When are non-christian pedophiles going to apologise to their victims?

Gratifying? Heartfelt? You beg to differ?

Frank(ly) you make me sick Mr Brennan. Have you ever been bent over a bed by a stronger human being and raped? And worse. Until you have shut your mouth and pray for forgiveness for you ignorance.

The only reason there is any attempt at an apology is to try and avoid spending money. There's no compassion, no empathy, no moral outrage. Nothing but concern for the coffers.

There's only one way you and people like the Pope can understand what those children went through. That is to suffer the same.

To wait years and deny, deny, deny as well as bully the victims through fake processes is the Catholic Church to a T. A fraud.

Others say it happens in other churches. No kidding!

It's probably happening around the corner from you right now mate.

The point here is the pompous, ignorant, pretentious and pious ignorance displayed. These people are given a trust unlike any other. Confession of the person's most intimate scerets. Abused.

I'd suggest the entire leadership of the Catholic church is right now hiding any number of similar cases.

Solution for them? Harking back to this Pope's youth where he served Hitler, the final solution is my choice for them. Stick them in an enclosed space and eliminate them.

Harsh? If thy Pope offend thee, pluck it out.

Kipp. JayB. "Do you have evidence that the perpetrators are homosexual"

The subject is Church abuse protocol. Er... Priests abusing boys. Homosexuals? Dur...

"as the greatest majority of child abuse occurs in the home environment."

We all know that. But that usually involves daughters... Hetrosexual. Here we are talking about PRIESTS.

What I am saying is that the same type of sexual predator is also found to be a coach at, Childrens sporting clubs, Cubs & Scouts & Other Protestant Demominations, etc. These are are not given the attention that Catholic Priests are given. These predators are usually just spoken to by the committees and then moved on. Usually to some other venue. They are Homosexuals Kipp.

The issue is long past where pedophiles may be found and the failures of all religions and of our governments. I personally get left cold when I see endless argument/discussion of who, where, why and denials from a to z. The fact is these events have occurred and I feel it is time to move the discussion on to what should be done to rectify the problems and to bring about a best possible conclusion for those abused. These discussions of who did or did not do what are to each individual abused a seemingly disingenuous way of avoiding committing to actually helping to make reparations and to become active bringing in professional programs into the churches. As one survivor described to me how he felt when dealing with the current Catholic process. "it felt like I had been in a really bad car accident because I knew I was really badly hurt". "and all they wanted to do was to find the car driver", "no-one seemed to care about me". He still feels that way today.

It really does not matter if the victim's bishop at the time the offence occurred has been replaced by another bishop or another supervisory agent, the Church is still accountable.Surely it cannot use evasion as a tactic to evade the law. Are you seriously suggesting,anyone out there, that is all that is required for victims to have no substantive claims to justice? All that fancy footwork and the Church is safe?
Cardinals and Bishops in the USA were notorious for merely sending the predators off to another parish and considering the whole matter CLOSED.Look at the number of parishes that have been closed down as huge damages have been paid out because the law there wouldnt consider fancy footwork an escape ritual.Cardinal Law is the supreme example of such evasions.

So now B17 has set all to right has he?
As easy as that?Let's wait for the next rape case.It's only a matter of time.I'll bet these predators are straining at the bit ( and other places!) waiting for us all to forget them. When that happens lets see what the repentant B17 does then.

Neither he nor his army of monsters have any credibility left.
