Former IN priest apologizes for abuse

Let him take his apology to God

For generations, Roman Church leadership knew they had many homosexual/bisexual Priests sexually abusing children entrusted to their care.
The favored response was to hide those facts and shuffle these degenerates to other dioceses... thumbing their nose at laws intended to bring criminals to justice.

Then, after this time-bomb of their own creation finally blew up in their face, many church leaders decided to file for bankruptcy instead of fessing up to these crimes and allowing the system of justice to take its natural course... taking advantage of legal loopholes to save treasure because they chose to be accessories to sexual crimes against children but didn't want to pay their 'penance' for their sin.

I have not been a Romanist going on 25 years now. It was the religion of my parents and their 5 children were naturally compelled by them to attend as well. Of a family of 7, only my mother remained in that religion, and that I believe was because she feels comfortable at her church and is too fearful of going against her parents wishes even though they're long dead... a blind faith that Romanism has relied on for centuries to keep their pews filled and their treasure houses full.

How any of the faithful can keep putting money into the collection basket knowing how much money has gone towards the care and feeding of child sexual predators for generations and the legal costs they generated. For that religion to thumb it's collective nose at the law of the land on one hand but then flee to another part of it on another is telling. It shows the moral bankruptcy many Romanist church leaders justify.

Former ND student no doubt.

Not a ND student at all. My contact with Romanism was between birth and age 19.

Was forced to attend St. Therese (Run by the Franciscans) off of Lower Huntington Road in Fort Wayne. Was there from infancy 'till age 18 or 19.

After dad left, he admitted they were stuck in the 13th Century.

One Aunt who had entered into the training for nuns but didn't want to give up marriage though still is a Romaist even said the order that oversees the church/school I went to was bad.

The only Romanist church I actually didn't mind attending was the one at my military basic training. Priest was cool. Musicians were playing actual instruments like guitars... with no organ blaring ancient hymns. But by the time I had reached that age I was ready to wash my hands of all churches because I thought they were all the same.

At age 30 I started looking again, and am now a non-denominational Christian who has read the Bible several times on my own and am much happier. But that doesn't mean I need to hide the truth about Romanism though.

I might feel differently, but Romanism just like Islam is more than a religion. It has it's fingers in areas of life they don't belong in. Telling parents how to raise their children is one big problem I had with that religion. But it is a religion that many find easy to follow. You don't have to deal with God Himself because of all of the 'middlemen' Romanism has installed between He and you. And if you feel you can't please God through their works doctrine, there is always Marionism to fall back on.

The American Governmental system-local, county, state, and federal has looked the other way-most of the time-while our children are being abused by the clergy.

The most important factor for politicians is attaining the Church vote.

Regulating the clergy would be political suicide for many of our elected officials.

A wee bit more than I needed to know, just a wee bit. Can I go to print.
