They’re so intent on targeting the CC - the “forest” goes right over their silly heads. I mean a non-story by the AFP on the CC, what next, the NYSlimes and Media Matters?
You do realize that story in the AFP originated with the Catholic Church, right?
The story got its facts directly from the “Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People”.
These are deemed ‘credible’ allegations by the Catholic church.
So if you don’t believe it, you are stating you don’t believe our Bishops who produced it.

The Church are not calling these ambulance chasing charlatans but “victim/survivors”.
I think this passage by the US Council Bishops should be read by you:
” Abuse is never a child’s fault, a point that children need to hear over and over again. Offenders try hard to make children feel complicit in the abuse or to blame them for the abuse. Children learn that that is never true. The blame always belongs to the adult who is taking advantage of a child’s trust and vulnerabilities.”
