Wonder How Much the News Will Report about Sex Crimes in the Dublin Archdiocese Next Month City of Angels November 29, 2009 http://cityofangels5.blogspot.com/2009/11/wonder-how-much-news-will-report-about.html It's already gone from today's US news. Not a lot of Americans likely saw the flurry of reports from Ireland around the same time as the US Thanksgiving holiday. By Sunday, the only media covering the story were in Ireland, the headlines in American media on the subject are now two days old. The Irish justice department finally released its report on the Dublin Archdiocese, and news from Ireland filled with passionate editorials and anecdotes of sex crimes against children by priests and coverup of the crimes by Church hierarchy covering decades. Not really even News anymore, it's the same story we've seen over and over in every archdiocese in the United States. So now we know these crimes happened internationally, what is anyone going to do about it? The Church has to face up to its crimes. For decades, pedophiles saw priests get away with serial sex crimes against children, and now perverts around the world have become empowered. It's time for the priests and bishops to get out of those dresses, roll up their sleeves, and do some real work to change and clean up their Church. How will they stop the serial felony sex crimes against children from happening again, at epidemic levels among the priests again a few decades from now, if the Church is still preoccupied with holding together their image and hiding the scandal? Wonder how much the story of the Irish report will continue to be in the news next week. Or this time will justice finally wake up and see that the Catholic Church by its secretive nature creates an environment that allows these crimes to take place and the crimes will continue if there is no oversight. The Church has to be Forced to open its files and secret caverns so law enforcement can weed out the roots and cause of this international organized crime. Thousands of adult victims of pedophile priests walk the Earth today, with our variety of problems. In the USA we now have an epidemic of sex crimes against children and the criminals are becoming more aggressive. The Church sometimes responds by offering to send the victims to Therapy. The bishops are the ones who are sick perverts who didn't recognize sodomy of a six year old is wrong, not us, the crime victims. Why is the Catholic Church so reverent and faithful towards psychology as the cure for the problem? It makes a victim truly question the truth about everything that has ever come out of the church, including the story of Christ. Nothing from the last two decades out of the church makes sense, yet, you wait. Two weeks from now there will not be one story about the Dublin Archdiocese in the papers, they've already stopped covering it in the United States. Even though everyone in the world is weighing in about it now, every non profit is posting their "response" with a number to call them for interviews, you wait, in two weeks, the media will be reacting to another news story, and the Ireland Report will evoke a big yawn. Plus with this story about the Ireland report breaking on Thanksgiving weekend, how many US news readers even know it happened? |
