Catholic church "Get out of jail free" card

[Luddly Neddite]

Catholic Church must reform confession, abuse survivor says

An Australian child abuse survivor has called on the Catholic Church to reform its laws on confession to ensure crimes are reported to police.

Peter Gogarty said perpetrators knew anything disclosed in confession would not be revealed to authorities.

He told the BBC it was effectively a "get-out-of-jail-free card".

"What they are doing is saying we are more prepared to protect an offender than we are to take care of this child," said Mr Gogarty, who was 12 when he was abused by a priest in New South Wales.

The inquiry, established in 2013, gathered evidence from 4,440 people who said they were victims of abuse at Catholic institutions in Australia.

More than 4000 people in just one city and this has been going on since the beginning of the catholic church.

There are pedo's in other organizations, like scouts and school teachers but no where near the numbers in the catholic church. More important than numbers is that none of the protect pedos like the catholic church does.

Its way past time the catholics are allowed to protect known criminals - especially in view of their hypocritical condemnation of abortion.

Why don't catholics demand their church care about children as much as they care about fetuses?

Flat out lie...

Has Media Ignored Sex Abuse In School?

John Karr isn't a priest. He's a teacher.

Most teachers are dedicated, hard-working people who wouldn't dream of hurting a child. The same is true of priests.

If the suspect in the 1996 murder of JonBenet Ramsey were a priest, there would be a fresh outcry about a decades-long cover-up in the Catholic Church. Commentators from Left and Right would rightly unite in decrying the crisis and the entrenched complacency that led to it. Catholic pundits would take a special relish in pointing out that they agree: The Church had better get its act together.

Any institution that has allowed children to be harmed by predators deserves to be taken to task for it. No institution should get a pass. And no profession should get a pass. Not preachers, not priests — not even teachers.

Especially not teachers. And yet …

Consider the statistics: In accordance with a requirement of President Bush's No Child Left Behind Act, in 2002 the Department of Education carried out a study of sexual abuse in the school system.

Hofstra University researcher Charol Shakeshaft looked into the problem, and the first thing that came to her mind when Education Week reported on the study were the daily headlines about the Catholic Church.

"[T]hink the Catholic Church has a problem?" she said. "The physical sexual abuse of students in schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by priests."

Has Media Ignored Sex Abuse In School?

You always try to excuse the catholic church but your post is hardly an excuse or the same thing.

The catholic church has hidden all sorts of criminals for 2000 years and they are still hiding criminals.

Should the catholic church be allowed to hide criminals in addition to hiding pedo priests?

Again I never defended the Church, I pointed out the lie in your own article. Refute it

It's fun smacking you around, Lug Nut

Amazing how one would try to excuse the Catholic Hierarchy's long time protection of its pedophiles by trying to deflect to other careers such as teacher/coaches....I can think of ONE instance of a coach (Penn State) being protected for years and years. Can someone show an example of a teacher being thus protected?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Maybe BoPete can refute it....instead if her usual funny trolling?

And she is still defending it - right here in this thread. Not to mention she voted for it.

Any person who goes into a catholic church or worse, actually takes their child into a catholic church is aiding and abetting.

Is there any other example of adults/parents knowing taking their kids to a place they KNOW hide pedos?

I am SO naive -- When I first realized the enormity of this cover-up, I actually believed that catholics would rise up as one and demand their children be safe in a church.

Instead, they help protect the criminals.

How is that possible?

Not just defending them but actually making fun of those who disagree with hiding criminals.

That's what it is - a so-called "christian" church, the wealthiest business on the planet, hides criminals.

I think that's wrong and I think its wrong that people like you defend it.

This same wealthy business and its followers then pretend they give a fuck about fetuses.

Protect fetuses.
Rape children.

You defend that.
You defend the indefensible.
