	Time to Put an End to Child Terrorism – We Don’t Need Any More Surprises Examiner September 22, 2009 http://www.examiner.com/x-12613-Pittsburgh-Independent-Examiner~y2009m9d22-Time-to-put-an-end-to-child-terrorism--we-dont-need-any-more-surprises The truth continues to come out in that sex abuse soap opera more descriptively defined as the child terrorism sex saga of clergy abuse crimes and ongoing Catholic hierarchy cover-ups. Will the recent disclosures about Roger Cardinal Mahony, made by a Catholic Church insider, (of Mahony's refusal to tell police and parishioners about an admitted child molester) be a one-way ticket and quick getaway to Rome for the California red hat? Will it be much like Bernard Cardinal Law's painless exile of 2002, or will criminal charges finally be filed against Roger “The Terrorist Dodger” Mahony? Now for the Details A once-prominent LA archdiocesan insider revealed under oath, that in the Year 2000, Los Angeles cardinal, Roger Mahony, chose to protect the identity of a sexual predator rather than go to the authorities and do the right thing. To borrow a quote from the late Jim Nabers, a.k.a. Private Gomer Pyle, “Surprise, surprise, surprise.” In 1986, a Catholic monsignor, no less Michael Baker, personally confessed to Mahony that he was a child molester. So, what does the Archbishop of Los Angeles do? ANS: Send Baker to other parishes where even more alleged child molestation would take place. As usual, no parishes or communities were warned of the oncoming child-terrorist. In a sworn deposition of Tuesday, September 15, top Mahony sidekick Msgr. Richard Loomis said that he warned Mahony, as far back as in 2000, that police and parishioners needed to have been told about Baker’s admission and yet other allegations, after two more victims of Baker's terrorism had come forward. Instead, Mahony insisted that no one be told. One can only wonder how Mahony’s public relations team and legal defense staff will spin this latest escapade of Mahony’s convoluted career as protector of child predators; especially as Mahony presumably lays in a constant fetal position, awaiting quasi-exoneration from the Vatican. In January 2006, Baker was arrested at the LA International Airport after having returned from vacationing in Thailand. Sadly, it should be noted that Thailand is a third-world haven for dysfunctional sex freaks seeking to have sex with underaged girls and boys. In 2007, Baker was convicted of molesting two boys and is presently serving a 10 year sentence. Another note worth mentioning is that, in 2002, Baker was also charged with 34 counts of sexually abusing other kids, but the charges were dismissed because of an United States Supreme Court decision regarding the statute of limitations (the Stogner case). Loomis’ revelations and an ongoing federal investigation into even more LA archdiocesan cover ups could link Mahony to plenty more acts of terrorism aimed at innocent children. Only time will tell, but honestly, how much more time is needed for the truth to finally be told, once and for all. The Catholic hierarchy in America and at the Vatican have been given countless FREE passes, yet they continue to cover things up via their public relations spin doctors and legal teams. If this type of terrorism were discovered in any other organization, a swift and just internal investigation would have ensued where the appropriate criminal parties would have been dealt with by a fair and just legal system. Sadly, our politicians have played the Catholic vote card – not once, but too many times. We can easily see who was dealt the winning hand.
