For get me, my questions my feelings.
This link has questins that deserve a read.
If only to hear the victims voices.

Well yes another link, but just look at the numbers that have been charged just in America!
While not a nice thought Many will share my view of the cartoon type representation and words in a page one show.
sad but needs the exposure.
Night all sleep well.
Some will not, ever again.

Here in OLO, maybe up there in the Articles section,some understand human psychology far better than me.
Lets face it most do.
But not just here but for years I have shaken my head in pain and rage at such crimes.
In another forum,many years ago,a person defended child sex.
I was pleased as he got gored verbally.
But why do we, defend the indefensible.
Some understanding, but not forgiveness,for mums defending her kid.
Dad too,usually it is in private,at home they drop the pretense.
But we institutions and even the law or lawmakers do endemically defend the awful.
I think,strange? yes I even find it so? but while no God in my view ever existed.
I think some, maybe all need that fence around our actions and thoughts.
I understand these crimes have been around for hundreds of years.
And in my view so to has the decline of the Church.
So in my view Church's are about power and control, both wrong in my view.
And a moral fence around our behavior,but failing.
Needing that propping up that hidden truths.
What will our future be when we watch Christianity weighed down by its faults more than lifted by its goodness fall?
It will without redirection fall, maybe it already has.
Continuing to post links will not further this cause it will change nothing but it at least may take us out of the she will be right mate slumbers.

Not trying to breath life in to an old thread.
But welcome readers to look at it.
A story that hurts, yet proves my claim/belief for century's we have seen crimes covered up.
Had this, high member of the NSW Government, been a Labor member?
The SCREAMING and abuse would rattle our very roofs.
A victim, one of many, a guilty plea lodged , abused by a high ranking NSW Government member?
interested in commenting SM?

Some Protestants have the idea the Catholic Church is the anti Christ.
I never held that view, still do not.
But am shaken by tonights ABC 2 Documentary *deliver us from evil*
I heard much of it before, and other such things.
But have come to the conclusion that this Church, without extreme change will fall apart and soon.
I saw tonight a Church that knowingly willingly betrayed its members.
Without change the dismantling of this Church will leave the world a better place.

Had this story been about a political party.
Any one, any country.
Had it been an Australian one, about a party here.
Or about a union.
We know how big it would be.
I have no hate for the Catholic Church, any true main stream Church, oh I question them all.
I question the very values of another.
But is it not clear we are beginning to see the death, of at least this form of the Catholic Church.
To even consider why humanity so committed to freedom and equality is not standing together on this, century's old, issue hurts.
A Church demanding men not have sex woman too, must bring some times the wrong people to it.
