Pedophile priests sent abroad to avoid prosecution: Activist
PressTV ^ | 11/18/2014

Posted on 11/18/2014 11:35:09 AM PST by Dr. Thorne

Discredited pedophile priests in the Catholic Church are outsourced to countries where no prosecution takes place, a commentator tells Press TV.

“A lot of the pedophiles who discredit themselves in more advanced white countries, where they’ll be prosecuted, are outsourced to rape, molest and abuse non-white black, brown people – And the church needs to confront its long history of racism,” Randy Short, a human rights activist said in an interview with Press TV from Washington on Tuesday.

“Take Africa - I don’t know of one case. There are easily 200-300 million Catholics in Africa and yet you’ve never heard of one case and I know from doing my academic research on the Congo that these things go on on an epidemic scale,” Short added.

It's easy for Frank and the boys to ignore Africa. There is very little media there and blessed little money to be made.

Been navigating the site. Get a load of the documentaries. Look under “programs” to see “Islam and life”. There’s also a 9/11 truther article. Looks like lots of propaganda anti west and anti Israel screed.

Hilarious. Like a hungry hobo scratching garbage cans, Dr. Thorne continues to scour the bowls of the internet in order to feed his anti-Catholic bigotry.

You got that right! Dr. Thorne wants to get Catholics all worked up. Instead it just shows him to be who he really is, a “concern troll.”

Iranian state television? Not exactly a source I would use but shouldn’t that report be “staunch Catholics”?

In before a single catholic says anything negative about their church leaders protecting child sexual abusers, sadly.

The Iranians are bat-guano crazy. And Mr. Short seems to be just their type. But that ain’t none of my business.

By the way, Wiki, going mostly off the 2011 CIA Factbook, says 135.2 million Catholics in Africa out of a total population of 885.1 million. I doubt they doubled in three or four years. So apparently not two or three hundred mill easy. Nice research.

Not much to do up in Idaho but think about pedophile priests I guess.

Pedophile priests sent abroad to avoid prosecution... works for me. How about Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria... oh wait they’d fit right in with Mohammed.

Biggir;:

It seems you have Dr. Thorne's number and that of some others while you are at it. I try to avoid these controversies because we all, Catholics, Reformed, Jews, other conservatives need to be able to politically march, arm in arm, whenever we can.

The endless attack on priests makes it clear that there is literally NOTHING the Church could do that would satisfy those who, lacking rational arguments against her, resort continually to the sexual scandals of priests involved inappropriately with children or teens (or anyone really given their common vow of celibacy) short of the Church itself closing up shop and turning itself over to the Reformed or the atheist/agnostic set and you and I know from Our Savior that such will never happen.

The fact is that each and every clergyman: Catholic, Reformed, Jewish or otherwise has fallen far short of the glory of God and short of what God had hoped for each clergyman. Ditto the laity.

Time was when, as a lawyer, I represented pro-lifers in large numbers in your home state when I lived there. I never pestered a single one to join me in my Catholicism. Most of those represented were out-of-staters and many non-Catholics. I represented each to the court individually according to his or her respective faith and beliefs, not mine.

The conservative movement needs all of its adherents. In our capacity as conservatives, we cannot afford to be divided by our faith commitments or religious beliefs. That is not how America works. That does not mean that we should not hold fiercely to our Catholic Faith on Sunday and all week long. We must grant to our fellow Christians not of our fold the same right. And to folks of other faiths as well. It seems a bit schizophrenic but we can all manage it here.

We can all point to instances in which our ancestors suffered at the hands of the ancestors of others. That was generally quite long ago. I am willing to give it up. Others must decide for themselves.

This year marks 50 years that I have been involved in conservative activity. It has given me the opportunity for leadership and to get to know Bill Buckley and Frank Meyer and to meet Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan and to fight Lowell Weicker and to help Joe Lieberman against Weicker. Only one third of those six were Catholic and Frank Meyer was baptized on his deathbed.

Our Faith is the most wonderful thing on Earth but our political movement is also well worth our efforts even though, as it must be, its membership is not mostly Catholic. In Connecticut, I found myself allied with agnostics, atheists, a retired Jewish college professor of Classics, a fallen away Mormon, numerous Indifferent Catholics, a Unitarian woman, more than one hard core Evangelical, a hard core black Pentecostal and a wide variety of fallen away Catholics and many still faithful Catholics. And that is without getting into the Rescuers' backgrounds or the gun owners or the Taxpayers movement people and I am confident that I have forgotten hundreds of others.

We lost some fights but we won more often than we lost even in Connecticut.

God bless you and yours!
