this has been allowed to go on for so long and so widely.
It talks away form the credibility of the entire organization.
Catch the offenders and shoot them on the spot.

The high percentage of gay and pedophile priests suggest that the Church should be criticized, if not attacked, regardless of what the Nazis did.

As a side note, read "The Pink Swastika, Homosexuality in the Nazi Party" by Scott Lively and Kevin Abrams.......

A very well researched book about how radical homosexuality was instrumental in the takeover and eventual destruction of Germany..........and how very similar tactics are being used in the United States right now!

Example: A male republican U.S. Representative from Florida writes mash notes to a 17 year-old male page, and the democrat machine goes Puritan 24/7.......all the while the leftist democrats are pushing homosexually on our nation's children daily in the public schools, marching in "gay pride' parades with people who want to make child molesting legal, and funding (with our tax dollars) groups dedicated to the perverse sexing of America..........

The Nazis used the "outing' of many of their critics for political purposes, to appease the family, God and country Germans. Meanwhile, the Nazis were promoting homosexuality in their leadership, ranks and youth corps...............just like the democrats are doing in America today.........
