HA HA: Pope Never Got the Memo on Child Sex Abuse

by UK TELEGRAPH

(March 26, 2010) The Vatican has defended the Pope over charges that he failed to act against a priest accused of abusing 200 deaf boys The Vatican has defended the Pope over charges that he failed to act against allegations of sex abuse.

A Vatican newspaper editorial said the claims were an "ignoble" attack on the Pope and that there was no "cover-up", the BBC reports.

Archbishops had complained about Fr Lawrence Murphy in the 1990s to a Vatican office led by the future pope, but apparently received no response.

But the Pope's spokesman defended him, saying the Vatican department which the future pontiff was in charge of had not been informed of these latest allegations until 1996 - 20 years after the priest's victims first informed the police.

Arthur Budzinski is one of Father Murphy's alleged victims. He said that the first time the priest molested him, he was 12 years old, alone and away from home at a school for the deaf. He said he asked the Rev. Lawrence Murphy to hear his confession, and instead the priest took him into a closet under the stairs and sexually assaulted him.

Father Murphy was also accused of molesting boys in the confessional, in dormitories, in closets and during field trips while working at theschool for the deaf from the 1950s through 1974. He died in 1998 at age 72.

Allegations against Father Murphy resurfaced this week after documents obtained by The New York Times apparently showed that he was spared a defrocking in the mid-1990s because he was protected by the Vatican office led by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now the Pope.

The Vatican strongly defended its decision not to defrock Father Murphy and denounced what it called a campaign to smear the Pope and his aides.

Keeping all biases aside, there is an attack on Christianity by the elite. This isn't to condone the CC, they are low on my list of favorite rankings of favorite religions. But the larger point is the elite will soon be burning books and among them all versions of the bible.

Why would they do that?

They enable the "elite". They couldn't do what they do without the so-called churches help.

I don't see any such attack. They are allies. Or, maybe a better term would be parasites that feed off of each other. It's been that way for centuries.

Just off the top of my head they enjoy abortion at any stage, figures of John and Joe on the top of wedding cakes, transgendered freaks, and of course people who are completely non judgemental when they watch the Dykes on Bikes parade in San Francisco.

True.

But the churches support the war and torture. pewforum.org/Religion-New...fazed-by-torture-Why.aspx

Which is worse? Your "figures of John and Joe on the top of wedding cakes, transgendered freaks, and of course people who are completely non judgemental when they watch the Dykes on Bikes parade in San Francisco. " or CENTURIES of supporting or directly engaging in war and torture?

I think it's enough that I am not homosexual. I wont judge those that are. Just so they leave me alone. Just so that their conduct does not harm anyone else. I personally think that the reason "christians" go after homosexuals is that 1) they can't even identify with them and attacking them is like shooting fish in a barrel, or 2) they are homosexuals themselves, or 3) they have other sins they are covering up. You'd think homosexuality was the only sin out there, the way they go after them.

You can't force others to live by your values. You can only warn them of the consequences. I think they already know the consequences. If the thought of dying of AIDS doesn't stop them, what makes someone think that anything else will stop them?

But the churches support of this war and the torture that goes on does do harm to others. Onward "christian" Soldiers, marching as to war...

Have you seen the video telling how FEMA will use Romans 13 and their "clergy response teams"? I can dig it up if you haven't. Again, the PTB couldn't do it without the so-called churches.

Who's trying to force values onto people? I'm not talking about pushy missionaries. These are the values I grew up with in America circa late 50s early 60s. I think I have you by a few years, but our unique culture has been turned on it's head since that period time. In terms of religion, I support anyone believing whatever they want (or not to believe at all), but humanists nevertheless have Christians under attack. Whether it's Branch Davidians, or whatever this militia was named, they have a right in this nation to be left alone based on their beliefs.
