Aboard the papal plane (CNN)For the first time, Pope Francis has acknowledged the sexual abuse of nuns by priests and bishops as a "problem" in the Catholic Church, saying that "we've been working on this for some time."
And in the Philadelphia area, there is the 24/7 "Clergy Abuse Hotline".
We've dealt with this issue many times, but it will not go away. And these were the same people, who claimed divorce was a mortal sin, and condemned the divorced to hell????
 

Sadly, these monsters disguised as "men of God" will never criminally pay for their actions. The statute of limitations has run out on many of the crimes, so when the truth finally is revealed nothing is done. I have read that the Catholic church actually has a "fund" specifically to pay off abuse victims, and they have paid MILLIONS of dollars to insure the victims keep quiet. Just a disgusting coverup.

Recently the dioceses in Texas have been publishing the names of priests accused of sexual misconduct with children and the lists are STAGGERING. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/31/us/priests-abuse-texas.html
 
It's all over and has been since organizations began. Priests, rabbis, ministers, TV evangelists, scout leaders, teachers, etc. There's more to the iceberg than we can imagine. Disgusting!!!

"and they have paid MILLIONS of dollars to insure the victims keep quiet. Just a disgusting coverup."

 So what exactly does that say about the "victims" ? That just makes them part [of] the cover-up.
If it were me being the victim in any way......No amount of money would keep me quiet.
 
Can it get any worse . I was born and raised Catholic and hearing these things make me sick. I haven't gone to church in years because of all the things the Church has allowed to happen. Using Nuns as sexual slaves really shocked me. I was taught by Nun's and they were so hard on us in class. I can't imagine the power the Church must have had over them. Sick just Sick !

It says that the victims were children and their PARENTS looked the other way for money.

I agree completely. Me neither.
 
My dad got divorced in the late 30s. His first wife had alcohol problems. He remarried and was awarded custody of his first son, my step brother. At that time, fathers were never granted custody. Both my parents were practicing Catholics. According to the Church, my parents were "living in sin", and were denied the Sacraments of the Church. Yes, the same Church that turned a hypocritical blind eye to a pedophile, raping clergy told my parents they were "living in sin".
 
You have no idea the control the Catholic church had over people in the old days. I was raised Catholic and forced to attend Parochial school because my parents thought I'd be better educated. The nuns were completely sadistic. I cried everyday for months to be allowed to go back to public school, but my parents wouldn't let me. When I finished elementary school I insisted on going to a public junior high. My parents didn't like it but I won and finally I could breathe and enjoy school like a normal person. In parochial school I used to get sick all the time and I think, psychologically, it was just because I wanted to stay home from school and get away from the abuse.
 
I went to a Catholic grade school like Chic, once I got into a public high school, I stopped being involved with the church completely. There were rumors like this going around in the early 60s, before I even understood what might really be happening with the nuns and priests. Luckily nobody I knew was ever sexually abused by either. Today I don't belong to any organized religion.
 
My parents forced us to go to Sunday School when we were kids but it wasn’t Catholic , my friend however went . She had to wear a uniform everyday and they were strict. Luckily her parents weren’t so it was at least balanced. I’ve never understood the saddistic pleasure some people get out of abusing others. The sad thing is that the church is a perfect place for pedophiles to flock to. They instantly get trusted because they’re in the house of God.

My father worked with a man who volunteered at the Church as a Sunday School teacher. We knew the entire family and used to go over to visit them. He was a very sick man and his wife hadn’t a clue. They adopted a daughter and she was really messed up. I think it’s the most disgusting thing to get children to trust you in order to abuse them to pleasure yourself.
This man got away with it like most others. The power these people have to do damage is mind boggling.

Yes, and sadly by the time they grew up the statute of limitations had expired.

I knew a guy [now deceased] that went through the beginnings of that crap. I say beginnings because he told me that he was 'touched' inappropriately by a priest. He was 10 @ the time. He told his mother, she dismissed it ! About a month later he told her he wanted to quit being an alter boy. She said OK.

He said it never went past a few touches with him. But we had a mutual friend [which I knew @ about driving age, 16-17] that it went much farther with @ about the same time. [He] committed suicide in his late teens/early twenties. I lost track of him by then. He left no note, but I suspect ????
